After the "discussion" on the black metal thread where most of us piled on Pantera/Phil Anselmo for being macho/tough guy knuckled headed bullshit I was wondering who the wimpiest band ever was and did a search thinking there would be a thread on it , but no. So who is the wimpiest band(s) ever?

Maybe we can use the thread as a nominations process for a poll later if there is no overwhelming winner.

the funny thing is with these 80s rawk bands, the people who listened to them actually sometimes thought they were hard men listening to metal. A couple of people (older) in my school were like that, and when I moved to Hamilton i came across a lot more. Im surprised the local thrashers never beat them up tbh.

I don't see how any hair metal band could be the "wimpiest band ever". Even if their image was harder than they actually were, their music was still rougher than Simon & Garfunkel, or Erasure, or Modern Talking, or... You can't be the wimpiest ever if you've chosen a non-wimpy genre.
