Electric Six
I think I saw someone mention them, but I can’t find them now. They’re pretty silly, but also their songs are unironically fun to listen to as well.
Bowling for Soup
Blink 182 as well! Though I’m not much a fan of mark anymore as he’s some sort of pawn for the US govt uap topic imo
Them being ska punk makes it an easy pick, but Russkaja has great covers and original songs.
Adam and the ants
Reel big fish
The dead milkmen
Talking heads
Devo
I only know a couple singles, but I get the sense Primus is pretty wacky
System of a Down is an equal mix of the most serious and fun songs that I’ve ever seen.

SOAD is goat but NOFX has lots of fun too NOFX - idiots are taking over
I second the awesome silliness of NOFX! They are that and more!
I know who doesn’t want a designer cunt!
Yes, I also wipe front to back cause I don’t want a bladder infection.
ETA: a yeast infection is actually more likely if you wipe otherwise.

Macklemore
Mr Bungle. The singer from faith no more. Apparently he liked hiding his turds in ventilation ducs in the hotels while he was on tour. Also made fun of the other lead singer of RHCP.
That’s because Anthony Kiedis thought very little of Mike Patton around the time of “Epic” I don’t know if they ever settled on the matter.
He thought Mike Patton was biting his style! I recently watched the video for Epic and I can kind of see what Kiedis is saying but honestly RHCP never had a hit like Epic before it was released. Mother’s Milk was released a few months later.

Primus sucks
Came here to say this. But as usual I came too late (except for intercourse, where it’s the opposite).
I will never stop being sad over when the Primus website stopped being primussucks.com for primusville or what the fuck ever.
Real heads remember that “Primus sucks” is the clarion call of people who fucking love Primus.
speaking of old times, wasn’t winamp’s genre dropdown menu had ‘primus’ sticking among all other genres, suggesting how special primus are?
You are indeed correct, sir or madam or other.
Although with the explosion of new music styles, I’d argue that Primus needs its own actual categorization. Funk-Metal or something akin to that.
Psychedelic polka
This explains why the crowd was shouting this when I saw Primus performing Rush last year! I was very confused lol. 🤘
Man, that’s just wacky to see those bands in one sentence in reference to rocking and being silly. You’re not wrong.
One of my favorites - Frank Zappa’s Apostrophe / Overnight Sensation.
Bloodhound Gang, Blink 182, Sum 41, Sublime, Men Without Hats, They Might Be Giants, Tenacious D, Ugly Kid Joe, Green Jelly / Jello, The Dead Milkmen, Dee Lite, Squeeze.
Piling on here… One size fits all is an excellent intro album to Zappa for the uninitiated!
How is Tenacious D not plastered all over the comments!?
If you’re going to mention Frank Zappa you also have to mention “Sheik Yerbouti” and “Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch” by him.
Don’t forget “Muffin Man”
Have you checked Nanowar (of steel) which is parodic metal ?
My favourite was the one about the ECB declaring war on the tooth fairy https://youtu.be/CzvQxQYKO88?si=syo-DYB2sHD5V79u

Peter Gabriel era Genesis was pretty goofy, as well as some of his solo stuff.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is pretty much the goofiest band known to man right now; especially if you listen to their earlier stuff like Cellophane or Vegemite.
Does Weird Al count? Because he is just as talented as any “serious” musician.
Also, The Presidents of the United States of America.
just as talented
More so, arguably.
Way more so, and it’s not even an argument.
I was waiting for someone to say TPUSA. Their entire first album is basically the answer to this question.
And their second album. And their third…
Also, The Presidents of the United States of America.
The song “More Bad Times” came on my Spotify radio playlist a few years back. I had never heard the song before. I was dying of laughter. I was not at all prepared for a song that silly.
Unlike the other bands listed in this thread, Weird Al manages to rock even when he’s covering other musical genres!
Weird Al has literally done covers including style covers of many of the bands listed in this thread!
Presidents of the USA: Gump
They Might Be Giants style cover: Everything You Know Is Wrong
Devo style cover: Dare To Be Stupid
I’m sure there’s more, that’s off the top of my head.
There’s also songs that may have been initially inspired by a certain other artist but strayed far enough to be basically completely original, such as Albuquerque and (possibly my favorite Weird Al song of them all) Hardware Store.
Not to mention the polkas, which is what I really had in mind when I was talking about him making other genres rock.
you might enjoy pulling up some Dr Demento playlists you’d be surprised how many good bands have a goofy side!
