Readers’ Rock List: Animal Bands

3/16/09, 6:07 pm EST


Rock Daily is amped to be hitting the SXSW festival later this week, where we’ll surely be encountering dozens of bands named after animals. So we dedicated the Weekend Rock List to all the Animal Bands that looked to wildlife for inspiration. To avoid a landslide, bugs — and thus the Beatles — were banned. With the Fab Four out, our readers voted Animal Collective as the king of the rock jungle, thanks to their new Merriweather Post Pavilion. The Collective edged out Eagles, Animals and many more furry and feathered bands. To see if your favorite Animal Band made it, check the Readers’ List below:

1. Animal Collective
2. Eagles
3. The Animals
4. Fleet Foxes
5. Grizzly Bear
6. Modest Mouse
7. Super Furry Animals
8. Cat Power
9. Panda Bear
10. Wolfmother
11. The Monkees
12. Def Leppard
13. Steppenwolf
14. Wolf Parade
15. Phish
16. The Byrds
17. Gorillaz
18. The Turtles
19. The Yardbirds
20. Dr. Dog

What about extinct animals? If allowed I suggest Dinosaur Jr. and T.Rex.

Thom | 3/16/2009, 7:11 pm EST

have you heard of THE BEATLES??!!!

Hey, Thom. Calm down. If you had read the blurb above, you may have noticed why The Beatles were disallowed from the list.

Dude Man | 3/16/2009, 9:10 pm EST

Well, at least four of the bands I mentioned made the list.

David | 3/16/2009, 9:28 pm EST

i guess he was kind of included, but what about panda bear?

Christopher Borgelt | 3/16/2009, 9:30 pm EST

The Black Crowes
Arctic Monkeys

Can I just say that I thought that this list was pretty weak? The debut albums list last week kicked all kinds of ass, but this one was pretty lame. Don’t get me wrong, Animal Collective is fine, but it would have been nice to have a more solid list. Animal Songs would have probably been a better list.

Alanp. | 3/17/2009, 5:04 am EST
