Best band on a NOPE (2022) T-shirt

Wipers above Butthole, should be reverse really.

uhhhhh I vote Mr. Bungle

🌍

I do like almost all of these though

jesus lizard shirt is the most amazing-looking one. i would most likely wear the earth shirt

oh we’re voting for the band quality not the shirt quality

earth

The only one I didn't notice in the film was the Buttholes... It's supposedly an Independent Worm Saloon one? Did anyone catch where it was?

I'm prolly going Bungle on this. I wore a Bungle shirt to my screening 😎

And yeah, all six are great bands and also Prince

if you asked me like a decade ago, i woulda said Jesus Lizard

now? Earth

Earth def wins if the contest was number of good albums

These are actually all good bands but the answer here is clearly Wipers

this is probably wrongheaded but

fnm > bungle

big black, melvins > jesus lizard

ween, meat puppets > og butthole surfers

zz top > iws-era surfers

no drone band is better than earth 2, 3 and pentastar

is how i break it down to an extent

don’t really care for wipers or rage, but in unrelated jesus lizard news found 2nd denison kimball lp in cheapo bin 👍🏻

i totally realize “is there an acceptable substitute for this band” is a weird way to compare bands that maybe only makes sense when living in the shadow of 30 years of music collector nerdery

voting Earth as well - not only for the drone stuff but for what they became later with Hex etc

like, California is my favourite album by any of these, but it's just one album (Disco Volante also great but somehow still not quite at the level they promised and finally delivered)

u so crazy, disco volante is their best!!

can’t stand gothik neil young post pentastar earth!

give Hex another listen honest

also put some respect on Extra-Capsular Extraction too lol

oh yeah, duh. i also really like the smashed amps live one and “living in the gleam of an unsheathed sword”. remixes are okay but nah hex is where i get off the bus

love late period wipers, voted for them

the first few jesus lizard albums are so disgustingly good that i am willing to forgive them for not having the expansive discography that the other bands here have

buttholes as a live presence > all the rest

not sure I have ever considered ween + meat puppets as a comparison point to the butthole surfers, the latter feels very different to me.

I voted for Earth. A lot of the other bands are great, but only one I’d want to spend a lot of time listening to now.

i know what you mean re: that comparison … after i posted it occurred to me a better formulation might be (ween x meat puppets) = butthole surfers

voting buttholes as their first 4 albums blow 99.9% of everything out of the water.

would be happy if earth, wipers or the jesus lizard won.

have never knowingly heard mr. bungle or rage against the machine (apart from that one song).

“that one song” obviously means mr. bungle’s “desert search for techno allah”, right?

Rage has def aged the worst of this bunch but best song in this whole crew would be a tie between "Youth of America" ... and "Bulls on Parade" haha

all these bands rules but the Wipers are the Wipers

but shit ... Earth is Earth. shit.

Haven't seen the movie but the Butthole Surfers used to have some incredible T-shirts before they signed with Capitol. When I saw them in '89, they had one with an ultra-close-up photo of a tick, and another one with a pair of rubber-gloved hands giving a tiny baby pig an injection with a huge nightmare-inducing needle, and on both those shirts they had borrowed the old Newport cigarettes slogan "Alive with pleasure!" Same font and everything. I almost bought the pig one and really wish I had.

sometimes i’ll be driving a loaner from the shop with a busted cd player and no usb and “bulls on parade” comes on the classic rock radio between “enter sandman” and “kashmir” and on those occasions i turn it up, not off

@stirmonster I'd add Live PCPPEP and Double Live into that Buttholes list as well.

yes indeed. just thinking about Double Live and i am singing The One I Love

“that one song” obviously means mr. bungle’s “desert search for techno allah”, right?

ha! i feel i have to go educate myself right now..

ok! sold! was absolutely nothing at like what i thought it would be like.

i guess i just see wipers as being on a different level then these other bands. so, wipers

having now seen it, jesus lizard should have got my vote.

Have not seen the movie so can’t judge on which shirts I’d love to have but for bands I’d rank them as:

Wipers
Butthole Surfers
Earth
The Jesus Lizard
Mr. Bungle
Rage Against the Machine

I’d use a shirt with any of these bands tho

I have this one.
