As a follow-on to the way-off-topic thread in Spin Zone trying to get songs stuck in reader's heads... I thought this was an appropriate test:


--------------------------------
ARE YOU IN THE WORST BAND IN THE WORLD?
Take this simple multiple-choice quiz and save yourself some embarrassment!

1 How long is your drummer’s solo?
a) He doesn’t get one.
b) A couple minutes is all, and it’s very funky.
c) Which of our drummers are you talking about?

2 What is the secret of your success?
a) Inspiration.
b) Perspiration.
c) Butchering old soul classics in a manner beloved by middle-aged housewives and the mentally unwell.

3 How many times has your band’s lineup changed?
a) Never happened, dude. If anyone left, it just wouldn’t be the same.
b) A few. It’s so hard to find a good accordionist.
c) 1,179.

4 The name of your band is…
a) A favorite phrase from a William S. Burroughs novel.
b) An action verb, followed by an even number.
c) Indistinguishable from that of an accounting firm.

5 What is your favorite subject matter for lyrics?
a) The pain of loving.
b) The joy of drinking.
c) Dragons. Or dungeons. But mostly dragons.

IF YOU ANSWERED…
Mostly a): Congratulations! You’re in a good band.
Mostly b): Commiserations! You’re in a not-very-good band.
Mostly c): What’s that sucking sound? Oh, it’s you. CLARK COLLIS

It made me sad to see the Hooters on the list. They were such a great local band. Then they got a recording contract. I remember sitting around listening to their first national release with a bunch of Hooters fans. We kinda put our heads in our hands and wondered what they were thinking. Mandolins? Honestly! All downhill from there.

I hated the Hooters. At the time of their big break I was working with a guy who had worked on their sound crew when he was in college. I never heard their stuff pre-MTV but he loved them and would go one endlessly about how great they were. It was a bit annoying actually.
 
Pre-MTV Good. Post-MTV -Ugh, blecch, puke, yuck.

When a band ok's the label's suggestion that each member be color-coded, and wear only that color on stage, you know they've sold out and will never make good music again.
 
Hey! I like the Goo Goo Dolls. unfortunate name though.

and I really really agree with Live's inclusion. triple ugh.
