Krishna gets all the press, and even has a religion named after him. but surely some of the other avatars must be just as good. Sadly, though, I can't remember any of their names. Apart from Caitanya, but I don't know anything about him.

can you help?

S: narasimha (the black metal incarnation of vishnu: he was a man-lion!!) and kalki (the death metal incarnation of vishnu: the tenth avatar that has yet to appear!!) also rama was cool but he is the obv canonical rockist choice

most indie avatar: varaha the boar

Destroy: Will Smith (as Bagger Vance).

Um.

I could answer this in some hoary boring detail, but it would be 'nother too-long post, and really, where are all these recent questions coming from? :)

[destroy: buddha, since he's a revisionist avatar, not an "original" search: matsya, since it's a direct correlation to biblical flood/Noah epics and fits into the Atlantis theories nicely...and hello
???? horned fish are cool!@@]

The Ramayana is great (any religion with giant monkey-gods with swords is all right with me), so I'm going for Rama.
