Let’s pick an official band for the IMHO, o.k.?
I nominate They Might Be Giants
Oooh, that’s hard to beat, but I cast my vote for Ben Folds Five. Good stuff all around.
I was all set to nominate TMBG. Then I saw the OP. So I guess this is a vote for them.
No, no…it should be the Rising Sons. In my humble opinion.
I just assumed this was another TMBG thread. So I suppose that’s another vote for the Johns.
Why is geek rock a genre we think of with this forum? Heck, let’s pick a genre for each forum…
About This Message Board - Marching Bands
Comments On Cecil’s Columns - Classical
Comments On Mailbag Answers - Techno
General Questions - Classic Rock
Great Debates - Thrash Metal
In My Humble Opinion - Geek Rock
MPSIMS - Punk
The BBQ Pit - Gangsta Rap
Of course, those are just my off-the-top-of-my-head possibilities…
If Geek Rock I must, I choose The Feelies if I am allowed to be esoteric, and eels if I am not.

I would nominate the Backstreet Boys, but I would have to say that 'NSync has a little more street cred, you know? Harder, edgier, DOWN with it, homies.
My vote is for TMBG. Four votes, so far. Woo Hoo!
I move that we flog Snooooopy (your O key got stuck, bro? :D) for daring to suggest that we use either the Backstreet Boys or N’Sync. (Just kiddin’ with you there, pal).
I have no qualms with TMBG, as long as they perform the faster version of “Particle Man”.
Sounds great.
For MPSIMS: Satanic Surfers
For The BBQ Pit: The Geto Boys and NWA
My favourite band and rap groups. I know, I know, not favourites of everyone, but they’ve got my votes.
The Feelies? There’s a blast from the past.
Crazy Rhythms is a classic album.
I second that nomination.
I also nominate the Ramones, I think that they fight ignorance from the inside…
I’m going to have to go with the Dead Kennedys. I suppose they would be great for MPSIMS or even Great Debates, if the mainstream crowd is desperate to elect TMBG.
MR
Barry Manilow. EVERYBODY’S got an opinion about Barry Manilow.
Add another vote from me for TMBG, but may I also nominate the Dead Milkmen, and, for our Canadian posters, Shadowy Men from a Shadowy Planet?
I’ll also nominate Man… Or Astroman? even though they are more surf than geek. I still think they work here.

One more vote for TMGB.
I think, IMHO, that TMBG is the way to go. 5 vote, and climbing.
I have to agree with irish bill and vote for the Ramones. Yah.
Count me as vote #7 for TMBG. Starting to look like a landslide… 
I hate landslides.
The Ramones- they fight ignorance from the inside.
A band and a slogan. Perfect.
