Some of D. Boon's rants are great. Also, Bob Pollard released an album (two, actually) of stage banter, some of which is great.

I as well. Flood might be one of my top 10 favorite albums ever.

Throbbing Gristle are definitely a humor act from the name of the group, to calling an album 20 Jazz Funk Greats, to writing little ditties like "Hamburger Lady".

brainbombs are funny and depressing in equal measure. whitehouse are funny, especially if you saw them live, consumer electronics is funny too.

witty lyrics can be funny, or sometimes when you can tell a band has a sense of humour although there's nothing particularly comedic about them (e.g. harry pussy) but what i dislike is what i think old Savage was refering too, bands who try to be comedians as well as musicians.

re: Harry Pussy, I once read an interview with them and the guitarist said that he has a recurring dream in which he is laughing whilst being chased by an angry crowd, and that that kind of explains Harry Pussy, it's a sentiment i find very agreeable.

Butthole Surfers obviously, early boredoms, also obviously. Napalm Death's scum is fun to listen to. I haven't heard much grindcore, but as a genre I find it almost comedic. Both times I've seen Anal Cunt were funny, because of the overall bad taste and retarded atmosphere. Darkthrone seems to be humouristic for a black metal band.

I remember seeing the Dead Kennedys way back when a certain Madonna song was popular. It was at this concert that I discovered, a moment too late, that I should remove my glasses before entering the dance floor (on the positive side, everyone was really helpful in trying to keep me up off the floor while I attempted to look for 'em). So I had to drive home with sunglasses, drunk, while singing "Papa don't preach, I'm gonna eat my baby, gonna eat it with gravy" at the top of my lungs.

Rob Instigator · 02.17.2009, 12:20 PM

I always thought of Mudhoney as funny guys writing many funny songs.

The song at the top destroyed me last night, but I probably won't listen to it again. I faintly know the chap, nice bloke.

Some funny in music is ok. I find I have quite a high tolerance for things like 2 live crew, but I couldn't ever abide things that could be described as 'wacky' or 'zany'. Ivor Cutlor I'm a big fan of, but I never really found out if there was anyone else out there like him.

Hmm.

PAULYBEE2656 · 02.17.2009, 12:24 PM

maybe im missing the point of this thread...anyway...

StevOK · 02.17.2009, 12:49 PM

Fuck yeah Rutles and FotC.

Has anyone mentioned Weird Al yet? I know that most of his stuff is fluff these days, but Dare To Be Stupid was a masterpiece.

Rob Instigator · 02.17.2009, 01:19 PM

chamillionaire was asked about it and he said something to the effect that weird al only parodies the BIG STARS, so he thought it was fucking cool.

Yeah, DK should have been obvious too.

Also, The Dictators first album Go Girl Crazy is one of my all time favorite rock albums for all of it's hilarious stupid brilliance.
