20% of 25 people means that - as of the moment I'm writing this - five people have voted "Yes" for Chumbawumba. I know that sounds weird at first, but: Wikipedia says that there have been nine members of Chumbawumba over the years, so the truth is that nearly half the band needs to hurry up and get Internet access.

These guys don't have a chance.

Small correction: It's Chumbawamba. Only one 'u' in the name.

A very good band (even their "one-hit wonder" album had some great stuff that the public overlooked), but I can't think of much offhand that they've innovated.

No chance of induction, but you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't at least attempt to track down a copy of "Pictures of Starving Children Sell Records."

Don't be biased. They have lots of pure hardcore album. Just because they had one hit, does not make them a bad band!

And RATM cites them as a major influence,you know.

Maybe. That one hit was awesome. I'll do some research.

Correction: this band's name is spelled "Chumbawamba" not "Chumbawumba"


They get points from me for having such an unconventional name that goes together well with their best known, unusually-named song. I remember the first time I heard them on the radio, "That was Tubthumping by Chumbawamba"

It was only later that I found out what was meant by "tubthumping"
