Is this the greatest band in history or what?

1. Maybe ...

but what about Big Country?

[ugarte]

3. Did Big Country have a TV show named after them?

I didn't think so.

[dchill]

4. LOL

I think maybe it's vice versa. Even if not - what about the Monkees?

[ugarte]

5. The Monkees never held their cigarettes this cool

I doubt they were even smokers.

12. lets look at those two titles for a minute

i assume their seperate tracks, being "Party Doll" and "Im gonna Love you Too". but i (at first) read them as "Party Doll, Im Gonna Love you Too" which got me laughing hysterically.

11. Big Country. Thanks for the memory. :-D

[ugarte]

2. Perhaps their greatest single

7. Looks like a band of Lestats.

That's just creepy as hell man. :scared:

[ugarte]

8. You're right, they had it all

Looks and talent. Probably they intimidated people.

[ugarte]

6. I thought this thread might engender some spirited debate

But evidently most people concede my point. The Hullaballoos were the greatest band ever.

[donheld]

9. NO, but this should be in the lounge

Yes i'm the lounge police :eyes:

[ugarte]

10. OK. It won't be the first time the Hullaballoos have been asked to leave

But they're not really a lounge act.

[enigmatic]

13. Actually, there is no better band than this:

The Shaggs



And the lyrics to their masterwork, "Philosophy Of The World":


Oh, the rich people want what the poor people's got
And the poor people want what the rich people's got
And the skinny people want what the fat people's got
And the fat people want what the skinny people's got

You can never please anybody in this world

The short people want what the tall people's got
And the tall people want what the short people's got
The little kids want what the big kid's got
And the big kids want what the little kid's got

You can never please anybody in this world

Oh, the girls with short hair want long hair
And the girls with long hair want short hair
Oh, the boys with cars want motorcycles
And the boys with motorcycles want cars

You can never please anybody in this world

It doesn't matter what you do
It doesn't matter what you say
There will always be
One who wants things the opposite way

It doesn't matter where you go
It doesn't matter who you see
There will always be
Someone who disagrees

We do our best
We try to please
But we're like the rest
Whenever at ease

Oh, the rich people want what the poor people's got
And the poor people want what the rich people's got
And the skinny people want what the fat people's got
And the fat people want what the skinny people's got

You can never please anybody in this world...

Rock on, Dot, Helen, and Betty..
