Big poll of bannish enthusiasm! (Plus bonus non-bandom question)

I've been curious about what people's bannish preferences are, and it's Friday, and I thought: Hey, why not a poll? For my friends who are muttering "dear God, here we go about bandom again," I have a special question just for you. :)

Also, I wanted to thank [livejournal.com profile] sanami276 for the icon I'm using. It's lovely and it makes me happy and thank you!

Hee. And well, one of the things I like best about bandom is the sheer variety involved. :)

The Dresden Dolls are one of my favorite bands; I first saw them at a science fiction convention in 2004 and promptly fell in love. I still like their first studio album best, though the subsequent ones are certainly worth listening to. Their website provides a pretty good idea of their aesthetic ("Brechtian punk cabaret," in their words). And, amusingly enough, their hilarious video for Backstabber was actually the first time I'd ever heard of Panic (it was shot while they were opening for Panic, and features the bands trying to murder each other). I spent awhile convinced that Panic! At the Disco couldn't possibly be an actual band because the name just seemed too ridiculous to be a real. Obviously, I was wrong.
