If you could identify each poster on this board with only ONE band, who would it be?

The catch: It cannot be their own (or their spouse's).

For instance, I would go:

Frostingspoon: Kate Bush
konstantinl: Orange Juice
robotboy: Guided By Voices
Charli: Wilco
Spade Kitty: David Bowie
Billy G: Caetano Veloso
FT: Spoon
dridiculous: Radiohead
Spontaneous Poet: matchbox 20
timmyjoe: Collective Soul
LOOGAR: Rolling Stones
Radcliffe: Nick Lowe
Prince Of Darkness: Beatles
OPA!: Le tigre
Haq: Elliott Smith

etc.
etc.

This will either sink or swim.

Here are the Top 35 posters for you (by total posts):
Elvis Fu
Au'Tannybaum
Sen.LooGAR'sCrunkmas
Sweet Talking Spoon Song
cotton
Yule Bloor
Joseph P. Crack
Dalen
shiv
Gar Stocking Stuffinnvold
Sketchristmas
SweetSweetDruganaut
HaqDiesel
Dusty Chalk
mfd
timmysnow42
Cap'n Squirrgle
OPA!
robotboy
dridiculous
Noelzebub
Flacidwoody Dude
konstantinl
Radcliffe
PopTodd Thumb
FT®
splates
paladisiac
SpontaneousPoet
elephantstone
Prince of Darkness
DumpJack
Max Presents
me and willie mcgee
contradiction

These are easy--

Sen.LooGAR'sCrunkmas: Stones
Yule Bloor: Stones
FT®: Spoon
SweetSweetDruganaut: Afghan Whigs

Um. With the 28934739 name changes, I kinda forget who the others are and I guess I need to start paying attention more. Oops.

Haq- is it Elliott Smith? I think so. Or am I wrong.

are we just naming their favorite bands, or are we really trying to find an analogue in the music realm for their personality?

I was actually thinking the one band you most closely associate with each of us.

And feel free to extend beyond the Top 35.
I just didn't have time to keep copying, pasting, and editing out all the crap from the list.

The analogy being,
"When I think of (poster) I think of (first band that comes to mind)."

yes
see, i think that we're underperforming. It's far more interesting to provide some justification for our choices. Par example, you favorite band is probably shrimp boat or something, but i don't know anything about them. I do know that you're jewish, a guitar player with a flair for the hammond organ and some powerpop, and there's a small bit of your brain missing. What band conjours up that image? this is like finding the right hallmark card, much more difficult.

KonstantinL- Orange Juice
Charli- Joseph Arthur
FT- John Vanderslice
Sketch- Tool
Spade Kitty- Yes
King of Carrot Flowers or whatever he is today- Circlesquare
dr winston o'boogie- Caetano Veloso
frostingspoon- Kate Bush
SpontaneousPoet- Matchbox 20
timmyjoe42- Collective Soul
DMB04- Self
PopTodd- Shrimp Boat
