I've never even heard of them. Terrible name for a pop group.

Where is the Grateful Dead? I don't even listen to them, but htey clearly had a huge following.

What about Phish? Them too.

She is disgusting beyond words, the looniest most pretentious woman I have ever had the displeasure to be subjected to. I understand, on a certain level, the devotion her fans feel because she is, like Morrissey, very insular and unique, but...with her, unlike with Morrissey, it is just in the most unbearable, useless way. Her newest album reveals that she has divided herself into five seperate ego-selves to be able to tell all of the "song stories."

She does have a few decent songs, come to think of it, and she CAN actually play and sing, but again...she is a bit off. And not in a good way.

New-age nutjob, at the end of the day.

Who's that?
As for Sublime, they were great. Definitely a band that was ended too early by drugs.

Where is Smiths ,Depeche Mode, Cure, Motorhead, Sisters of Mercy etc.

what about the backstreet boys? After more than 12 years they are still going strong!! Remember the time they shut down time square? Yeah, that's fanatical.

Beatles??? Didn't they inspire the world to have Beatles haircuts and a fan so obsessed that he shot John Lennon. No 1 surely. Morrissey at no 2.

It's funny (and perhaps not wrong) that all the comments here seem to be treating the 'most irrational fanbase' thing as some kind of accolade.

Just to put in my two pence worth, I like Tori Amos. Also, The Guardian is a big heap of self-satisfied shit written by condescending prigs who think they represent a bastion of intelligence in Britain when all they represent is narrow-minded mediocrity. They should all be slaughtered. "Hey, I'm Mr Rational, and today I'm going to dissect these strange, irrational, sub-human creatures known as 'fans'." Fuck off.
