[Brian]

Voting ends in 5 days.

ACK! They can't go against each other immediately! They cancel each other out! They're both the ultimate in Geek Rock, with Nerf Herder.

WHY GOD WHY?

Barenaked Ladies. Dammit.

[Cogito]

Bens Folds Five, uh I ain't never heard of em. I've heard of Barenakeds mind you, but can't even remember a song of theirs. For all the ranting I did in the other polls, I'll just admit ignorance on this one.

Ladies is a pretty recent bands though? I guess I'm a little surprised to see such new bands along with heavyweights like Beatles, Floyd, Hendrix and The Doors...

No vote on my part; I wouldn't know.

BNL is probably what Nate... 10 years old?

They are a Canadian band... and the ultimate in geek entertainment.

Love them. Just wonderful.

Ben Folds... they had one good song er somethin right?

Come on, BNL. They've never put out a bad album.

Every word is gold.

They even sing songs about buying a monkey and eating Kraft dinner.

You have to vote for them! you must.

[The Reel Yapper]

I'm going to hit you for your blaspheme against Ben Folds Five. They have never, ever released a song I didn't adore.

BNL on the other hand, have Maroon, which (except for a few good ones) is mostly awful and boring.

[Brian]

Granted, Maroon is a pretty bad CD, but I havn't heard a lot of Bens Fold Five. Being Canadian, I've heard most of BNL's music and they are pretty good.

[Josh]

Even on Maroon though there's some decent stuff...

Plus, BNL is just amazing live.

[Bluntchop]

Never heard of Ben Folds Five so the naked one's got my vote.

[Into]

Even though this poll is closed and I didn't get a chance to vote, I'm going to still have to put my two cents in for Ben Folds. I never really liked the BNL much, they were ok.

[Phantasm]

I agree... the Ben Folds Five are awesome.
