Tenacious D
 
Dave Ghrol called them the new Nirvana
An astute observer in a class of mine said they were the new Simon and Garfunkle
They proclaimed they wrote the greatest song in the world, only to later in the same song say it was only a tribute.

With their new CD "The Pick of Destiny" and songs like "Bealzzaboss" "Classico" "Dude I miss you" and the title track, Tenacious D might get another moniker that was once created for another group; "The only band that matters".

No band prior to them had blended the unlikely genres of folk/metal/classical into the same musical concoction. No band that has been as funny has played or sang as well with amazing songs to back up their humor. You can listen to a Weird Al song so many times before it becomes unfunny and irrelevent, but when the tenacious songs lose their humor they never fall short with the amazing composition.

To me, these days, there is rarely a band who can stack up. Tenacious D puts out one CD every couple of years and turns 90% of the other acts out there to dust. They are completly serious about their lack of seriousness, and when stacked up against the Jet's and 30 seconds to mars's theres no competition whatsoever.

The new Tenacious D album is awesome.

Can you up it Les Paul?

I love Tenacious D, I haven't listened to their old album in ages but boy it was great. They had melodies to complement gentle rooting, they created a song by plucking one string, and then Jack Black terrorises a Drive Thru.

I like what you said Big3, their biggest attribute in my opinion is being so far from serious it makes them a better act than most other bands. I can't wait to hear the new stuff.

okay so this is the tribute to the greatest band in the world and i must say i just love them love them love them
i think i made a thread on them like a year ago so yeah :)
what's so cool about them is that they're actin totally serious and they play the music so passionately no one could accuse them of only bein comedians and not artists all the way. it's just great. plus they're both very talented
can't wait for their new stuff

I really want to hear the new one, and I've been trying to get people together to go see the movie, which looks amazing, if I may say so myself
