@MayhemintheHood: Speaking of that MGMT video. When did that fad for glittery boy-men looking wistfully into the galaxy start? MGMT, The Klaxons, Late of the Pier. I blame Germaine Greer (not for this specifically...I just tend to blame her in general).

And Hammond. This is why musicians should never smile. Look at metal bands. Let Slayer guide the way.

I’m not really one to care for a band’s “image”. I feel that, when a band has to work so hard to look a certain way, their music is left wanting. However, an excellent exception would be Mr. Bungle, who had to tone down their stage act because it interfered with their music. (sweat in eyes, etc). If a band has to follow an image, that just strikes me as odd and maybe a little ingenuous. I don’t care how a band looks, if you get bored listening to their music, how can they be all that good?

I honestly can't think of an example because I honestly can't get really really into music by bands I can't stand to watch...

I need the total package. I am not out to get bored. Peeps better bring it this weekend at the Virgin Mobile thingy.

@The Illiterate: Something about all that long wavy hair irritated the hell out of me (no offense, Ned)

Hahah, no worries.

@Frankie2: Why don't we just switch the question to bands we want to punch in the face?

I have to say The Ponys. I like their music enough to catch them when they tour, but i've seen them twice now and I still can't figure out what it is that makes me what to curl up and nap on the dance floor, but that's exactly what it's like.

Also, death cab. not that i really listen to them, but every time i see ben or that duche with the fucking curls at his temples... i just want to punch those guys in the face.

AFI was the first band that came to mind. With a lot of the others- don’t want to see OR hear them.
