They Might Be Giants[edit]

I would like any comments or suggestions on how to fix this page. I believe it needs some form of an overhaul--some sections might be able to be their own articles. More or less, if you have had any experience on working on articles by bands please give me some input. The main thing this article needs is probably the organization of their works. That and more references. b_cubed 05:25, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well first, let me just say TMBG is my favoritest band of all time, and I would love to see them get FA. But now onto the comments:

Isn't the "Discography" section redundant? #1: The albums are all mentioned in "History" and #2: everything is in the template box. However, that leave "Contributions, other releases" as the odd man odd, and I'm not sure what to do which them. "Charting Singles" should stay, but "Music videos" just probably need to be mentioned in their respective albums/EP/whatever. The album images then should be speckled throughout the history section.
Dr. Evil is a link to the character, not the song. Also, you might want to add something about how they didn't sing that, lest someone think there's a girl in the band (I though "Dr.Evil" was just mislabeled for the longest time).
Extremely difficult, but perhaps try to describe TMBG's sound/style? TMBG is also certainly a band that needs audio samples to understand properly. Pink Floyd has gotten away with being a FA with 29 audio samples. You don't have to have that many, but a good range of the sampling would be nice. And actually, knowing TMBG, they may have a few songs that would be completely free use.
Also, what about deeper meanings in TMBG songs? This may be impossible to do without violating WP:OR, but do they actually intentionally put meanings into their songs, or is it just another "I Am the Walrus" (odd for the sake of being odd)?--SeizureDog 09:14, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Created a discography article for They Might Be Giants. Unlinked the song Dr. Evil. I plan on integrating some album art throughout the article. Anyone else have any suggestions? b_cubed 21:46, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
