[kj] OT: worst lyrics awards

[Leigh Newton]

Pearl Jam's place in the musical jigsaw puzzle has always baffled me. They were supposed to be this fresh new band sporting a fresh new sound. A fresh new classic rock-infused sound. Yuck. I hate myself for liking Ten at the time. That's at least Ten years penence I'll have to do in Hell. 

Nirvana were and are awesome. Definately overrated and overhyped. But I love the songs. 

Whitesnake. We all love Here I Go Again. What else do you need?

Generation X made records a quadrillion times more enjoyable than  
ANYthing Pearl Jam will ever come up with.

EARLY Whitesnake (circa SLIP IT IN and "Slow'n'Easy" -- when Cozy  
Powell was in the band) were fucking ferocious)

Nirvana = tirelessly overrated piffle.
