These are all artists listed in the PA database (not including Proto and Related). There was some names I had to leave out, including these two which I thought were too long to fit... The National Orchestra Of The Untied Kingdom Of Goats Stubborn Tiny Lights Vs Clustering Darkness Forever OK ------------- Magma America Great Make Again |

Silently regretting the lack of a "None"-option, I find a bit of fun in a name like "The Rancid Yak Butter Tea Party". -------------

Voted for the Yak.Regardless the name Angel in Heavy Syrup is a great band. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

"Eating Seats" has a surprisingly catchy ring to it, but I voted for "Honey Ride Me A Goat" |

| I felt compelled to pick a band that didn't suck so I randomly searched until I found one I could listen to - and that was Your Electric Grandmother. I know the poll isn't about the music, but still. They're a little too modern metal for me but they're good. |

Actually, A Clean Kitchen is a Happy Kitchen as it made me laugh. Followed by Jumping Puddles because it triggers memories.

I actually own an "Angel in Heavy Syrup" album (an all-girl Japanese psych/prog band) but I voted for "Rancid Yak Tea Party". Reminds me of the old Ren & Stimpy "Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen" song ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

The best band name remains Frumious Bandersnatch, the 1960s S.F. psychedelic band that borrowed the nick from Lewis Carroll. Too bad the band wasn't better, musically speaking. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |
