The catch is you can only name one. No "honorable mention", no "it's a tie between...", no "I can't name just one" etc. If you want to list a bunch of bands no one else has heard of so everyone will know how hip you are. go to the "What are you listening to" thread. What is the one band that everyone associates with you? Ex) Surfguy = Rush RM95 = DMB Oski = U2 (?) I guess mine is no secret. The Police When I was in high school, more people knew about my obsession with The Police than actually knew my name. The first band I ever played in was a Police Tribute Band. First ever gig was with this band at Fitz's. Walls were covered with pictures of Stewart Copeland.
My actual favorite is U2... but people often associate Counting Crows with me, since that's a little less popular of a choice and I'm always singing/quoting those songs. Used to, people associated Midnight Oil with me. Because I seemed to be the only person around here who knew they had more than one song. (the answer is always complicated )
The old p*rn mustache Al is a little cooler than the new aerodynamic Al...I wish he'd wear some non-corrective glasses just for old times sake.
LED ZEPPELIN Indescribably excellent. They are the best thing that ever happened to Rock, in MY opinion.
Simply Red. I lived in Sicily for four years, during this band's hey-day, and they're huge worldwide but less so here (kinda like soccer, I guess).
Gotta be Tool, in fact family is suprised when they go somewhere with me and it's not in the CD player.
