What image am I trying to project, exactly? I'm not the one who asked a high schooler for a thread idea.

No. You're just the one who spent thirty minutes typing a reply to said high-schoolers thread idea. I'm seventeen.

I just wanted an excuse to talk about how much I loved man or astro-man and find out why other people felt so strongly about some of their favorite bands. If you explained your selections in detail it would make for a better thread. I honestly want to hear your reason for Ministry being on your list.

Because he's into guys.

I actually liked that Lard stuff so I can't talk.

that's my favorite album of all time but pil as a band are not even close to the top.. too much crap after 1983 or so, this is what you want...was their last good release, imho.

of course, one could say that about the fall too.

Today it is the Laughing Hyenas.
Usually it is Scratch Acid and sometimes the Birthday Party.

Hahaha, I was just fuckin' around. I came up with that list in a couple of minutes.

Ministry's one of my favorite bands because of the strange direction Al Jourgensen took to making music. First it was cheesy, new wave. Then it turned into a hard-beat industrial project, after that, into a head-pounding electro/punk band. Now it's seizure inducing metal. How can I go wrong with Ministry? Every side-project the guy's had, was great, from Pailhead with Ian Mackaye, to Lard with Jello Biafra.

You've got the screen-name "Sphincter", and I'm into guys? Is your name a comment on the way you look?

I actually think it could be better than Entertainment!, especially with the Another Day, Another Dollar EP tacked on at the end. Andy Gill was one hell of a guitarist...

Two different versions of "To Hell With Poverty!", which is too fucking badass. The second one is from 1983 with Sara Lee on bass, but it is still really ass-kickingly awesome despite everything I've been told about Go4 going to shit after Dave Allen left. As a side note, what kind of guitar is Andy Gill using in the second video? It looks interesting...

I agree with every single word of this post.

-A

PS- They did go to shit after Dave left, but that doesn't mean this performance isn't good.

Do you think there was a causal connection between Dave's departure and them turning to shit?

I don't have a favorite band; there are five or six that I've listened to a lot and revisited often over time. (I omit the list so as not to offend.) I invest albums, songs, and parts of songs with enormous significance and value, and find thinking about favorite music more interesting than refining a personal canon of bands.

Hey. Awesome. One of my best friends is a rabid fan...I'm pretty sure he has their entire official catalog. He is also homeless, so I am storing it for him...at the price of being allowed to listen to it. He/they are pretty fantastic, for that thing they do...

Do you like their new album?

No, not that one, the other one.

No, the other one.
