Bangladesh. I was a representative of theirs for the Model U.N., which is high school's version of, well, the U.N. My friend and I always called Bangladesh "Christmas in Japan." Random, I know.

There was an unwritten rule against non-metal bands being included in the final polls, though Godspeed did sneak by...that and no post-rock band has acheived genuine RC cult status, The Evpatoria Report comes close (I have yet to see any mention of them outside this forum...shame.)

 

[Sadguru]

Wow, Royal Blackage is it.
