Nominated by Anteater

The Residents


Without a doubt the most mysterious & avant-garde group of all time, The Residents have been doing weird, awesome music anonymously and consistantly from their beginnings in the late 60's to the present day.

Named as an influence by outfits such as They Might Be Giants, TISM, Mr. Bungle, Primus and Animal Collective, the band has put out 60+ albums worth of material, gone through seven major world tours and were among the earliest groups in existence to make their music accessible digitally.

Their sound has gone through a variety of evolutions in the last forty years, drawing in everything from nursery rhymes to progressive rock to ambient to synth pop to metal, etc, as well as types of music we don't have genre tags for.

In a nutshell, this is one of the coolest and most innovative bands in existence, and if anyone deserves a shot at the MB Hall Of Fame, it's this bunch.
