the other guys

Filed under: — cwage @ 7:22 am

I have this great idea for a concept super-band that would be composed entirely of "the other guy" from popular Duos -- you know, the less-talented member of the duo you've never heard of unless their name was literally in the band name. Some starter suggestions:

  • John Oates
  • Curt Smith
  • Andrew Ridgely
  • Art Garfunkle

It'd be easy to joke about how it'd be the worst band ever, but if you think about it, years of toiling behind the scenes of a more talented egomaniacal partner would mean they are primed for collaboration on a massive scale -- leading, possibly, to the greatest rock band of all time!

Who else?

    There actually is a band called Garfunkel and Oates.

  • Brita

    This is either the dumbest idea ever or brilliant. I'm not sure which

    As usual, my best ideas have already been done. Sigh. Well, back to the drawing board..
