The best band up there, IMO, is Sixpence, but there are far superior bands out there. Does it have to be a Christian Band? Does it have to be a current band?

How about U2?

How about Chasing Furies?

How about Phil Keaggy? This isn't going to have any practical outcome so you can suggest any band you like! :D

Maybe not, but would you like to be identified with inferiority?

For instance, can you imagine the horror of this grave-stone message:

"Poor old fool liked Wayne Newton-Denkeshein"

Why don't we form our own band and make it the official band of TOL?

Ok, that idea won't fly, so how about...Burlap to Cashmere?

The Lost Dogs should be our band, and this should be our song (it perfectly describes the diversity of the TOL members and the objective of TOL to make Christ known)...

Hey, I like Lost Dogs too! How about this song?

Bad Indigestion (http://www.thelostdogs.com/lyrics/littleredridinghood/index.html)
(Terry Taylor)

Twinkees were a defense
For a murder binge
The killer had a high sugar count
But now he's on the mend
He sold his soul to the hostess
She turned his brain to mush
The lawyer said "sure, he
Killed 'em judge. It was just
A sugar rush!"

Fat on the bacon
Wool on the lamb
Flies in the ointment
Murder in the ham
Hardened hearts and arteries
Salt block in the Spam
Lord save us all from this
Bad Indigestion

Well, would we do the things we do
If there weren't poison in our blood
Would we hurt our fellow man
While consuming all this crud
Break our vows
Go to war
Put mankind to shame
If a chemical imbalance
Weren't coursing through our veins

Fat on the bacon
Wool on the lamb
Butter on the biscuits
Grease in the pan
Dyes in the candy
Tubas in the band
Lord save us all from this bad indigestion

The god of our benefits is
The great horn O' plenty (Cornucopia)
Moves it's great vegetable hand
Puts a little fruit in all of our baskets
Helps us function better in the can

Montezuma's revenge has
Got us on the run
Double meat velveeta cheese
Between two hot cross buns
Take seltzer and a prune
Pepto Bismal and a Tum
And look into the crap we eat
You'll find a smoking gun

Hmm, you should hear Slit the Wrists. Kelly shrieks like a banshee at the end, it's beautiful. You can (mostly) understand him too.

I voted for P.O.D., but only because they use to have really great, heavy, "raw" songs (e.g., Brown). I'm not saying I don't like their new stuff, it's catchy... it's just not what they use to be: it's way to mainstream oriented and over-produced.

I thought it asked who TOL should officially ban. Hee hee.
I would suggest some angry, heavy metal screaming band, like Metalica or Rage against the machine.

One of the guys from Philmore was a judge at the last round of the tournament we played. Ike and I suspect he was the one who said our bass player was the greatest ever, hehe.
