Prompted by misreading the "Fastest band ever" thread title...

Anyone care to take on Poison Idea for the crown?

Once upon a time, it was Blues Traveler.

I was going to mention the Shaggs, but I just took a quick look at the album cover and the Wiggin sisters were not quite as hefty as I remembered. So, we'll say the Minutemen, just for D. Boon.

Crowbar immediately came to my mind as well.

Mountain!

I think the Booyas get it, but I'll nominate Bachman Turner Overdrive 'cause I remember someone once referring to them as Bachman Turner Overweight.

oops,never noticed the post above....so i'll go with flo and eddie.

There was a metal band called Mammoth, which the major selling point was that they were all of Mammoth proportions.

Chubby Checker and the Fat Boys!

Romeo Void, because of Debora Iyall.

TAD

Did anyone see The Weathergirls on TOTP2 today? Blimey!

― jamesmichaelward, Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

as the intiator of the 'fastest...' thread i would have to say

TAD

Ultrasound, surely

― electric sound of jim, Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Most of the guys in Crowbar are as big or bigger than Tad. And a lot cooler. They make "Dream Weaver" good.

Actually only the guitarist and the singer of Poison Idea were really large. One of their bassists was a skinny 15 year old kid. Still legend has it that Poison Idea were unable to do a lot of nation-wide tours of the US, because most club stages could not support their weight. Probably not true but I remember being really impressed when I heard it.

― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'd say Heart but the one sister (the one married to Cameron Crowe) got skinny again.

― Dave Beckhouse, Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Has to be the Weathergirls.

― Judd Nelson, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Did anyone see The Weathergirls on TOTP2 today?
Yeah. Then we were all transported to a Bad Acid Trip to Geisha Hell with Toyah.

― Nathalie, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Jim Morrison, just because he got so fat so quickly.

― Johnathan, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dude, none of these bands are even close to Poison Idea. Jerry A and Pig Champion look like those two motorcycle dudes in the Guinness Book of World Records.

― Kris, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Heavy D was pretty big, too, but I guess he's not a band.

― nickn, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

the beach boys.

― doglatin, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Jesus... no mentions of Fat Joe or Big Pun?

Los Lobos.

Once upon a time, it was Blues Traveler.
By the same logic, Wilson Phillips are out of the running.

― Steph (Steph), Monday, 14 October 2002 07:15 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm waiting for the 300+ lb. hip-hop scene to take off... We got Joe and Pun breaking the ground, now we need the army. There really needs to be a glutton war.

― donut bitch (donut), Monday, 14 October 2002 18:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Tenacious D?

― j.lu (j.lu), Monday, 14 October 2002 19:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Tom Jones...

― Bob Taylor, Thursday, 16 January 2003 18:05 (twenty-three years ago)

is it Weather Girls?
you know, the "It's Raining Men" ladies. They are buxom to say the least, and god bless 'em for that.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 16 January 2003 18:25 (twenty-three years ago)

God, I remember taping Disorderlies when it was on HBO like 15 years ago.
