Wonder if roo2macca has stats on who has nommed the most variety and who has stuck to their faves.
I've tried to mix it up with different bands, I've nommed some of my favourite bands more than once like The Church, The Panics, Tool, The National, Stone Temple Pilots and Modest Mouse but no more than 2 or 3 times at the most.

I'm yet to nom my two favourite bands (mentioned them a million times here) but Rage(3) and Foo Fighters (2) have both made multiple appearances for me. Apart from that, a bit of diversity with Billy Joel, Ben Folds Five (another favourite), Roxette and Hunters and Collectors.

I don't but the fly's spreadsheet does. Most vary it around a bit but edgie has nommed AC/DC 20 times (less than expected) and LG has nommed them 9 times. Illinois Nazi has a knack of nomming Midnight Oil, Warumpi Band, Pink Floyd and R.E.M. Loonerty has nommed Arctic Monkeys 10 times, Marklar Faith No More 6 times and Arcade Fire 5 times for me. Otherwise, I like to mix it up.

I knew you nommed Arcade Fire this week. They disappoint me - Tenacious D promised they were the best ******* band in the world. Hence the billy. Sorry.

That's the second time you've Billied me in the short time you've been here. Is this another Smeg Head vs Hard Ball Get?

I spoke to someone at a party last month who hadn't heard of Beck. This surprised me. But I guess if you're not really into music, and maybe more importantly if you haven't seen the Futurama episode he's in, it's not that strange.

I dunno (or don't remember) the episode.
Fry gets a free Volkswagen microbus, excavated from the ruins of Old New York. He pushes it back to the Planet Express office, and has to fuel it with whale oil, which replaced gasoline. While opening a barrel of oil, Bender becomes caught by the opener's magnet and is horribly damaged.

Bender is rushed to a hospital, where the doctor informs him that he will never move again. He falls into a depression, but revives upon finding out that Beck's disembodied head is in the next bed, having checked in to get a mannequin body attached. Beck loans Bender a pair of neck-mounted robotic arms, which Bender uses to scrape across his mangled chest, and invites him to join Beck's tour as a washboard player.

Fry, Leela, Amy, and Dr. Zoidberg pile into Fry's microbus to follow Beck and Bender on tour. During a stop at a laundromat, their money is destroyed in a washing machine, forcing them to live in the vehicle and scavenge for food. However, Zoidberg begins to cough up beautiful blue pearls, which Leela and Amy string together to sell as necklaces. While on tour, Bender is insulted by the treatment of other broken robots and writes a song about them. Together with Beck, he decides to put on a benefit concert in San Francisco to help others like himself.

Fry and the crew catch up with Bender, who is relaxing in a San Francisco hotel. Bender miraculously regains the ability to move on his own, much to everyone's shock, but decides to fake being broken in order to keep his music career going. The concert goes on as planned, but when the time comes for Bender to perform his song, he cannot restrain himself and begins dancing around the stage. Having been found out, Bender runs off with the oversized benefit check in Fry's microbus.

Bender, pursued by an irate Beck, drives the microbus into the San Francisco Bay. Beck catches Bender and recovers the check, but forgives him since Bender has done so much for broken robots. The crew begins to row the microbus back to New New York, and Bender wades after them with a magnet stuck to his head so that he can have one last taste of being a folk singer.
