Posted - 11/16/2006 : 19:13:07 this letter takes up by far the most of any letter in my music collection. some of my favourites are SNFU, stone roses, suicidal tendancies, stellastarr* and of course my favourite....
SUGAR!

Posted - 11/30/2006 : 12:50:02 I know it says just to name the best, but there are so many great "S" bands I thought would have been mentioned that I must submit a list. A few of my faves have already been mentioned, but I would like to add the following names:
Sun City Girls Spearhead Sun Ra Soul Coughing Suicide The Slits Silver Apples Swell Maps Swans Syzygys
If we're going with surnames, I would also nominate Raymond Scott and Karlheinz Stockhausen, two of the twentieth century's most important contributors.
Nothing is ever something. |

Posted - 11/21/2006 : 07:18:49 I'm surprised there's been no mention of The Soft Machine. That first album, especially, is unbelieveable. Also Judee Sill

I joined the cult of Souled American / 'cause they are a damn' fine band |

Posted - 11/20/2006 : 08:06:27 Septic Death, but I wouldn't call them the best S band I've ever heard! They were Pushead's band (y'know, the guy who has done a lot artwork for Metallica, among others).

Luis Bunuel |
Posted - 11/19/2006 : 00:56:41 The Skeletons are pretty bad-ass...
Sonic Youth is my favorite 'S' band though. |

Oh, and don't forget Soundgarden, although I wouldn't necessarily call them the best S band ever!!

Posted - 11/17/2006 : 09:23:18 I'm seconding Carolyn's (and later Darwin's) nomination of Spoon. I guess that means I'm thirding it.
Some might say Superfriends. Not me though.

Posted - 11/17/2006 : 09:19:03 After much deep thought I'll go with Superchunk and Spoon. |

Posted - 11/17/2006 : 09:05:10 Sunset Rubdown are my new favourite 'S' band, but for all time I will have to go with The Shins and Sigur Ros.
I'd walk her everyday, into a shady place

Posted - 11/17/2006 : 08:20:59 The old man might say Slayer or Sepultura. My son might say Slipknot or System of a Down. I think I'll go with Spoon.

I'd plump for the Smiths still, but Elliott would be a close runner up.
