Vote for your favorite band whose name is of the form [word] "of" [word]

Message Bookmarked

Note that band names that merely INCLUDE an "of" do not necessarily qualify. I considered but rejected both "Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black" and "...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead." "Of Montreal" is in a class by itself and gets a special award.

Oops; not thinking (re gang of four which I agree is really quite a large omission).

Not that anyone cares, but the catalyst was that because of the nerd bands thread I was thinking of Fountains of Wayne and Archers of Loaf and my head went from there.
