There's really only one true head turner if
you're my age and you can all remember where
you were when Ed Sullivan said "The Beatles"....

Butthole Surfers was mentioned earlier but one of their albums has an even more ingenious name....

Hairway to Steven.

Classic.

That wins forever.

The last band I was in was called Panic Attack Theatre, I think that's a badass name.

Instrumental rock with the drummer soloing through every song. Was crazy hectic and intense.
