The Residents

Without a doubt the most mysterious & avant-garde group of all time, The Residents have been doing weird, awesome music anonymously and consistantly from their beginnings in the late 60's to the present day.

Named as an influence by outfits such as They Might Be Giants, TISM, Mr. Bungle, Primus and Animal Collective, the band has put out 60+ albums worth of material, gone through seven major world tours and were among the earliest groups in existence to make their music accessible digitally.

Their sound has gone through a variety of evolutions in the last forty years, drawing in everything from nursery rhymes to progressive rock to arabient to synth pop to metal, etc, as well as types of music we don't have genre tags for.

In a nutshell, this is one of the coolest and most innovative banRAB in existence, and if anyone deserves a shot at the rab Hall Of Fame, it's this bunch.

Why? You're on a discussion forum. This isn't some secret ballot or anything.

Speaking to a lot of people who post here one of their biggest annoyances are people who vote in polls who don't make any effort to say why they chose one way or another.

This is about expressing opinions, the end result and the nuraber of votes isn't really that important.

[Mr. Showcase]

Because Blur are awesome and Oasis are horrible?

I think that might have something to do with it.

[Retiwer]

he's a dick, but I like his first 6 albums alot, and without him there wouldn't be a Rubber Soul or Fifth Dimension, or alot of other stuff so tak! next

I know very little about the 'history' of prog blah blah blah, but what makes Yes more important than Genesis or Jethro Tull?

[Bronco 212]

i'm only a pothead so i'll just abstain. i remeraber liking the Karmacoma single a lot, which is probably why i've found myself to prefer Tricky's subsequent output far more than 3D's.

Seeing something I wrote posted by someone else, where I'm not able to edit it is painful. ><

(I voted yes.)

[weezyFTW]

I know that some people might get agitated at us for continuing on this pointless, off-topic tangent, but I don't care what they say about us anyway.

I don't care about that.

[natalie .]

Is the weather cold outside the palace?

[FlyBikes]

No. A band I love, but they don't generate very much discussion.
