Silliest Bands

[Kenbo Slice]

Attila (well the not so much their new album) all they sing about is partying and drinking and getting laid. But damn, the music isn't half bad and the vocals are killer. Plus, they put on a great live show.

I really like Attila's sound, but every time I actually listen to the lyrics I feel like a total scumbag for listening to them.

What's funny is, you would think the lead singer is a total douchenozzle, but he's actually a really nice dude.

I liked 7 seconds of love. The music and lyrics are pretty good, but it's always about pretty random stuff.
This one is about being a ninja.

I'll go with the stupid, but awesome music option, since OP totally ninja'ed Megadeth.
Electric Six.

Extremely silly band with odd music videos, often nonsensical lyrics and a great attuitide that says they're just having fun. Far from my kind of music, but I fucking love them.

Aw, godommot. Made a word search for the band before I wrote my post and found nothing. Posting this anyways!
Ninja'd twice in such a short thread.

Can add Tankard to the list to have something original. Active since 1982 and pretty much only makes songs about beer. Sucks a bit that Gerre, the vocalist, has lost his impressive beer gut, but it most probably means more years of delivering alcoholic metal to the thirsty masses!

Spoiler: Also silly music videos!

Finally, we really can't have this discussion without...
Should've been in the original post...

I would argue that weird Al is an exptian being as his music is parodies of other songs

I would have to say Steel Panther is a solid choice. I saw them play a few months ago and it was pretty entertaining. It's all sex jokes but some of it is hilarious.

I have just discovered this and I can't escape!



Well, I'll be here.... because I can't bring myself to close that tab.

Behold. There really is not much more to say after this band.

Psyhostick - I think these guys find objects lying around the house then write songs about them. Humorous especially since they're a bit on the metal side.

I friggin' love Psychostick.

Back when I was at university I had a roommate that for whatever reason never wanted to bathe. So whenever me and the rest of our roommates got tired of the stench, we'd play Psychostick's "Shower" at max volume on repeat outside of the door to his room until he finally got off his ass to take a shower. Good times, good times.

While not a silly band, Devin Townsend is indeed a silly man.
Going so far as to write a whole album stylized as his alter-ego "Ziltoid the Omniscient" an all knowing conquering alien, stomping across the galaxy destroying any planet that dares offer him a sub par cup of coffee.


It's also, pretty good music too.

Ignore this, double post

How can you say the genius behind Albuquerque is only capable of parodies! I suppose you could claim it's a parody of power ballads and stream of consciousness songs, but its a work of genius in its own right.

Spoiler: Video in spoiler as it's kinda long

This is pretty damn silly, yet i listened to their album Legplant quite often in school
