Greatest musical act named after a FRUIT.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Poll question: Greatest musical act named after a FRUIT.

[mitchum]

1. Moby Grape

[BurtWorm]

2. Good one!

:applause:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

4. Ah, I knew I forgot one.

"Unforgivable Omission"

:toast:

[BurtWorm]

5. One? What about Peaches?

And Herb?

[Amerigo Vespucci]

7. See below. I had my reasons. HA!

:rofl:

[mitchum]

35. I'm chagrined that I didn't think of Tangerine Dream

I listen to them a lot. Drifted off to Phaedra last night...

[Captain Hilts]

24. I just heard about Moby Grape last week. If you lose respect for me, I understand. nt

[BurtWorm]

3. Peaches.

Peaches and Herb?

[Amerigo Vespucci]

6. That was a wobbler...

...I thought about adding them, but that was her nickname, so in the strictest sense it's more of an act with one member having a piece of fruit for a nickname rather than an act named after fruit.

Splitting hairs, I know...but if I don't do it, who else will?

:rofl:

:toast:

[BurtWorm]

8. Splitting peach fuzz, you mean.

:crazy:

[Kali]

9. Fruit!

from Australia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_%28band%29

[Amerigo Vespucci]

10. I can count the people who woulda known that on one hand and have fingers left

I'm anxiously awaiting someone's post about a band that uses "pomegranate" in the name.

:popcorn:

:rofl:

[BurtWorm]

15. The Electric Plastic Pomegranate Happening Orchestra.

I think they were Czech.

[jobycom]

11. Blind Lemon Jefferson

[Swede]

12. Blind Melon

[Amerigo Vespucci]

18. They were named after fruit but I wouldn't call them the greatest

I remember when they were on KOME's "Blazy & Bob" morning show and refused to play "No Rain," their only hit. They were never forgiven.

:rofl:

[Richardo]

13. Cranberries

[Amerigo Vespucci]

19. They're in the poll and yet you didn't vote for them? MODS! Doesn't this violate some kinda DU rule?

:rofl:

:toast:

[Richardo]

25. Yes, the rule of reading comprehension.

Should it bother my bosses that I read contracts for a living? I wonder if anything ever gets by me? :eyes:

[Richardo]

14. Chuck Berry

:D

[Amerigo Vespucci]

16. Doesn't count, that's his name. Please exit to your left.

:rofl:

:toast:

[KG]

17. Tangerine Dream

[Amerigo Vespucci]

20. OK, I'll give you that one. I now admit to missing two "great" acts.

:toast:

[Richardo]

21. No, one of them was Tangerine Dream

:yoiks:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

29. Not a fan, eh? Although I admit that my favorite Tangerine Dream track...

...isn't by Tangerine Dream at all, the Gilmour-ish guitar howl "Confrontation," on SOME...but not ALL...copies of the "Thief" soundtrack.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thief_%28soundtrack%29



After Tangerine Dream completed the soundtrack, Mann needed another sequence. As Tangerine Dream was on tour, Craig Safan composed and performed "Confrontation". The original 1981 Elektra LP released in the U.S. featured "Confrontation", but subsequent releases featured "Beach Scene" instead.

[Richardo]

30. My first awareness of TD was in the soundtrack for, yes, "Risky Business"

Damn that was some annoying music.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

31. You flag the music as "annoying" and yet say nothing about Tom Cruise in his annoying underpants.

I'm learning a lot in this thread. Although sometimes ignorance is bliss, if you catch my drift.



:rofl:

[Richardo]

34. I think the underpants dance annoyance factor goes without saying, especially + Bob Seeger

:puke:

[Captain Hilts]

22. Tough call between Strawberry Alarm Clock and Electric Prunes. I opted for the Prunes.

"Too Much to Dream Last Night" edges "Incense and Peppermints."

[BurtWorm]

23. The Figgs

No wait... That was the Fuggs. Never mind.


:think:

[DFW]

26. The Clockwork Orange

They were one of the first progressive rock bands in the Washington DC area in the mid-sixties,
years before the film was ever made.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

27. The California Raisins

[BurtWorm]

28. The Seeds

:bounce:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

32. You KNOW what kinda seeds they were talking about, tough guy...

...and the last time I checked, it ain't a fruit.



:rofl:

[melman]

33. Rasberries

I love the Lemonheads but they are named after candy.

[bluesbassman]

36. Vanilla Fudge

You Keep Me Hanging On

On edit, I just realized you wanted a fruit and these guys were actually named after a bean. I must disqualify my entry. :)

[rkennedy_68]

37. none?

i know none of these bands
