I mentioned on another thread recently who my favourite band were, and got me wondering what kind of bands other people would feel the same way about. (I'm sure it's been asked before, but I didn't find it when I searched)

I have a very eclectic taste in music, and the band that just tips it for me is quite a strange choice, that not too many (if any) people would agree on. For me, Dr Hook and the medicine Show, were the complete package.

Typical of the time, they were all about two things. Being off their faces, and having a blast making music. A lot of the time their music was poor, because they were just so fucked, literally dropping things and falling over, but it didn't matter, you could see how much fun they were having, and they never fail to put a smile on my face.

I'm never sure exactly what impact they have had on people in general. I'm fairly sure there will be a lot of people who, if they even bother to reply to this thread, will do so just to say how pony they were. But how aware of them are people in general? Do people under 40 even know who they are? Anyway, I'll admit they're not going to be every bodies cup of tea, but for some reason they just embody that era in the past were, musicians just got fucked and had fun making music.

One of there biggest hits.



One of my favourite songs of all time. How fucked must you be to find that so funny??



One of their shows they could hardly stand up at!



Finally one of their many, many nonsense songs.



Like I said before, I know i'm in a small minority of people who would vote this as the best band of all time, so tell us who gets your vote and why.
