[kj] Top 10 bands

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

I like a lot of current bands and have posted about them -- incl. World 
Burns to Death, a big fave of mine, and some modern Japanese stuff. 
Fugazi haven't broken u technically (they're on "indefinite hiatus").

I do however dislike Fall Out Boy and The Fratellis. Big time. Ergh.

Another current band I had in my Top 10 was -- KILLING JOKE. _Hosannas_ 
is my favorite album and once I heard it and their 2003 s/t LP their 
whole back catalogue "clicked" for me and I worked my way back, and like 
stuff to varying degrees except everything made between 1986 and 1989. 
So, yeah, another modern band I like, KJ. If they were all 21 and had 
made Hosannas, I wonder how it would have been met. I have often thought 
some of the recent KJ stuff is still to me some of coolest current stuff 
being put out there. So, that's a modern band, there. They aren't an 
80s  band despite some folks' best efforts to classify them that way.

Another new band I love and have interviewed are The Complications, 
their name taken from the Killing Joke song; they're from Quebec:

>> Much as I love a lot of the bands on most of the top ten lists from you all, I do get the feeling that most of the stuff is 80's music. What about today's bands? Lately I have been listening to the Fratellies, Mika, Fall Out Boy, Lilley Allen, Scissor Sisters etc. All fantastic stuff. May or may not make my top ten in the future but still good. But how can anything beat Chelsea Dagger or This Ain't a Scene? Only individual songs but not stuck in the past like everyone seems to be. Only my current thoughts so don't flame me too much!
