2) R&B quartet from Houston, Texas. Possessing a sound similar to Dru Hill and Next, among Ideal's most popular songs are "Get Gone" (1999) and "Whatever" (2000), featuring Lil Mo and produced by Next's lead singer R.L. Huggar. The group's members are PZ, Swab, J-Dante, and Maverick.
2005: Ideal Has A New Record Deal and Album Called "From Now On" With Production By : Brian Michael-Cox, Rockwilder, Nisan Stewart, Mike City, Battle Cat; first single: "Makin' Time") (Neutral Ground/Universal, 2006)
Maverick and J-Dante, members of the school choir, were singing outside one day when PZ and Swab joined in. The guys impressed and created their own group, quickly getting a chance to perform at their own school. The group's policy is made clearest on their hit record 'Get Gone' from their debut album. The protagonist of the song discovers his girlfriend is cheating on him and doesn't hesitate to tell her to leave. The group offers a nice claim for men during a time when groups like TLC and Destiny's Child attack men. According to member PZ, the name of the group was created as follows: We actually picked up a dictionary and said whatever page it falls on, we're gonna get our name off that page...so we opened it up about halfway and it fell to the 'I' section. So we went down about four or five words, and we saw Ideal, and we read the definition, and it was a conception embodying perfection. And we liked that because although we're not perfect, we strive for perfection in everything that we do, especially our music, and we also added a second definition to ideal, which is 'the recipe to fulfill every woman's fantasy...baby!'[1]
Their self-titled debut album was released by Virgin Records on August 24, 1999. The album sold 615,000 units in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan[2], and was certified Gold by the RIAA[3]. Allmusic's Heather Phares called Ideal's initial effort a "heartfelt first album" which showcased the "group's smooth, sensuous vocal styling and romantic songwriting[4].
It was reported in 2004 that the group had wrapped up production on a new album, From Now On[2], but it has never been released.
3) Ideal is an alternative metal band from New York City, featuring Hunter Hunt-Hendrix of Liturgy.
4) Brazilian Hardcore band from Aracajú, Sergipe. They released an EP called "Acabar com Todas as Cercas".

Ideal Lyrics
Eiszeit Das Telefon seit Jahren still - Kein Mensch mit dem ich…
Erschiessen Komm, wir lassen uns erschießen, an der Mauer Hand in Hand.…
Feuerzeug Du schaust mich an und ich fall in Hypnose, Du…
Herrscher Abends bin ich der Herrscher der Welt - und ihr…
Ich kann nicht schlafen Am Tag da lauf ich rum wie ein Löwe im…
Immer Frei Sind wir down wegen Fraun werfen wir fünf Anti-Frust wenn…
Monotonie Monotonie in der Südsee Melancholie bei dreißig Grad Monoton…
Schwein Du denkst ich bin der softe Typ Und der die Frauen…
Sex in der Wüste Am Strand von Tanger in der glühend heißen Sonne liegen sie …
Spannung Ich komme wenn du schläfst und ich färbe deine Träume kobal…
Spion Mach das rote Licht aus Hier kommt die Krise Mach das rote…
