Shit Talk Most Bangable Band
posted by on April 12 at 11:46 AM
It’s a discussion I have at least once a year, mostly because it involves an irresistible combination of titillation and revulsion: What band would you most enjoy having sex with?
Clearly this question is the disturbed older sibling of the classic “name your celebrity dream date!” discussion. Eroticizing an entire band is hard. In the world of “most bangable band” discussions, you only get to do Jack White if you’re willing to do Meg White, and vice versa. For every gloatingly sexy frontman there’s a hideous bass player. It’s a tough call, and for years, my easy-out answer was the Beastie Boys. (Ad-Rock’s dreamy, MCA has a sexy voice, and I could just lie back and think of England with Mike D.)
But now I want you to suffer. If you had to get busy with an entire band—every single member—which band would it be?
(Most interesting choice from a recent pollee: Pedro the Lion.)
Why, the bangles, of course! (Note, Michael Steele is no longer in the band.)
This was very helpful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_all-women_bands
No doubt in my mind: 'Blonde Redhead'
Bon Jovi or course. Hot beasts all, with Jon being the hottest.
The White Stripes. Oh yeah.
The Gutter Twins (Mark Lanegan & Greg Dulli)
Tegan and Sara. mmmm. twins.
Hmmm... The Donnas?
Bikini Kill in 1990.
No-brainer: Duran Duran. Yes, even in the Warren Cuccurullo days. Yes, even now.
Brazilian girls.
Extra Fancy
The Promise Ring
LFO
The Pipettes?
The Supremes circa 1965? The Runaways circa 1976? Girlschool?
All Girl Summer Fun Band.
The Hands
"Awesome"
Yes, all seven of them, even Evan.
Yes, Duran Duran is God's gift to girls and guys who like guys who look like girls.
But for man-loving me, only Simon and Roger were ever butchy enough.
However, I love the time-specific answers. The Beatles in 1964 were the most attractive band ever.
Does Miranda July count?
i'd do TAD, circa "god's balls." now shut the fuck up.
Luscious Jackson, c1995
The Trucks, of course!
the go-gos, circa 1982
elastica, circa 1994 (and yes, i'd take on their dude drummer if it meant i'd get a shot at the rest of them)
pussycat dolls....
My local favorite -- the Cops! They are all completely bangable!
The thermals are all gorgeous. And sweaty.
Pfft... I can't belive no one's mentioned Ursula and the Androids or Jackie Hell and the Control Tops.
Re: Ari @ 23: I don't know what the Thermals look like, but their record is kicking my ass.
I think there are actually quite a few bangable bands in the local scene. I'd do the Cops from Sea town, Derby, Crosstide, Bryan Free and the Doxyhaunts from Portland... it gets trickier on the national level... which leads one to ponder; does rock-stardom make you less hot? Hmm.
Visqueen. I would take a load from Ben Hooker for the opportunity to get with the girl of my rock 'n' roll dreams.
a tribe called quest, circa low end theory. clearly. none hotter than q-tip around that time. ali shaheed muhammad? smokin'. & i've always thought little phife dawg was a cutie...
Destiny's Child -- or En Vogue, circa 1991.
In general, one R&B girl group after another.
Carly @ 5: yes, exactly. At the same time.
Or Queens of the Stone Age, circa the summer 02 tour (Lanegan, Grohl, Homme, Oliveri).
And while I loves me some Lanegan, I don't think I'm woman enough for the Screaming Trees. No offense.
Funny, I always thought Janet Weiss was the hot one.
But this is too easy: All Girl Summer Fun Band.
Hanson. Those bitches were HAWT!
Xiu Xiu, which is gonna gross Caralee out to the max. Those boys in The Ballet are good too--
Whichever band Neko Case is currently in - if she's considering a solo artist, all the better, but if she's got a backing band of fifteen hundred pig-ugly redneck sons of bitches, I'd still go through all of them for the opportunity to get with Ms. Case.
Ideally, the Case joint would be Maow.
Rebuidling the Rights of Statues. Oh, and Faun Fables.
First of all, I'd rather do Bonham than Plant. Or would have rather. I'm not into necrophilia.
There is no one existing band I would have an orgy with in its entirety. However, should Tad Doyle, John Popper and Don Ross ever form a power trio, I'll turn groupie in an instant.
Easily, Athens' Je Suis France

I mean, his name is DARKNESS. totally sexable.
Prussian Blue.
Is that wrong?
If desiring hot, sweaty sex with Prussian Blue is wrong, I don't want to be right.
I'd bonk the god right outta Chris Sligh. Again!
The keeper.
I would say The Pleasure Seekers, but Suzi Quatro was only 14 at the time. I guess I would do them if I was 15 and not 43.
I have to jump on the Duran Duran bandwagon. Particularly during the Rio era. Mmmmmm, pretty.
I also have to add Adam and the Ants from the Kings of the Wild Frontier era. I would work my way through a whole lot of ugly to get my hands on Adam circa 1982. Oh, yes.
The Polyphonic Spree.
I'm totally kidding.
Could you imagine, though? Okay, maybe don't imagine it. But man. That'd be quite a workout.
mmmm wolf parade
Easiest question ever....................
Fugazi Fugazi Fugazi
If we had to dance before doing it, then Beck.
Of Montreal.
"Awesome," the band.
And I'd do Evan twice.
Girls Against Boys, pls. Circa whenever, those dudes haven't aged at bit.
future of the left.
I have to second Bikini Kill. There's nothing sexier than hot feminist fury.
Duh, Cat Power
The KEEPER
and the GO GO's
The Pipettes
Electrelane, they melt my damn heart.
Huggybear all the way. And then again.
Yeah, my first response was "what's wrong with Janet Weiss?"
You know, the Polyphonic Spree does nothing for me (musically or otherwise) but somehow the idea of Megan Seling in a massive gangbang with a freaky neoreligious rock choir is strangely arousing....
Go Like Hell (Alexi Void)
Tegan and Sara, my favoriet group atm.
Poney Up
The Pipettes
The Donnas probably
and Joel Plaskett
Locally, Amy Rockwell from The Catch. Charlotte Gainsbourg, The Pipettes, Feist.
Azure Ray.
CIBO MATTO "1999"
Yea, Cibo Matto. That's the one.
Ladytron.
and Ryan Adams just in case Parker Posey shows up.
oh, also, Bjork, despite my fear that Matthew Barney will show up.
that guitar player from pysch heros SSS has a cute butt. maybe him.
Franz Ferdinand and French Kicks. Cute boys playing good pop.
As soon as I read this, I immediately thought of Electrelane. It's such an obvious choice if you've seen them live...
korn. just ask jonathan davis' dad. ooooo ouch
R.E.M. Especially in 1984. More locally, I'll have to agree about "Awesome".
