If you have a wiki of your own that you think should be included, message [bungalowbill] or leave a comment!
Aquabats, The
(Tell your Mom, tell your Dad, these guys... are super rad.)
http://www.theaquabats.com/(Official site. Great. Lots of content, stylish, good load times. Even some downloadable rarities for you guys!)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Aquabats (Once again, like the Brittish Knight, the wikipedia comes to the rescue. Great resource, which includes, the band members {Past and present}, the band's mythology {including all the villians}, information on the Aquacadets, and even external links!)
Beatles, The
(Only about the greatest band ever)
Beatles appreciation society(my favouritest of all the Beatles wikis I've visited so far. Large, networked, well attended.)
Beatles(Decent. Rather small and poorly attended though. Its got a lot of
potential I just don't think its motivated.)
Beatlemania reborn(Run by the ever precocious [
.the plastic emo.] who is consistantly whoring it wherever she goes. Nevertheless, it's exciting to watch it grow, and looks like it's well on the way to becoming an excellent wiki.)
Beatles Coloring Book Pages(exactly what it sounds like. 3 pages out of a vintage coloring book. Those three pages are pretty sweet though.)
http://www.iamthebeatles.com/ (Lots of good content, poorly put together)
http://www.geocities.com/~beatleboy1/db.menu.html (Interview database. Neat.)
DiFranco, Ani
(Righteous babe. Very cool music, if a bit angsty.)
"Ani has broken just about every rule of the music industry." - Harmony Ridge Music
"She has changed the decade's musical landscape". - Rolling Stone
http://www.righteousbabe.com/
http://www.intelligirldesign.com/aniring/index.html (Apparently, there are a lack of decent Ani sites. Here is a reasonably passable webring.)
Doors, The
(Great band. Lots of songs. Lots of
tracks (which cannot be considered songs because they are all talking).
http://www.thedoors.com/ (Official site. Decent, but not great. Includes member bios, discography, the usual.)
http://www.doors.com/ (The "Doors Collectors Magazine" website. Seems like an interesting publication...)
Dr. Demento
(This chap has been around for quite some time, hosting his radio shows. His big discovery was, of course, Weird Al, but his other songs are equally funny.
Cows With Guns, Fish Heads, and
They're Coming to Take Me Away come to mind.
http://www.drdemento.com/ (If this is the official site, I'm not impressed)
http://www.thedoctordementoshow.com/ (This is better. I think, with a little work, that you can access all Dr, Demento's radio shows. Plus there's news on the man himself, and some other goodies.)
Flogging Molly
(Irish punk, the next in a long line. Well, a moderate line. Also see the link for [
The Pogues] who came first.)
http://www.floggingmolly.com/
http://www.rebelsarewe.com/ (this one is really cool, but doesn't always get updated often)
Grandaddy
(I had not heard of Grandaddy. Apparently, though, it's flying around the internet like so much popcorn in a reactor.)
http://www.grandaddylandscape.com/(The main site. Flashy. Frustratingly long load times.)
http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/users/02/pasc/grandaddy/main.html(A fansite, good info, pictures, etc. ANd shorter load times, which is a plus.)
Green Day
(Who
doesn't know Green Day nowadays? They've come a long way since the days of "Sweet Children" and their first recorded EP, "1000 Hours", as seniors in Highschool.)
http://www.greenday.com/greenday.html (Official site. Good source of info and music videos)
http://www.greendayauthority.com/index.shtml (
Great Green Day source, almost intimidating how much information there is.)
Harrison, George
(At their first session, when the Beatles were asked by George Martin if there wasn't anything they didn't like, George replied: "Well, I don't like your tie for a start.")
http://www.georgeharrison.com/ (The Official site. Pretty good, all things considered.)
http://www.beatlesagain.com/bgeorge.html (Pretty good biography)
Kansas
(80s supergroup! Some good stuff. I, however, am
not dust in the wind.)
http://www.kansasband.com/ (The official website. Kind of silly, really.)
http://www.kansasfans.com/ (Um... decent. That's about all. There appear to be a lack of really good Kansas sites, too.)
