Some of Townsend's other material is pretty bad, but I do enjoy his clean singing on Devin Townsend Band releases. Mike Patton's EP with Dillinger Escape Plan is solid; it's worth listening to just for the cover of Aphex Twin's "Come to Daddy". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Tzar Lysergic Report post Posted April 4, 2008 We're all dumbasses. Put David Bowie at my number 2 and bump everyone else down a space. Brian Eno, too. See, as much as I like what Eno's done with King Crimson, Talking Heads, and David Bowie, I've never really caught a spark to explore his solo material. I think I started at the absolute wrong place with Music for Airports.. I can't place him in my favorites. Fripp I can't really remove far from King Crimson, and the other members are as important as he, despite the fact that he's the only common thread. Really, it's just that Fripp's solo material doesn't totally blow my mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2008 1a. Motley Crue 1b. Guns N Roses 1c. Motorhead ^Likely my three favorite overall groups. I obviously agree with people like Bowie, Prince and Miles. In such a group, I'd add: JG Thirlwell Dan the Automator My personal, sentimental favorites (while some of these do objectively suck, I am by no means implying that all of them do): 1. GG Allin 2. Britney 3. Mindless Self Indulgence 4. Marilyn Manson 5. Aphex Twin 6. Eazy E 7. Diamanda Galas 8. Electric Wizard 9. LiveFastDie 10. Dethklok I like Xtina a lot too, but I couldn't find a place for her. Her image is fluctuating, and not a clear downward spiral like Britney, but musically she's never faltered. Amy Winehouse brings the persona to my divas, Xtina brings the talent. Britney is just everything at once, so that's why she's on there and they aren't. And stuff.
