Noone will ever agree on genres. Different songs fall into different genres. They have folk songs, rock songs, pop songs, etc. However, en masse, they simply fall into Pop/Rock, which is where you will always find their music listed in music stores. Subgenres are a waste of time, since they must fall into at least twenty or thirty of them at different points in their career. Per previous discussion, which brought no objection to limiting genres, I'm limiting the genre box to a general category of alt rock and pop rock, which they arguably fall into either way. There is little or no power pop on Gordon... there is little or no folk rock on Maroon or Everything to Everyone or BLAM. Spurts of a genre from song to song should not be the BAND's genre.

I heard a new single by BNL today on the radio, but I'm unsure what it was. It sounded like it was a cover of an 80's song. This isn't likely the place for it, but I was hoping someone had some information on it. I can't seem to find anything appropriate for it on the discography. Thanks!

Hasn't he left the band now? Khcf6971 (talk) 19:01, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
I don't think using a photo of the band from 2008 with Steven Page cropped out is okay. Steven was performing with the band through February of 2009, the current photo is misleading. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.118.125.153 (talk) 02:01, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
As previously mentioned at Talk:List of awards and nominations received by Barenaked Ladies, the band has won at least three MMVAs
There have definately been other nominations though, and I can't seem to find a listing of all of them or a proper number to add to the awards table.
For example, 2001 noms for MuchMoreMusic Award (Pinch Me), People's Choice: Favourite Canadian Group (Too Little Too Late), and People's Choice: Favourite Video By A Canadian (TLTL).
There are almost certainly more... TheHYPO (talk) 20:07, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
The lead of this article says: "Barenaked Ladies formed in 1988 in Scarborough, Ontario, then a suburban city outside Toronto.[1]" Then???? Is Scarborough no longer a suburban city outside Toronto? --dashiellx (talk) 14:11, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
I used to listen to this band when they were called the Housemartins. Oops, it's happy hour again, gotta go... But seriously, why is there no talk about this band being a copy of the Housemartins. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.204.73.193 (talk) 22:30, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
Because they weren't. Rebeccaxf (talk) 16:02, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
Never heard of this band and pretty confident BNL hadn't either.
They appeared in the WB's Charmed in the episode "The Honeymoon's Over". There's a picture of them with the cast, but I don't know how to add it. Could somebody add the picture? Here's the link: Barenaked Ladies and the Charmed Sisters GlennVP (talk) 19:48, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
According to their Scarborough Walk of Fame induction video ( here ) they have been nominated for 18 Junos with 8 wins. There are clearly some missing Junos here. TheHYPO (talk) 13:56, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
"On another front, Robertson had agreed to perform with his cover band in a battle of the bands at Nathan Phillips Square for the Second Harvest food bank." What cover band? Enigmamsg 22:24, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

At this point, I'm not sure if "Recent Activity" is necessarily still an appropriate headline, given that it stretches all the way back to 2011. Perhaps "Post-Page Era" would be more appropriate? CoffeeLover1245 (talk) 23:48, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
Is it accurate to say that Tyler has performed vocals for the band since 2007? He has sung "Alcohol" at concerts since Page's departure and contributed vocals to "Four Seconds", but is that sufficient to classify him as a vocalist?
As for the other members, would it be better to simply write "Vocals" as opposed to "Lead/Background Vocals"? For example, Jim sang two songs on one CD through the band's first four studio albums, so would it really be fair to say he has performed lead vocals since joining the band? The same can be said about Kevin, who didn't take lead vocals on a song until five years into his time with the band. Andy took or shared the lead on two songs during his time with the band ("I Love You" and "Little Tiny Song"), but would it not be misleading to say he was a lead vocalist?

shouldnt geek rock be added because geek rock says the band is a geek rock band St. Jimmy (talk) 05:49, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
