Moss Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Well it was kind of slow around here so thought we needed a poll. I'm going with Deerhunter, love that band although I do like the others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sonicshoulder Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I gotta go Deer Tick mostly due to the Middle Brother album which technically isn't Deer Tick so feel free to disregard my vote although you should still be persuaded by it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scalzunfield Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Deerhoof all the way. Not a fan of the other two so it was easy.But I adore Deerhoof and I'd put them ahead of most other bands anyways. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
u2roolz Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I refuse to listen to any of these guys out of fear of getting Lyme Disease. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maggie Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Deerhoof is a no for me. I like to idea of Deerhunter but never get around to listening to them. I saw Deer Tick as an opening act and loved them but can't handle much of the guy's voice on the studio recordings. The music is definitely my style - I just need to listen in small doses. I guess I'll go with Deer Tick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brianjeremy Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I go deerhunter...I never listened to Deertick and I really haven't been able to get into Deerhoof. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Three dollars and 63 cents Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Deerhoof is one of my favorite bands, so this was an easy choice for me. I like Deer Tick, too, but I thought their last album was pretty mediocre. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamradio Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 BIG Deerhunter fan.. I'm the tiebreaker. Maybe I should change the name of my band to Deerhead... Seems like all of the Deer named bands receive main stream recognition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like all of the Deer named bands receive main stream recognition. There does seem to be some sort of advantage putting Deer in the name of your band. I though about adding The Antlers and Caribou to this list but thought that was getting out of hand. I'm a little surprised by the Deerhoof love here. I like them but damn, Halcyon Digest was so damn good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamradio Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I'm a little surprised by the Deerhoof love here. I like them but damn, Halcyon Digest was so damn good. Indeed, one of my favorite albums. Their older stuff is good.. But I'd like to know what Bradford was eating for breakfest when he wrote the songs for Halcyon. Excellent record. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ih8music Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I ticked for deer tick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Caribou. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I'm going with Deerhunter. I like Deerhoof, but they can be a little too spastic for my tastes. I've only heard one Deer Tick song. Hated the vocals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I'll go with Deer Tick. i'm with you all the way. the middle brother album is good for small doses of deer tick man. great lyrics. Caribou. genius Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 how about Black Elk? i voted Deerhunter, easily the best of the 3. i've not seen Deer Tick, have seen Deerhoof twice. once from their hotel room window. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAK2112 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Deerhunter, but if The Antlers are the ACTUAL best Deer band. FYI new album Burst Apart comes out today, its really damn good Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Were they recording in there? Chords everywhere, an amp being mic'd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
