5) Kayo Dot - gay beyond homosexuality

Okay, new rule everyone: you have to have actually heard the band(s) before you pass judgment.

Ugh, it's an association thread I thought? As in "what's the first thing that pops up in your mind when you hear this band name"

*ding ding* we have a winner.

 

[JayKeeley]

Here's some:

Kamelot: George Michael Metal
The Pixies: Fight Club Holocaust
Emperor: Will play for food

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

*ding ding* we have a winner.

Can't have a winner with Pixies & Gamma Ray listed as "I don't know."

 

[JayKeeley]

I know...we need to do a 'best of the best' list when all is said and done.

Megadeth - Rust in Peace is so fucking spot on for example, as is Kamelot - Dicks R4 Chicks (and I would have argued this had I not seen Roy Khan sing live twice in my life).

Seeing Kamelot live makes you want to take a shower immediatley thereafter, it's like watching a guy have a wank over the audience. All the chicks love it.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Kahn insisting on wearing a one-piece leather jumpsuit doesn't help change my mind, either. x 1,000

 

[Demilich]

ow, my heterosexuality!

 

[Dark One]

Emperor: Will play for food

Hey, you cheated.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Hey, you cheated.

At $50/ticket, it ought to be caviar at least.

 

[Night Mare]

7) Sigur Ros : maybe i'm gay (afterall)

I am surpised more people in this room don't appreciate Sigur Ros, I have been listening to nothing but Ágætis Byrjun for like 3 days, now it's time to start on Takk...

 

[Dick Sirloin]

I am surpised more people in this room don't appreciate Sigur Ros, I have been listening to nothing but Ágætis Byrjun for like 3 days,

Ditto. AB is sooooooooo fucking beautiful and dreamy, it makes me go

That said, it took me a year to appreciate it fully. The vocals are inhuman (in a good way).
