Damien Rice is too boring to really inspire strong feelings of either hatred or love.

Guided By Voices - Under The Bushes, Under The Stars Melt Banana - Bambi's Dilemma Black Moth Super Rainbow - Dandelion Gum Aesop Rock - Float

I can safely assume you've never heard the original then, right?

Metallica's cover of Loverman is amoung the worst musical crimes against humanity.

Like they aren't now?

I dunno, White Blood Cells is still fantastic, and the first two albums both have moments in the good/great area. Elephant, a few standout tracks notwithstanding, is the beginning of the downward spiral.

I love Liquid Liquid.

I don't think the point of the Academy is to have its finger "on the pulse of the people". It's supposed to, y'know, reward GOOD movies. Although it doesn't do that very much, either.

You seem to have stumbled upon the answer to your own question.

I'm seeing Melt Banana in about a month. I like them a lot more than either of you guys, and the fact that I'm seeing them without Tool is a bonus.

My first was (gulp) Incubus.

Okay, this has gone on long enough. Is everybody satisfied yet? Good, let's just leave this thread alone. Jingus posting his intelligence test scores is a fine finale.

This is misleading.

I wonder how much about Marney is her real personality and how much is just an internet persona to acquire attention and respect. She's our web community's Vincent Gallo.

I can't say I've ever heard a full length QotSA album, but I do enjoy most of their singles that I've heard. Any of them worth tracking down?

I'm in your corner, World's Worst Man!

Assuming for one second that there is a God, how can one be certain that the "mainstream" Christians have it right? How can one ascertain that Fred Phelps ISN'T actually talking to God? Because he's mean? I find a lot of religious teachings to be very mean spirited, but that's not the foundation of my disbelief. It seems to me that once one takes the leap to believe in Christianity, all of the sects, including the extremists, have just as much likelyhood of teaching the correct ways of Jesus.

Queens Of The Stone Age covered Goin' Out West by Tom Waits as the B side of their new single. It's actually not too bad, although it plays it pretty safe and sticks by the original very closely.

Hey, I agree one hundred percent. Hug!

I don't hate gary floyd. If he has a fault, it's that he's far too earnest and eager to please to survive the slings and arrows of TSM life unscathed. luke-o is blatantly awful in every way, although that's fairly obvious.

New Order's Movement is an underappreciated album. It's generally dismissed as being an inferior and half developed album that showed the guys having not yet outgrown the shadow of Ian Curtis and Joy Division, but it's got a wonderful atmosphere and memorable songs.

Why is this not a poll?

Yes, luke-o is worse.

Point, but her voice is the most prominent (to my ears, anyways). Besides, without it, my already paltry list would be diminished further. Anyways, Top five as of late: Echo & The Bunnymen - Nocturnal Me The Replacements - Unsatisfied Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow 13th Floor Elevators - Baby Blue Morrissey - The Last Of The Famous International Playboys

These Are The Fables is only okay. Really, I just wanted to call attention to To Wild Homes.
