The If-Only Top 10

For those who do not hear have the horrifying experience of knowing me in day-to-day life, it's important to know that I am constantly adding things to an eternally large list of Life Goals, most of which are ridiculous ambitions that will never grace any other list of ordinary successful achievements. Many times, when I add to this list, it is an idea for a band that I dream of participating in (who doesn't). Usually these bands follow some extreme theme or niche. The following list is my Top 10 (oh yes, there are much more than that) of these bands that I would like to see the light of day
In no particular order:

Eggplant Souffle - improv. windmill arms and throat. it is best described in demonstration
Debut Single - well, it's an improv band, so hard to say

Oi Punk - oi-punk with almost completely nonsensical lyrics (but with just enough sense to make you wonder if they're geniuses or just stoned)
Debut Single - "Oi!"

Metal - strictly a cover band, destroying, in metal style, the favorite songs of our pastime. The more deadly serious, the better
Debut Single - "Mary Had a Little Lamb"

Ska - unimaginably upbeat and uptempo ska and some swing
Debut Single - "Pick It the Hell Up!"

CornerTwitch - simplistic and minimalistic music, with lyrics taken straight from Corey's spam inbox, done completely straight
Debut Single - "She'll Babel About Your Tower"

Surf - ranging from surf-punk to the relaxing sounds of tiki, rarely with vocals. Shoes optional.
Debut Single - "Infraromp (cover)"

Hardcore - unforgiving straightedge hardcore. hard, fast, and to the point.
Debut Single - "X's On Your O's"

Nerdcore - nerdcore rap, simple beats and dark synths, rapping about nerd culture, done completely straight.
Debut Single - "Can't Touch D's 20s"

Silent - using 4'33" as an inspiration, this band would simply consist of luring audiences into thinking they were going to receive an epic performance, only to experience songs of complete silence (or, rather, the sounds of the environment all around them)
Debut Single - "Symphonic Ambience No. 35"

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes Cover - band covering songs all done by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes....which yes, would make this a cover band of a cover band. Songs and spirit would be taken for inspiration.
Debut Single - "Hello"

So........who's game? ;)
