Nerdalicious
 

What are your nerdiest bands/songs and why?

For instance Apples in Stereo made up a new scale based on natural logarithms.

I guess Kate Bush kind of qualifies for writing a song about Wuthering Heights.

What else can you think of?

Disclaimer: err, according to wikipedia nerdcore is an actual genre. The thread title was merely a joke genre and was not intended to refer to the hip hop(?) sub genre.

Just to round a few off;

Kraftwerk
Rush
Cibo Matto
Weezer
OK Go
Werid Al
Tom Dolby
Devo


and of course...

Sorry but ...
And how are Rush nerdcore in any way?

Doesn't specifically say Nerdcore


As far as 'nerdy' bands go, Rush's spacey, indulgent lyrics fit the bill

Yeah, see disclaimer. I used the term nerdcore before I realised it was (apparently) already a thing.

Yeah I was going by the thread title. Honestly, if you're going to use spacey nerdy lyrics as a criterion then you're gonna have Hawkwind, Gong and a thousand other space/prog/psych rock bands in there, aren't you?

I guess I'm kind of finding it hard to pin down exactly what constitutes a "nerdy" band?

Talking Heads
Primus
Wipers
Thermals
Shellac
Mission of Burma
Joyce Manor
Jeff Rosenstock
Japandroids
Flipper
Parquet Courts
Wire
Crying

Nerdiest? Flashlight Brown - Ready to Roll




Nerdcore? MC Lars - Download This Song

I love that. :laughing:

For me, probably Barenaked Ladies. They did the Big Bang Theory theme song, for crying out loud.

The first thing that comes to mind when I think of 'nerdcore'
