Bands as Food

[BUTT]

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. No essential album, but so many essential singles.

Tom Petty is the musical equivalent of whole wheat toast with no butter, jam, or whatever else you'd put on it to save it from being the most boring food ever.

EDIT: But if you like him, that's fine. Me not enjoying his music is NOT trolling.

BTW, New Order is a good contender for this.

I'd say white toast with strawberry jam, myself.

 

[Agent of Oblivion]

No, if Tom Petty were a breakfast food, he'd be scrambled eggs with no salt or pepper. White toast with strawberry jam is Peter Frampton, and dry wheat toast is Bachman-Turner Overdrive.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

More bands as breakfast foods analogies please.

Scrambled eggs still have enough of a taste on their own to not make this quite accurate. Make it Egg Beaters and I'll agree.

I like to make my scrambled eggs with a little bit of mozzarella and some cayenne pepper. I think this describes early electric Bob Dylan.

 

[Agent of Oblivion]

No way, Dylan is pancakes. Familiar, filling, can vary between savory or sweet.

 

[KOAB]

Waffles?

Also who be the bacon? A little bacon makes everything better.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

Slipknot is an Egg McMuffin: processed for easy consumption and, once in a while, you get a bit of a craving for it, but then you taste it and immediately remember why you don't get them more than once a year.

Nickelback is a stack of Belgian waffles covered with tar and expired mayonnaise.

Brian Eno

Nickelback is a stack of Belgian waffles covered with tar and expired mayonnaise.

That dish still has a core of goodness beneath the rancid accoutrements. Nickelback is bad all the way down.

 

[KOAB]

french toast

this is nickelback

Brian Eno

 

[Byron The Bulb]

Kanye West is one of those omelets that's stuffed with like eight different ingredients and topped with fresh salsa. Sounds like the best thing ever when you order it, but by the end of the meal you start feeling a little gross and begin to dread the inevitable indigestion that is sure to ruin the rest of your day.

 

[Byron The Bulb]

Waffles?

Bruch Springsteen is waffles. John Mellencamp is Eggos.

 

[Byron The Bulb]

Katy Perry is a pop tart

 

[KOAB]

pop tarts are my favorite. pop tarts and a side of bacon

 

[Byron The Bulb]

Katy Perry produced by Brian Eno

 

[KOAB]

my teenage dream

 

[Czech]

As the self-styled resident Eno fanatic--and it just so happens I'm listening to Thursday Afternoon--I can't get on board with Eno as bacon. Bacon is protein. Brian Eno is the opposite of protein. I wouldn't say he's syrup, for obvious reasons. Syrup can only be Michel Legrand. Maybe Brian Eno isn't food at all. Perhaps Brian Eno is the oven. Deeeeeeeep.

 

[Mattdotcom]

What is Talking Heads and, by proxy of Brian Eno existing as the oven now, what specifically, if you will pardon the expression, is David Byrne?

 

[Mattdotcom]

Okay, Talking Heads is an entire succulent pig in which Tina Weymouth, Jerry Harrison, and Chris Frantz are like sausage and pork chops and tenderloins and David Byrne is definitely bacon and when they're joined by someone like Steve Scales, Bernie Worrell, or Adrian Belew, they're the rest of the delicious parts of a pig. So Stop Making Sense or the Brazil concert that's on YouTube are a whole roasted pig and the movie True Stories is pork rinds.

 

[Byron The Bulb]

Talking Heads are buildings, not food.

 

[Mattdotcom]

I know, but come on I ironically burned my own lunch making that post so don't write me off like that bruh

 

[KOAB]

[BurningPirateShipSex]

Please describe the following bands/ artists using culinary metaphors:

1. U2

2. The Clash

3. Guns n Roses

4. ODB

5. Biggie

 

[KOAB]

Biggie is like the finest fast food burger you could have.

 

[Red Baron]

And Puff Daddy is the vanilla milkshake.

 

[Perfxion]

Jay-Z is a T-Bone. There are better cuts out there, but the hype the and legend have over shadowed the meal.

ODB, is like pop rocks. Really good but you get small doses of it, and you always want more. But trying to over do it leaves you a little unfulfilled.

Guns and Roses are like a Sundae, Axel might be the ice cream in the middle. You can make it a million ways but its best taste is the original style you grew up on. Not the strawberry and kiwis that got switched into the place of the chocolate and bananas.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

U2 is like an extravagant, well made vegan meal. Sure, it can kind of taste good and it makes you feel good for eating such an "ethically/environmentally" conscious and responsible meal but at the end of it, you're still kind of hungry, you still hate hippies, and you wish they had thrown in some chicken or something in there.
