You know what I like? Random polls. Nothing captures the essence of online music discussion like trying to compare bands that have nothing in common. Because in order to vote, you must compare them, and then you must justify your comparison, both to yourself and to us, and reading the steps required to make this process appear logical pleases me because it allows me to gaze at the architecture of other people's thoughts without being intrusive like in a politics thread.
 
I am going with ASMZ because I have always found their acronym aesthetically pleasing. Perhaps it is the mirroring of the S and Z, so the SMZ is sort of a mini-palindrome, and I've always enjoyed palindromes. Unrelated, but when I'm on register at work, I always inform the customer when her total is a palindrome, and I always get a weird look after they look at it for a few seconds and realize I'm right. They don't understand that waiting for the ecstasy of a palindrome is the most interesting part of being on register. :(

GY!BE because the use of punctuate in an acronym is so amusing and unnecessary.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

By the way, did you omit VDGG, FZ, and JT OP, or were they just an OS?

OP, having them and DT, PT, and TMV would make it too easy. ;-)

Isn't GY!BE actually GYBE! these days?

No problem.  Would you prefer some Wanted Man or Back For More instead?

You have it backwards, they were originally GYBE!, but switched to GY!BE for Yanqui UXO so their punctuation is in line with the obscure Japanese movie they're named after.

I always pronounce it Gibe in my head, but with an exclamation point, like this: "Gibe!!!"
