Surely System and RageATM have done more than most bands in recent(ish) years to bring politics via their music to a massive audience - for that they deserve some respect

System Of A Down - System of A Clown? I can't stand them! That singer looks and sings on my nerves. I had a friend tell me once years ago he sounded like Jello Biafra! I was what the fuck? Them and Rage Against The Machine should hold hands and jump off a real tall bridge. 
 
 
Phillip Boa & The Voodoo Club - Who???
 
NIN - They had their moments back in the days, but to be honset I have not listened to them since 1992ish?
 
The Prodigy - Lame.
 
The Police -  Were good when I was a kid. Many moons ago.... :)
 
Sting - Gay!
 
Bush - A ripoff of trying to be another being Nirvana and thay stil suck. Oh! And Gavin Friday's wife Qwen sucks even more! That is a matchmade in Heaven of complete suckness! 
 
Queen - Are hit and miss with me. But I do like some of their stuff. No more... "We Will Rock You!" That song is the most played out song to this day! Or I am going to write a song called We Will Sock You! :) 
 
Ladytron -  I have heard of the name not the tunes.
 
Les Rita Misuko - Who?????
 
 
David Bowie - He is like old suit in a closet that will never go away. If that means anything? ;) 
 
Bauhaus - Rule! 
 
Apex Twins - Strange, especially their videos need to be in a mental aslyum.

My take on these bands: 
 
System Of A Down - Not a big fan, but love their passionate spirit, their melodic ways and speaking out on Turkey's role in the Armenian genocide. 
 
Phillip Boa & The Voodoo Club - Ehhh...

Marilyn Manson - No; that train has sailed
 
Nine Inch Nails -- Powerful; important 
 
The Prodigy - Overrated.

The Police - Never a massive fan by any means, but saw them in concert 
 
Sting - Not really
 
Bush - The band and president are both massive disappointments

Queen - Hey, it's Queen! What more can you say? 

Ladytron - Too chilly for my tastes

Les Rita Mitsouko - Don't know them.
 
David Bowie - He's a legend for a reason. 


Bauhaus - A few great songs, but they owe a lot to Bowie

Aphex Twin - Groundbreaking, if occassionally painful to listen to.

System Of A Down - I appreciate them as a band and what they say.  But the fans are asses.
Phillip Boa & The Voodoo Club - Neva heard of 'em...next!
Marilyn Manson - Again, the fans annoy me more than the actual artist.  But I have no reason to ever listen to him.  
 
Nine Inch Nails - Early record are good.  Why bother now.
 
The Prodigy - I can enjoy them but I would not miss them

The Police - Yes. But from years of classic rock stations I don't care if I ever hear Roxanne ever again.

Sting - Fuck off and take your kids to soccer practice while drinking a double chai latte.  In other words he sucks personally and musically.

Bush - Are they still around?  Are they worth mentioning?  Is it even worth commenting?  Isn't there only current claim to fame is being married to someone else more famous?
 
Queen - Always enjoyable.

Ladytron - I like them.  Saw them once.  But hasn't drawn me in to buy anything or become a "fan".
 
Les Rita Mitsouko - Who? What? Where? Why?
 
David Bowie - Will always love Bowie.  Even in his lows.
 
Bauhaus - Everything was splendid until the reunion.  And then the last record came out.....
 
Aphex Twin - I really don't know him well enough to comment but every time I listen it seems different then the time before.  I understand why people like him/them.

Okay, I'll play too:
System Of A Down - I like a few tracks, but they're ultimately too silly for me.
 
Phillip Boa & The Voodoo Club - I am not familiar with their work.
 
Marilyn Manson - Not very original and SLAVISHLY overrated, but a smart gent to be sure.
 
 Nine Inch Nails - Love the early records, but can't be bothered now.
 
The Prodigy - They lost me at "Baby's Got a Temper"
 
The Police - Love them.
 
Sting - Apart from "Fortress Around Your Heart," he's a fatuous douchecake.
 Bush - Ridiculously indefensible, bad music.
 
Queen - Will always love them.

Ladytron - I should be more famililar with them than I am. I do love their cover of "Oops Oh My" by Tweet.
 
Les Rita Mitsouko - Not for me
 
David Bowie - up to 1.Outside
 
Bauhaus - Yes, of course.
 
Aphex Twin - He's made a lot of unlistenable stuff, but made loads of amazingly original music as well.
