best band you can wear

Sneakers
The Marshmallow Overcoat
Marc Riley and the Creepers
X-Ray Spex

The Thermals
The White Stripes

Can we get a ruling on Wire?

Psychedelic Furs

no. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

the glove, yes

the petticoats, technically, yes. i have never heard anyone talk about them so i'm not sure they qualify as "well known". same deal with sneakers

i want this poll to hold up in the court of law

Sneakers was Chris Stamey, Mitch Easter and Will Rigby. If that's not good enough for you, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

x-ray spex?

i can't take this pressure

I will rep for Gowns even harder than I did for not hearing the Beatles

Perfume.

I want to say Les Sans Culottes, but I suppose by definition that's not wearable.

What does this actually mean in French? It looks like it would mean The Without Pants, which I like in its awkward ungrammaticality, but maybe it just means The Pantsless.

it means they didn’t wear culottes (long pants), it’s a term from the revolution, denotes a kind of working class status, anti-aristocracy etc.

sorry it’s actually the opposite: sans culottes didn’t wear knee breeches, they just wore regular long trousers

alber soboul’s book on those guys is v good if you want to go beyond wikipedia idk

the french revolutionaries not the band i mean

Guns n Roses? You can wear both.

more like a band that wears on you eh

ayooooo

:D

Y Pants

The Thermals!

Nothing

Flipper

The Chiffons

hood

Chastity Belt

oh, that's a good one. they're also good

the cardigans, I wear at least 3 every day (serious)

the thermals is a good one but is that a thing that people say? i say "thermal underwear" or "thermal shirt" or "thermal pants". i never say "my thermals". but i only wear the stuff like 5-6 days a year so i am not an expert.

same. but i can't find another usage for the word so it must be underwear!

Thermals are created by the uneven heating of Earth's surface from solar radiation, and are an example of convection, specifically atmospheric convection.

if you ask me out on the street what a thermal is, i'd probably respond just like that, verbatim

Steely Dan was a strap-on

what if i choose to believe Muffs means earmuffs

I wouldn't say 'best' but I have at least come to accept that my trousers will always bear the stain of my incontinence.

Nu Shooz

Also can I just

Also also, now that I realize it's not taken, I'm calling dibs on Cummerbund.

do plaid have any defenders here? i thought maybe they would, as the poll's only electronic music representative. but tbh, even back in the late 90s when i was listening to them a lot more, they always struck me as one of those groups that is no one's very favorite.

listening to plaid often prompts the thought "oh, you know what i should listen to..."

Needs Acid Jazz band Corduroy, not that anyone should vote for them.

Quck discogs search shows no Lycra, but there is a Spandex.

Dissapointingly no band named the Alice Band.

Just discovered Corduroy made a comeback this year, which has quite a witty title.

Headband were a progressive, blues rock band formed in Adelaide in February 1971 by bass guitarist Chris Bailey; drummer Joff Bateman; singer-songwriter and keyboardist Peter Beagley; and singer-songwriter and guitarist Mauri Berg. The group supported Elton John, The Rolling Stones at their Sydney performances.

voting other, specifying shoes.

which reminds me that the toms could also be an option :)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.
