Let it be noted that we have our first NOT CRAP vote for Guns 'n' Roses. I had no idea that it could happen. Short of throwing Depeche Mode into the mix, I thought that Guns 'n' Roses was the most incontrovertible CRAP band that I could list. I was wrong.

I think that now would be an appropriate time to end this thread.

Aerosmith: crap surrounding a Toys in The Attic kernel of corn
Beck: crap
Clash, The: not crap
Doors, The: crap, the lizard king could do everything but write and sing
Guns 'n' Roses: crap
Pixies, The: not crap
Public Enemy: crap
Smiths, The: crap
Who, The: not crap, close one though, I'm not a big fan of Dahltrey. Entwhistle and Moon, however; its like having god and satan in the same band.
ZZ Top: another tough one, though I don't feel they deserve point one for originality, they were good at what they did.
AC/DC: not crap
The Cure: crap
Siouxsie and the Banshees: not crap
Stereolab: not crap
Ministry: crap
Replacements: crap
Tom Petty: not crap, Mr. Petty is a very amiable chap.
Black Flag: not crap
Rollins: vain poppin out of your forehead crap
Van Halen: crap
The Cars: not crap
Jeff Buckley: not crap
Stevie Ray Vaughn & Double Trouble: crap
My Bloody Valentine: not crap
Dinosaur Jr: crap
Smashing Pumpkins: based on their albums alone they would not be crap, but I saw them twice and both times Billy couldn't hold it together vocally, so crap.
The Flaming Lips: not crap, Steve Drozd was a breath of fresh air on the kit when I saw them this spring.
devo: crap
Cheap Trick: not crap
The Velvet Underground: shiny shiny shiny boots of leather.... with crap all over them
Elvis Costello: not crap
Beatles, The: not crap
Black Sabbath: not crap
Bowie, David: not crap, and a class act ta'boot.
Dylan, Bob: not crap
Led Zeppelin: the opposite of crap
Nirvana: not crap
Presley, Elvis: pink crappilac
Rolling Stones, The: crap, They've made some very memorable records, but, save Charlie Watts, put on the worst pound-for-pound concert of any other band so highly revered.
Sex Pistols, The: not crap, based purely on T.V. interviews
Sonic Youth: not crap
THIN LIZZY: not crap
ABBA: cr-appa
TALKING HEADS: not crap, A guy like David Byrne only has two options in life...musician or serial killer. Lucky for us he picked up the axe rather than the hatchet.
hendrix: not crap
alice cooper: not crap, They play that old live video for the song Eighteen on VH1, gets me every time.

fugazi: not crap
radiohead: I'm a craap...I'm a floater
fleetwood mac: not crap
Frank Sinatra: crap
Tool: not crap
Lou reed: he falls into that same musician/serial killer catagory that I placed David Byrne. Lou would've made a much better serial killer. CRAP
iron maiden: crap
miles davis: not crap
rush: crap, Getty Lee irritates me so. I really hate Rush. It sounds like rock written from a very boring textbook.
peter gabriel: crap
peter gabriels genesis: crap
phil collins genesis: not crap
cab calloway: hidey hidey ho, bobbin in the the toilet bowl
paula abdul: She is the pinnacle of modern musicccccrrrraaaappppp!!! I'm not sure she even qualifies for crap status. More of a dingleberry, really.
michael jackson: crap, I feel sorry for him though. He never got the chance to be a man. Now he's the mental equivalent to a radioactive mutant child sit-com actor. A very talented mo-fo in '84.

Aerosmith: crap (except for "Mama Kin")

Beck: CRAP

Clash, The: not crap

Doors, The: CRAP

Guns 'n' Roses: not crap

Pixies, The: CRAP

I'm locking this topic. (It should have been done a long time ago.) Please post to individual topics from now on.

Thanks,
