They Might Be Giants: GEEKS.
  • They Might Be Giants: GEEKS.
It's Geek Week in Questionland and while that means there is a lot of computer/cell phone/tech talk, there's also some geeky questions about music. Particularly, this one:

"What is the best geek album of all time? Define geek however you see fit."

A bunch of folks have already weighed in. Here is just a handful of albums and artists that have been nominated for the title:

"Jonathan Coulton, nerdcore hip-hop like MC Frontalot, Optimus Rhyme/Supercommuter, and chip tunes like Anamanaguchi or YMCK, or video game music like Minibosses."

"They Might Be Giants are super geeky."

"It's got to be Rush. I'm torn between Moving Pictures and Fly By Night. Moving Pictures might win because "Tom Sawyer" has great bass or lose because "Tom Sawyer" is (well, was) popularly known and popular conflicts with geeky."

"The first C-Average album sounds like a game of D&D."

"As far as sounding geeky or having a geek quality I'd have to go with Belong first as their walls of distortion appeal to the inner geek in me."

What do you think the best geek album is? Answer here!
