tough.

lush: for being forgetable and breaking up
rush: despite being lame in many different ways AND being canadians, i dont think they can tally enough negative points to be below ...
bush: who were a great idea for a marketing campaign, but not such a great idea for a band.


next up!

Paul Stanley

good answers

i would put lush last precisely b/c i cannot remember anything about them, exc. i think one of the singer ladies was japanese

ok:

ralph stanley sr., for he can sing 'o death' real real good and many many other things as well

paul stanley, for he has made me laugh very hard with his idiotic stage patter, attempts to jump in platform boots, mid-song ejaculations, missings of the high notes, etc.

stanley clarke, for playing the piccolo bass
===============
how about:

king crimson

king diamond

a remake of _king kong_ starring the olsen twins as one fay wray for each hand and russell crowe as king kong

Mr Chimp is exactly right in his rank involving Supertramp.

Tim, you have pulled the prototypical rank from the vaults and demonstrated -- you know that you and I have both listened to Rush in Chicago this weekend -- that the rank can change with the renewed appreciation brought by daily experience.

I would say

Rush, whose spirit of the radio sounded incredible to me on the radio in Tim's car (and who I have played maybe 100 times with my brother)
Bush, because they are apparently likable as individuals
Lush, only because someone has to come last -- I like a chord change in one of their songs

Bush, if the president, would be last on even those lists requiring ranks for the Eagles. In fact I would also say:

a lush, who is always there to be your friend
a rush, which is great but can lead to a panic attack
Bush, see above

The idea for the King Kong movie, at the top of maybe 95% of all lists
King Crimson, because in their late version Bill Brufford was so high on crazy time signatures that Adrian Belew had to play drums on the songs in 4/4
King Diamond, like Lush, because someone has to come last and I can't think of a story associated with them that makes me laugh as much as the thought of Bill Brufford incapable of playing in 4/4

Fake Italian accent, because she has made the career of Father Guido Sarduci and, like a white tablecloth and matching silverware, she can make ordinary language seem more beautiful and special than she really is
Fake Minnesota, because she is, to me, very charming
Fake Boston, because I hear real Boston every day

Bill Murray: for the obvious "lost in translation" nod.
Bill Stevenson: For being the 1st punk I ever saw, with a beard.
Bill Clinton: For having a Red Skelton clown nose.

RANK:

Fred "Sonic" Smith
Fred Frith
Fred Schneider
But I digress. Please continue with the squirrel circuit semantic debate.

Fred Schneider, for i like the b-52's more than mc5 and always will

Fred "Sonic" Smith, for he was in mc5 and i like this crazy loud sound on some of these songs by mc5

Fred Frith, for i guess he is pretty good guitar player? it's not something that has made me think about making love, unlike b52 or mc5. so he is last.

stack, this is inspired!!!

fish sticks, if you mean the food product and not the jam band from new hampshire (i am assuming such a group exists). if you eat them w/enough tartar sauce, you can pretend they are not assholes and eyeballs. the food product, i mean.

Styx, for their live reunion special on PBS is tremendous evening of entertainment. dennis deyoung, he is the tommy tune of rock. james young, he is the cowardly lion of rock. tommy shaw, he is the zzzzzz.

Phish, for who cares. this is frank zappa playing a loooong game of cribbage with quicksilver messenger service.
