as far as the Eddies
ahem (no pun intended )
Would Flo and Eddie fit here- maybe more than Zappa (link)
I saw them open for Alice Cooper on his BDB tour..they were hilariously rude and rather zany.
Like in Keep it Warm..is this an Eddie idea??
"KEEP IT WARM"
Words and Music by
Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan
Write another song for the money
Something they can sing, not so funny
Money in the bank to keep us warm
Stick another grape in the juicer
Or fill your guts with grease and get get looser
You are what you eat , so eat it warm
Roll another joint for the Gipper
Get the Gipper high, he gets hipper
Stick it in his mouth and keep him warm
Elect another jerk to the White House
Gracie Slick is losing her door mouse
Take her off the streets and keep her warm
Fight another war if they make you
Squeal on a friend or they'll take you
The future's in your lap, so keep it warm...
Warm, here in your arms
Safe from all harm, where I belong
Warm, cozy and calm, another
Dawn together warm....
My woodie's broken down by the beach now
And TM's gotten far out of reach now
Tell the Mahareesh to keep it warm
George is suing Paul, suing Ringo
and immigration wants John and Yoko
All they need is love, to keep them warm
Kill another whale with your power
Or shoot a bunch a kids from a tower
Snipe them in there cars
Blood keeps them warm
Or
Make a better world from the old one
Make yourself a baby and hold one
Hold her in your arms and keep her warm,
Keep her warm, Keep her warm,
Keep her warm...........

Helpful suggestions - thanks guys. Keep 'em coming if anyone thinks of any others.
This is primarily just so the site can recommend them to other people that might like similar music so it's fine for the list to be all over the place. Its not saying that Daniel Amos or any of these bands sound exactly like this list... more that fans of these artists might also like DA.

The XTC / Heads / Bowie vibe works well with DA and the Eddies.
Things get tricky though when you start parsing songs from albums. "Avocado Faultline" fits with the Dogs as easily as songs from "John Wayne" could have been on "Bibleland". Some "Zoom Daddy" tunes have a psych-like edge so they could have hobknobbed with "Motorcycle"... And of course, "Madonna Inn" and "My Cardboard Box" aren't too far from the travelogue sounds of "Songs Of The Heart".
I'm of no help in your search for avenues of direction, I know. I gave up trying to play the 'sounds like _____' game years ago. Mostly I find myself saying, you'll have to listen to them and judge for yourself, but I find that for many it is an acquired taste.

For years when telling someone about Daniel Amos and the ask me "what kind of music do they play?", I can only answer, "Which album?" Then MBD came out and I had to change that to "Which song?"

The simplest description of the best bands' output is simply "good music" because they can play across multiple genres.
