As I lose hair trying to reconcile my love of eighties hair bands and 2000s and on indie animal bands I figured a stupid game was in order to determine which genre is superior by reason of volume of bands. Once a band is posted, the next poster should add a band of the opposing category and continue to alternate until one category is exhausted. I think we can be casual with the rules. Any eighties to early nineties hair band vs. any post 2000 band with an animal in its name.
Please jump in anytime if you are looking to kill time.

Do you mean animal is in the name or just an indie band? Also, can it be a band that was indie and then signed to a major label?
The Decemberists (I'm hoping that I understand what you mean by animal rock; they are whalers.)

I really feel a sense of accomplishment if I've made you snort even once. You are a more discerning audience than the fifteen year olds I normally impress with my amazing comic timing. Strangely, when they are seniors they stop finding me funny - too sophisticated, I suppose. Sometime I'll wow you with the stinkers I impress them with. For example in Julius Caesar there's a character called Metellus Cimber. I always tell them that he's Soldier Boy Tell'Em's ancestor. I have a whole routine over the Caesar characters. Cinna has a Jamaican cousin Cinnamon. I'll quit now. I'm starting to stink up the place. :rolleyes: :beer:

However, I can tell that the guy holding the purple flying v looks quite a bit like my old fourth grade teacher Mrs. George. I can just imagine her with her smoked too many cigarettes voice teaching us about the Aswan High Dam in social studies.

Ah, you just need to get yourself to a regular-sized computer screen is all. And it's quite possible that Mrs. George went on to become Vinnie Vincent a few years after tiring of lecturing about Egypt to kids who just wanted to catch the latest After School Special.
