Haven't thought about them in decades.

Where do you keep on coming up with these bands I have never heard of.

I saw them live after they got back together in the late 70's. Fantastic.

Have so many people really never heard of them?

I had no idea they put out so many LPs. And I've never heard an entire one yet.

Never heard of them or the Artic Monkeys etc. Guess I'm music challenged.

Never heard of them at all (and at least I have heard of the Arctic Monkeys).

I prefer Sibelius myself and find nearly all rock (I assume they are rock) dismally unmusical and tedious.

They're not a band,but a comedy troupe. Famous for their groundbreaking LP's,parodying everything from old movies,to TV ads and programs,to stereo demonstration records (remember them?).

But they also ventured into film. Here's a clip:

My favorite album sleeve is definitely "All Hail Lennon and Marx". (Or was it Lenin and Marx?) The obvious puns needed to be made!

Since "Dwarf" is ahead, I thought I'd post a pretty good video somebody did of part of "High School Madness":

I still can't believe how many of you guys never heard of them. Jeez.
