Talk:Other Bands You Might Like If You Like TMBG

From This Might Be A Wiki

I don't like either band enough to go digging for URLs myself, but I'm surprised that there's no links yet for the Rentals or REM.

The band 10¢ is listed on allmusic.com (as "10 cents"), but I don't know how much about the site, so I don't know if there's a way to get a static URL that will always point to that particular band's page, so hopefully someone smarter than me can provide a link.

A glaring omission: Jonathan Richman.

How about The Minus 5? Their first album was only available through the They Might Be Giants mailing list....

I'm pretty sure fans of They Might Be Giants would greatly appreciate Robyn Hitchcock. --Overjoy 06:18, 29 January 2010 (UTC)


I don't really see why the wiki would need to include a caution that some songs by artists linked on this may contain explicit or adult-themed lyrics that would be inappropriate for children. I mean, we don't censor in any way songs with cussing or reference to inappropriate subjects in TMBG songs, so what reason is there to say that a few of the other bands listed have the possibility of having a song with a grown-up theme or profanity? ~ Magbatz 17:18, 27 Mar 2006 (CST)

I totally agree with you...check the history of this discussion page to see the reason it's here. -CapitalQ ♫ talk ♪ 19:15, 27 Mar 2006 (CST)

I think it would be a good idea to make a rating system for the bands similar to the one on the "Mysterious Next Album" page...this way, if a particular band had a lot of + marks, they might be more likely to be appreciated by a TMBG fan. What does everyone think? --Martorano

I think you might be blind. ;) -CapitalQ ♫ talk ♪ 21:41, 1 May 2006 (CDT)

I'd blame my cold and the Nyquil I'm high on...but would anyone believe me? Oh my god. --Martorano

Why was like half the content of this page deleted? I don't want to miss great acts like the REM, Beck or Ween on this list, all of which I would indeed recommend to fans of TMBG. Should this be reverted or did I miss something? - Whirrrlwind (Woosh!) 18:24, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure...you know...this brings up a good point though. What's the difference between this page and the Recommendation Grid? I think we should combine those two pages, and then let people make up their own minds. --Duke33 19:29, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
Best thing would be a table of some sorts. But I'm no good coder. I'll give it a shot though. - Whirrrlwind (Woosh!) 19:32, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
I'll finish tomorrow. I have to go to bed now. Poor me. - Whirrrlwind (Woosh!) 21:12, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Organization

How about organizing by votes instead of pseudo-aphabetically? It would make more sense, and would provide the wanted info faster (what would I want if I came to this page?) 71.113.47.254 04:07, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

That is possible! Just click on the 'Votes' heading. -J2

[edit] Updating the style?

I was about to get rid of the border and make the header light orange, but then I realized that that could potentially suck. Reasons: This is not the only skin! Nonetheless, I think we should ditch the ugly border anyway. Any ideas how? (I already tried border-style=solid.)-J2
