So if you want my advice, check out his iTunes Celebrity Playlist and look for the distinctive acts with distinctive sounds that he hasn't style-parodied YET. Here's a list of potentials:

Alice Cooper

The Ramones

I think an Alice or Ramones style parody would be awesome...(not that I've been wanting an Alice style parody FOREVER!!! :P)

A Ramones styled song would be amazing. No way around that for me. I listen to them a lot for whatever reason.

Aren't they one of Al's favorite bands anyway? I thought his iTunes playlist had one of their songs...

I keep having this weird feeling Al is going to do a style parody of either the White Stripes or Andrew WK.

I have recently started liking the Foo Fighters(who my friends consider to be just as stupid as Al :sigh:) and I would love if he did a parody of them. Frankly, I would like any rock parody, but Foo Fighters would be great. Al's following Dave Grohl on Twitter if that has anything to do with that.

Right but there are usually a handful of style parodies of very well known influential acts as well. Recent examples include: Rage Against The Machine, Beck, Bob Dylan, Nine Inch Nails, ska.

I know I've said this before, but I'd LOVE to see a Bloodhound Gang style parody. I really feel that Al could do a lot with them. They also strike as a band that's semi-obscure, but not too obscure, which, IMO, makes fodder for a good style parody..

I would LOVE to see this, but I think it's quite unlikely.
