   • 256 VOTES. Rush. Many call them prog rock, but Rush is definitely equal parts nerd. Their palatable brand of prog has won them an intensely loyal fanbase perhaps rivaling the Grateful Dead.
   • 214 VOTES. Weezer. Perhaps one of the most successful nerd rock bands of all time, Weezer defines the label in every way possible. Singer Rivers Cuomo has been named a "nerd sex symbol," and even has a TV show in the works about a rocker who quits his band at age 30 and goes to Harvard.
   • 154 VOTES. Devo. Sometimes cited as the godfathers of nerd music, Devo is much, much more than their hit "Whip It." Their catalog of weird music, distinct aesthetic, and unique brand of visuals influenced what was to come in '80s - something co-founder Gerald Casale said was unintentional.
   • 130 VOTES. King Crimson. One of prog's most beloved bands, King Crimson's nerdy brand of intellectually challenging rock is still going strong after several decades.
