nice calls on TMBG and Claypool Lennon....concur 100%.  No love for Weird Al, though?  Come on...no one like him, and the musicianship is beyond compare, except possibly Steely Dan.

 

 

oh and GWAR

I wanted to add a name to the list that may or may not have been mentioned. But a guitar-drum 2 piece band is quite rare (I Think) and noone does it better than the White Stripes.

 

Who were a husband/wife duo back in  the day. Since divorced.

 

Unique in their presentation AND focus on red and white in wardrobe, instruments etc also unique.

Completely agree with the Tubes. 
 

I haven’t really found another band that sounds like the tubes. The live album is easily one of my favorite live albums.

Hahah!! The world can only handle one Jimbo, and that one is me! (also it ends in Y)
 

I also love  the sound of that live lp playing on a record player. Might be a little old, and a little scratched, but my dad giving me his Tubes album made my weekend.
