Bands Named After Meat

Posted Tue Feb 26, 2008 6:04pm PST by Robert of the Radish in The Y! Music Playlist Blog

Could you imagine a compilation like this showing up on a late night infomercial? No, me neither. But this is one of the beautiful things about this new digital world we live in. A playlist of songs by bands named after meat is not something that would have ever been created, manufactured and promoted before digital music distribution. And marketing and distributing a compilation album used to take serious money. Today it only takes a few minutes, an idea and a subscription music service.

We all know there are some weird band names out there. And this playlist falls into the "weird band name" category, but concentrates on bands who share a name with a cut of meat. While most are beef-specific, some are more generic and puzzling like the Meat Puppets.

Other meatalicious artists include T-Bone Walker, Meat Loaf, Swinging Steaks, Red Red Meat, Scotty And The Rib Tips, Acoustic Sausage, The Pork Dukes and many more. Dig in!

Yes, Darren. Captain Beef Heart qualifies for sure. The only reason I did not include them here is because their music is still not available on subscription music services.