Lennon, John
(Ah, John Lennon. I love the beatles, I truly do, but you always struck me as just a tiny bit of a prick. Nevertheless, loving the music.)
http://www.legend-johnlennon.com/index_e.html(Reasonably good site. Good content. Poorly put together.)
http://www.john-lennon.com/(I like this one. It has a little conspiracy theory edge to it.)
Oasis
(I must be honest here, I've never, really, actually,
listened to Oasis to the best of my knowledge. The initial lyric was brought to my attention by [
Wallstring])
‘‘If somebody said to me, in twelve years you’ll be in a band with your brother and two carrot munching geezers who don’t like football I would have said fuck off, I’m not joining the Bee Gees.’’ - Noel
http://www.oasisinet.com/site.php (The official site)
http://www.musicolympus.com/oasis/ (Looks like a pretty good fansite)
O'Brien, Richard
(Writer and composer of, among other things, the cult classic "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". Coincidentally
, he played "Riff Raff" as well.)
http://www.robcrusade.com/index.html(A fansite. Poorly put together, but a fair amount of good stuff, if you're willing to look.)
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0639782/(IMDB. Need I say more?)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_O'Brien(Not so much Richard info as lots of little ways to explore info vaguely related to him. Good if you like to wander.)
Pink Floyd
(Pink Floyd is really cool. Of course, you must be in a Floyd-y mood. They turned the rock world on its head. I think it's still a bit dizzy.)
http://www.pinkfloyd.com/ (I put this on here with mixed feelings. I guess it's the official site (certainly has the most hits on Google) but it... well, it's terrible.)
http://www.pinkfloyd.net/(This is a bit more like it. Simple but informative fansite.)
http://www.pinkfloyd-co.com/mast_idx.html(Claims to be The largest Pink Floyd site in the world. A touch pretentious, perhaps, but good content. I like the "This day in Pink Floyd history" Box.)
Pogues, The
(As I mentioned, the Pogues were earlier Irish punk. Arriving on the scene in the mid 80s, they certainly date bands like Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys.)
http://directory.google.com/Top/Arts/Music/Bands_and_Artists/P/Pogues/(This is something I'd not seen before... a Google artist directory. Hmm. Some worthwhile links here.)
http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/pogues/bio.jhtml(The VH1 bio. Pretty good background information, with lots of content links.)
Rage Against The Machine
(Rage is one of those up and coming bands, unless of course they've already up and came. Nevertheless, the released their self titled album within a year of their first public performance "In somebody's living room." They are to be commended for their activism. It seems that they are always protesting something.)
http://www.ratm.com/(The official site. I would have rated it merely "eh" before I started this links page, but now I realize that it's pretty good all things considered.)
http://www.musicfanclubs.org/rage/central.html(Simple and elegant fan site. Okay, well, not so elegant. Worth a look though.)
Rivers, Johnny
(Well this dates me a bit, doesn't it? Yes, I grew up, and continue to thrive on "oldies." Mr. Rivers was a pretty influential guy back then, and played a kind of rock/blues fusion. Now, though, he kind of looks like a goof. But we won't hold it against him.)
http://www.johnnyrivers.com/main.html(The official site, titled, interestingly enough, "Secret Agent Man- Johnny Rivers." A little corny, but good overall.)
http://www.classicbands.com/rivers.html(Just a quick little bio, but interesting. Did you know his real name was John Ramistella?)
http://www.amiright.com/misheard/artist/riversjohnny.shtml(A pretty face can't hide, and even mine. I love misheard lyrics. Feel free to search around with some of your other favourite bands. It's amazing what some people purportedly heard. "Secret Agent Man" has been mistaken for "Freakin' Agent Man," "Secret Asian" or "Sacred Asian Man," "Screaming Asian Man," and finally, "Secret Aging Man.")

Stumble!
