The fact that the list is comprised of bands post-1990 (The earliest in the list, Fire Bomber/Macross 7, is from 1994) and does not include at least one well known band before that is a fair point of criticism and justifiable. How long back Gia should've gone is debatable at best, but not giving a nod to at least one 80's-era band is unacceptable.

Fire Bomber's hideous. Tone-deaf as fark. I'd rather insert some of the "bands" in Sket Dance than them.

Not my intention. But what you are implying with this response is that she has seen BGC, but didn't think it worth listing. Was that your intent? Wink

Gotta agree with this, seriously when I saw the topic I ALSO figured "Priss & the Replicants" would at least factor into the thing. They may be the only anime band besides Fire Bomber (??) to actually HAVE their own "concert" video release. I comment more because I can't believe they should be left off in favor of ANY of the bottom 4. (Fire Bomber, Beck, "a band from NANA" and Houkago Tea Time I get, but the other 4? Anime dazed)

Also, I don't think it's a turnoff for "new" fans if you have ONE (out of 8) items be from an older classic. Heck, if anything an article like this should be a good opportunity for people to FIND interesting things they haven't seen before.

And wrong line from Death Note for last week's survey, it should've been:
"I'll take a potato chip... AND EAT IT!"

You know, we should all probably just be glad that the Bok Choy Sisters from Gokudo didn't make the list.


In terms of BGC, I assume everyone means the original series? 2040 had the same band, although I'd be the first to agree that the original's soundtrack is much better. (The 3-disc set plays frequently at my house.) I agree it's an oversight, but I'm fairly certain Gia had her reasons.

I think the band Priscilla was in 2040 was called Sekiria. IIRC, Sekiri in Japanese means.....dysentery.

Speaking of which, what happened to Buried Treasure/Garbage?

It's on an irregular schedule where it comes out whenever Justin feels like he's got something to share, I believe.

The new poll is cruel. How do I pick between Hayate and Roberta?

I can't quote this hard enough. Maybe I should underline it?

They're not technically a band, are they? None of them play instruments.

Well, they do have their panda back-up band... Cool

Would have to agree that DMC should've been on the list.

Those two were definitely on my mind, as well as whatever the musical entity(s) was(were) for Key the Metal Idol.

Something about the music in Key definitely struck a chord with me...
