Crash Test Dummies - your thoughts

This a band, i have liked for about 13 yrs now, interesting humourous lyrics, with nice laid back melodies, first 3 albums at least. Good for a joint as well wink
If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.

I saw them a good dozen times when they were a local bar band, and didn't like them much. While I didn't begrudge them whatever success they had - in fact, I was happy for them in a 'local kids make good' sort of way - their music was not my cuppa.

Punctuate this!

Isn't that something? To give credit where credit is due, another orger posted this video here a month or two back - I can't remember who it was, but if you're out there, thank you.

Never much of a fan of Crash Test Dummies, although I've always thought Brad Roberts had a somewhat sexy voice and looks hot in an open-collar shirt.

i met him a few yrs ago in Vienna, abit of an odd chap, hence the very quirky lyrics to their songs, as an autograph, he drew a golfbag eek

He has a fantastic voice live
