What is your favourite number of members in a Band?

[blamblam]

Any number, if there are 2 or more drummers. Girl drummers especially.

No, 2 drummers = compensating for total lack of originality.

Although band members may come and go, there must always be 3 at the core, fire, ice and lukewarm water.

Quite fascinating that 3 appears to be winning, I was sure it'd be 4.

Glenn Branca?

 

[strung out]

i voted '5', because - bizarrely!!! - '5' is the mean, mode and median of my previously-presented shortlist (and note that represents three different kinds of average)

Why just the exclamation marks in italic?

 

[belboid]

I was very probably gonna go four, but then

sorted

convinced me otherwise!

Glenn Branca?

good spot

 

[Termite Man]

3, 5 or 7. all prime, and according to 'ready, steady, cook' odd numbers are always preferable from a presentation standpoint

That is so last year It's 2 or 4 that are now preferable for presentation

 

[William of Walworth]

Sorry easy g, I I still don't understand your 'G' in the (big band?) ideal numbers diagram ...

Is it because I is ignorant??

I have no ideal number. Thus refuse to vote

If it's good, the number of peeps in the band is fairly irrelevant ...

If you have an ideal number, your taste in music is too narrow ....

Despite that opionated opinion, 3 is a very tempting** vote -- largely because of Jimi and the Jam ...

**which I'm not going to succumb to ...

So cutting the waffle its basically another vote for 3.

No. I'm not voting. Even if I wanted to.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

3!

Jimi, Snuff, Huskers, Visqueen, The Muffs, SSKHKH, The Sultans (J.Reis's last surviving band ) Galaxie 500, Young Gods, Shonen knife, Guitar Wolf, Perfect, Blind Idiot God, Dirty 3, Minutemen/Firehose, Sleater Kinney, Violent Femmes, The Jam, The Eyeliners and probably loads more I can't think of.

Respect to the Muffs and Guitar Wolf!!

The muffs proved that less is more when they dropped the second guitar.

Sadly Guitar wolf are now a duo (RIP Billy). Seji has said they will return with Guitar Wolf gen 2, but then he also said Billy had formed a band in heaven with Elvis and Joey Ramone.

 

[Bomber]

I not really fussy as long as I like the sound they make . however I voted for the hippy combo cause I do like a long Jam sesssion !

 

[bloodyhell]

One is usually more than enough.

But one.
