I assume you are associating Bandersnatch with Larry Niven - Lewis Carroll's literary creation by a century

Since I love live albums, I will go for 12 of them. I will also restrict myself to one album per artist only.
Gong - Gong Est Mort, Vive Gong
Guru Guru - Live
Magma - Live
Van der Graaf Generator - Vital
Hawkwind - Live Chronicles
Kraan - Live
Peter Hammill - The Margin +
Frumpy - Live
801 - Live
Gentle Giant - Playing the Fool
Embryo - Live
Planet Gong - Live Floating Anarchy (not the same as Gong, because they
are basically the band Here And Now + Daevid Allen and Gilly Smyth)

I wonder if the newbies can let down their guard and have fun? 
It's not about the freakin' lists!

Startled, Garten jumped to his feet -
"what was that?"
An exhausted Mariah Carey stirred from a post coital slumber, and lit her 174th cigarette of the day (time spent with Garten is never without its hazards).
"Darling" she croaked - her once pure voice now lowered by nicotine addiction to 3 octaves below bottom C - "worry not, 'tis only the insane screaming of the Danbobeast over yonder hill"
"That's all very well for you to say," gasped Garten with a shudder "but I was so surprised, I nearly gave up smoking!"
He shuddered, and sat back down on the bed; gazing out to sea, he wondered if Mad King Rideout would ever return from exile - Garten had, after all, a special batch of his pride and joy to present to the rambling monarch: a whole firkin of that pinnacle of the desert island brewer's art, Gruntfuttock's Old Wobbler (with added wee...).
He turned to his lover, and was transfixed by the sensuous curves of Mariah Carey's new ashtray; unable to control himself he threw back the covers and kissed her with abandon...
Then he took the band off, and kissed her again.

Er, yes -- rather....
What my presently peevish (but normally nice) esteemed colleague and friend means is that one should read from the beginning of this old thread. In amongst the lists, there are some early Archives attempts at humour back on the ol' Island of Abandoned Progholes.
This might just amuse you a trifle.
Or not.

Hah! Fey youth - Damn you, and your Benelux humour. Bathing is a sacred rite here in England, and not to be approached with the cavalier attitude you European types employ.
Why, even as we speak, the whole of England is gearing up for an Olympic Celebration Bath; an event last witnessed on this sceptred isle in 1948.
The Olympics, that is, not the bath.
Mind you, now I come to think of it...
