It's grime time.

I love that list.

Batman created by Bob Kane

I'm fairly sure it's a relatively random list meant to make some sort of point or just to get attention.

"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

Lists like these are meant to be provocative. While there are a few bands on there that I either like now, or liked when they were popular in the 80's, I didn't really care that they were on this list until I saw Oingo Boingo there--I love them!

Good to see Skinny Puppy getting a shout out in these modern times.

ICP sucks.

Oh no, now all the juggalos are going to tell me how they're going to take over the world.

It's basically taking swipes at obvious, easy targets. Is there an article to go with the list?

i actually didnt buy the magazine, but rather read the list on the net. alll i could find was this:

http://www.blender.com/articles/article_466.html

but that only shows the first 10 or something. ill keep searching.

I am saddened to see Toad the wet Sprocket on there, but not as much as I am about someone taking a swipe at Kansas. In their time, they ruled, now they're just fodder for the hipsters.

As an aside, Whitesnake and Bad English was my first concert.

Peeing sitting down is the gift you give yourself.

Saw the Goo Goo Dolls live opening for Horton Heat. The Goo Goo Dolls were unintelligible. No groove. No songs. No... anything really. Just a wall of undifferentiated white noise. Heat blew them to smithereens.

What others say about boorite!

They dare speak ill of Manowar? I shall get my broadsword and smite them.

DEATH TO FALSE METAL!

Ahem.

---
Absorbed directly through the skin.

Oh... and the Gipsy Kings do not belong on that list.

---

Live, Paul Oakenfold and definitely the Doors do not belong on that list.

---
Destroying my reputation one post at a time.

Celine Dion does not belong below 25 names on this list.

i second that emotion!

of course, you're talking about the same magazine that once called The Band one of the 7 best bands of all time.

Primus Sucks!

Paul Oakenfold definitely does. Especially for having the audacity to try and remix that Elvis track.

:-(

1993/4's "Sailing the Seas of Cheese" was a slice of zeitgeist for young Jes. Gragh! Ignore their later stuff.

Paul Oakenfold's stuff with Perfecto Fluro was quite good, for commercial trance. Then he sold out even more.

I could name you a dozen bands who suck more than the naked vacuum of space who should be up there at the top of that list. But sure, we could debate this for ever.

Please replace the handset, and try again.

I too must admit some Primus love, mainly just because their drummer Brain is freaking wonderful. His beats are wild yet tight and I love him for it...yet I love umfum too. Come on, guys, don't make me choose.

...plus they did the south park theme!

It's grime time.

a pox on you and your houses!
any true Primus fan knows that their motto is
Primus Sucks!

you'd like Frizzle Fry, too, jes

I've got it - second favourite Primus album. Les Claypool pops.

Boorite likes The Reverend Horton Heat? Sweetness...

"No obscene images." I guess I'll just have to settle for saying cocksucker a lot.

I liked the Hooters, but then again, I like that sort of crap. Aside from being Cyndi Lauper's backup band, they could tear your head off from the 30th row in concert. God save well crafted, hooky pop.

And the Doors don't belong on that list, simply because they wrote some brilliant shit. Despite Jim Morrison being a self-absorbed drunken twat.

Now, down to business:

The Forgotten Crap Bands®

KISS - Oh, Mother Mary, these guys blow. I saw their first tour when the New York Dolls opened, and you know?.... They never got any better.

Mötley Crüe - Blow, blow, blow. Especially live. Walls of suck for days.

Blue Öyster Cult - Aside from some great stuff like "Astonomy" and the solo on "Don't Fear The Reaper", PU. Umlaut bands... ick.

Television - Much like their namesake, a lot of baloney in a slick covering.

The Motors - Utter shit '80s synth stuff that's as difficult to listen to as Jim Carrey is to watch.

Steve Miller - The most utterly aseptic, formulaic twaddle ever put to disc. Find this man a job.

ELO - "Mister Lynne? This is a recording console. Sit behind it and never, ever open your mouth again."

Exodus - Shove your 120 dB evilness up your skinny ass.

Elvis Presley - Yeah... I know.. but every time I listen to this guy's stuff, it just gets worse.

Wilco - Roger. Over and out.

Neil Diamond - How in the HELL did he escape this list?

I wanted my half in the middle and I wound up on the edge.
