Readers’ Rock List: Animal Bands

Rock Daily is amped to be hitting the SXSW festival later this week, where we’ll surely be encountering dozens of bands named after animals. So we dedicated the Weekend Rock List to all the Animal Bands that looked to wildlife for inspiration. To avoid a landslide, bugs — and thus the Beatles — were banned. With the Fab Four out, our readers voted Animal Collective as the king of the rock jungle, thanks to their new Merriweather Post Pavilion. The Collective edged out Eagles, Animals and many more furry and feathered bands. To see if your favorite Animal Band made it, check the Readers’ List below: 1. Animal Collective 2.
