[kj] Band-o-rama

[Bette Dillinger]

David Bowie - If you aren't down with this guy then, sorry, but you're kind of a dick.
I absolutely agree.  He will be one of the only artists to be mentioned 50 years from now as influential.  A genius.

Fine...




My take on these bands: 
 
System Of A Down - meh... 
 
Phillip Boa & The Voodoo Club - who?
Marilyn Manson - some great songs and fun to see in concert.
 
Nine Inch Nails -- i have a soft spot for the Fragile. Kind of wish i didn't. The Prodigy - Don't really care. Smack My Bitch Up, Firestarter and Poison are all fine songs though.The Police - Some great songs. Truth Hits Everybody is a real gem of an anthem.
 
Sting - as if
 
Bush - *snicker*
 Queen - Yes, mostly. Now I'm Here don't get the respect that it's due.Ladytron - i tried with these guys but just can't seem to care.
 Les Rita Mitsouko - Sounds like world music which always sucks (just kidding). David Bowie - If you aren't down with this guy then, sorry, but you're kind of a dick.
Bauhaus - Haven't got around to checking them out yet. Someday...
Aphex Twin - One of my favourites. So many great songs. Leigh

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 themThe 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.
