My current favorite is the Sea Lions. Their 2011 debut album is actually quite good.



BUT, the Feelies should receive a lifetime achievement award for geek chic. The album photo to their 1980 album Crazy Rhythms should be framed and hung in the Museum of Modern Art.

Post your a picture of your favorite geeky band on this thread!

Can we agree that hipster bands don't count? You don't count as "geeky" if you're just a tool following a trend.

Do fictional bands from kinda-sorta bad '80's movies count? If not I've got squat.

Come on now... the ruling kings of geek are Devo. Everyone knows that.

What are you going to do about it, leave your Warhammer 40k models on the carpet for me to trod on while I'm walking around barefoot?

I agree with Devo, also think They Might Be Giants are pretty geeky looking too.

In my defense I've never played Warhammer in my life, and until a week ago had never even picked a Warhammer novel. I will however leave my Matchbox car collection in front of your bedroom door in the middle of the night.

You think I'd endanger my precious LEGO's like that?! You, sir, are no gentleman.
