They come from my hometown and I've never listened to them!

The mighty


Peter Pan Speedrock!


lol their wiki page says their first album was sold 69 times :)

If "Zeena Parkins" were a band, it would be correct as Z, but since she's an individual, she's P. People, seriously...

I'll fill in: Zuzu's Petals.

FUCK ME I broke my own rule - they had already been mentioned by Stu. Always check first, mea culpa... So: Michael Zerang.

The Z does not come after the P!
Unless Trump has decided to change the alphabet...

What? Symbols was posting the next artist after Yo La Tengo. The fuck's going on here?

EDIT: Oh, you meant I jumbled shit up for naming Zerang. As I said, I was "filling in" because the previous Z became vacant.

Kind of a stretch. This is still a C. :)

Quok (Ava Mendoza + Weasel Walter + Tim Dahl/Devin Hoff)

Les Rita Mitsouko

stephen malkmus & the jicks :D

Ok, this will fail but I'll say it anyway


The Ex :)

You guys want to be bitch-slapped, is that it?

Fuck it - if somebody fucks up, anyone else has the right to fix the fuckups (plural).

We were more or less OK until R, so:

S: Still House Plants

U comes next.

ok wtf lol

just to avoid any confusion, the obvious

U2

Sharon Van Etten

van makes for v? like “ludwig van”?



(that’s what alex called him)

ok this time WYE OAK for real

bawlmor!

(in amsterdam. land of the vans.)

Xex

Maybe _tunic_ can help us with that. I'm sure Sharon was listed under V in high school, though... which could be a Unitedstatesean misunderstanding.

I was actually going to name The Verlaines, but someone who dubbed themselves "Death And The Maiden" (!) beat me to the punch.

yngwie malmsteen, if you're into that sort of thing :D

Warren Zevon

And Also The Trees

Nice try, that's M.

Y Pants.

Nice one.

Zezaree

IT'S AN ARTIST NAME NOT THE PHONE BOOK

not the civil register either

we're now waiting for "C" :D

(eg: "cunt, anal" lmao)

Was on the fence about the backtracking, but it provided me with a chance to include Zezaree (I just like that name :D) so I went with it.

Then what's the fucking point - let's make every single band in history that used the article "the" on their name eligible for T. CHALLENGE YOURSELF and knock it off with the insults, motherfucker.

Anna Calvi

De Raggende Manne

Him ok, just in case ...

When I was a kid, my parents took me to the anti-dictatorship protests of the mid-'80s. In part, I guess, because they didn't have anyone to leave me with while they were there, but I think my inconsiderate waste-of-oxygen father wanted me to be part of the "revolution", as he called it (there was no such thing; the transition to democracy was negotiated). The thing is, protesting involved getting shot, tear-gassed, or -best case scenario- hit by a water cannon. The cause was absolutely right, but taking your kid with asthma (which, incidentally, later disappeared, once I turned 13 or so... just like Kal-El! :D) to that scene, knowing he could choke to death or quite simply get his head blown off, was unconscionable.

The chant you mention was the soundtrack to all of this. I never cared much for it as a kid; I listened a bit to classical music and some Anglo pop radio hits. Then, once I discovered rock & roll, forget it, I wholly rejected it musically as well - and that, in the end, is the only criteria that truly matters.
