my favorite bands, because if I'm anything I'm a bandwagon jumper.

[briewer]

I fully expect this to plummet off of the first page and never be seen again, as all of my polls are wont to do.

So, what'll it be?

[Alex DiVincenzo]

Sufjan

[FueledByRock]

I like Talking Heads the most out of those.

[Cøltøn]

Pixies

[Theseventhson]

Take a gander at the avatar.

EDIT: The avatar used to be the cover of Remain In Light by the Talking Heads.

[kazuma_ootaro28]

Flaming Lips

[briewer]

Take a gander at the avatar.
Well that's NEW! I must say I approve.

[Theseventhson]

Well that's NEW! I must say I approve.
Yeah, I changed it literally right before I opened this poll, and I guess it ended up working out well. I've been listening to Remain In Light and Loaded by the Velvet Underground back and fourth nonstop for like a week now.

[SolitaryBlue]

Pixies! :-)

[Broden Terry]

Tom Waits

[Metal Now]

Bowie.

[Undue Noise]

David Bowie is the greatest.

[xxmannequin]

Sufjan.

[briewer]

Wow, this is surprisingly evenly distributed. Except for Joanna Newsom, no one's gonna give her some love? :-(

[FullCollaspe]

Talking Heads

[kcpunk]

pixies

[FUCKDIRTYWIPES]

so many greats on that poll.

[color_coded]

Sufjan.

[alltimecam]

Is this best or favorites?
I voted Animal Collective as my favorite

[fueledbyvictory]

pixies.

[briewer]

Seeing the Talking Heads loving just warms my heart.

[reesa]

haha zero for joanna newsom. i only liked one song then i thought she was too...wierd. i mean like wierd bjork style more. newsom seems too quirky but if it gets people listening to her stuff because it's 'original' then i totally respect that.

bowie! :D

[Chalie22]

pixies

[Indoor Living]

Sufjan for me. Your faves are a little too...mainstream for me. I mean, they're alright, but it's clear you're a sellout.

Such a joke.

What have you listened to from her? I had Ys for the longest time, and I liked it but wasn't that high on it. Then I downloaded The Milk Eyed Mender and I have been listening to that record nonstop since, and I've grown to appreciate Ys more because of that.

i only got into one song "the sprout and the bean"? is that the title? lol i haven't listened to it in ages. but yer i've tried listening to her other songs but i get bored :P

Yeah, "Sprout and the Bean" is off of The Milk Eyed Mender, and a lot of the tracks on there are similar to that one. I say you should, ahem, "acquire" it and see if you like it. Either way, though, you like Bowie, so you're cool in my book. ;-)

Oh, and someone did vote for Newsom. Good to see.

[bowl of oranges]

Bowie or Animal Collective.

[jay_klinkhammer]

This is a pretty shitty list

[BulleTheory]

Talking Heads for me

[BulleTheory]

This is a pretty shitty list
how many of these bands have you actually listened to...?

[Radiology]

Joanna Newsom! "Sawdust & Diamonds" is, in my opinion, lyrically the best song ever to be crafted. It was a tough call though on who to vote for because I really love everyone that is on the list. However, I find Joanna Newsom the most inspiring to me.

[pianorocklove]

I was debating between Deerhunter and Sufjan, but I went with Deerhunter because I've seen them live and they were great.

[jwicklun]

Tom Waits

[bard]

none of them

[murrich]

I hope Sufjan Stevens doesn't win.

[muchoawesomeo]

this was tough. good poll

[briewer]

This is a pretty shitty list

none of them
Why isn't there a thumbs down smiley?

[kdefrisc]

las cabezas parlantes

[himynameisjohn3]

the flaming lips.

[MyNameIsRoss]

Tom Waits, goddammit.

[anamericangod]

Tom Waits and The Pixies are both acceptable answers to this.

[maker_break]

I'd definitely have to say Pixies.

[Codi23]

I adore The Flaming Lips; Sufjan is a close second for me.

[GamEin]

Sufjan.

[NateGolubiewski]

It's hard to top David Bowie.

[andrew_upto11]

the lips!!!

[holybuble]

phil doesn't deserve the last place!

[princesschad]

Talking Heads.

[Nick Hull]

Pixies. Tom Waits in second.

[inthemidst]

Sufjan, definitely.

[saysmydoctor]

Bowie and Talking Heads are the only right answers.

[mrnegativezero]

Talking Heads gets my vote. Bowie and Pixies are both great artists.

[newfoundmichael]

Favorite? Sufjan.

Best? Pixies or Waits.

[rckstr29]

Sufjan

Woot! Me too. Sufjan is a visionary.

[HometownHero]

Flaming Lips

[VIVALAMATT]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who put The Flaming Lips for this one

[MADSTA]

Soof, then Pixies.

[briewer]

Soof, then Pixies.
Unsurprising opinion is unsurprising. ;-)

[MADSTA]

Unsurprising opinion is unsurprising. ;-)
Eh, at least I'm consistent.
