Haiku Friday: Best bands!



Yesterday, IPLawGuy listed his favorite American bands (a list which necessarily excluded his favorite solo artists, such as Republican heartthrob Lady Theresa Thombs, performing above).  Here is how they came out:

My ranking of American BANDS with more than one contributor in the group (not solo artists or stars like Hendrix or Springsteen): 1. The Ramones. 2. Creedence Clearwater Revival 3. Allman Brothers 4. Starland Vocal Band 5. Nirvana 6. The Byrds 7. The Eagles (and I am NOT a fan) 8. The Beach Boys 9. Jefferson Airplane (not Starship) 10. The Sonics (OK, this is a reach, but hugely influential).

I totally disagree with him, of course-- how could you leave out the Grateful Dead?-- but I like the idea a lot.  So let's haiku about our favorite bands!

I'll go first:

They sang like angels
But were gone to soon; we cried.
Long live Spinal Tap!

Now you go!  Use the 5/7/5 syllable formula, and have some fun!

time it is? Profound.

She was fifteen when
She saw him, playing his bass
In the Oddfellow's.

The Isle of Phyve,Tom.
Tenor sexvoice,Young Rascals
Jumped in her bell bottoms.

"Brown Sugar" was an
alternative lyric for
something more direct.

Shout, let it all out!
Never saw Tears for Fears live,
but loved the LP.

Without their love lives
their music would have no words,
us, no Fleetwood Mac.

Dire Straights sounds like a
tough place to be, but Knopfler's
music is so good.
