You guys ever listened to Corey Feldman?

I've watched so much german trash tv where people sing that nothing on this planet can shock me

Apparently no one remembers Biz Markie.

Pink Floyd is underwhelming for a band commonly labelled as "prog rock". Most of their stuff is forgettable, albeit Alan Parsons Project came off it, so I guess it's not irredeemable if it inspired something genuinely good.

I have been fighting my way through the "1,001 albums you must listen to before you die' list, and there have been some truly terrible albums.

New York Dolls, debut album

Brian Eno, my life in the bush of ghosts

Marquee Moon, television

Slade, slayed?

Sugarcube, life's too good

Barry Adamson, Oedipus Schmoedipus

Animal collective, Merriweather Post Pavilion

Heaven 17, Penthouse And Pavement

And the worst album I have ever heard on my life, king of garbage music Lou Reed and his garbage band of notmusic and pretention: The velvet underground, The Velvet Underground & Nico

How has no one mentioned Tom Waits.

He has some good songs, but his voice sounds like a alley cat with a stomach full of garbage who won't let you sleep. I know that it's the point for some ppl, but I can't stand it.

He's on key and in tune though. Sane as Dwight Yoakum. You may not like their voice, but they are excellent singers.

Janis Joplin is I think the best example of cat screeching in tune, on beat, in key. I find her both great and near unlistenable.

Pearl Jam's cover of "Last Kiss" can fuck off forever. Turned me off the band for a solid decade.

I despise The Macarena in ways I cannot put into words.

As general commercial acts... probably Tad? They were a proto-grunge band that did nothing interesting and vanished once Nirvana took off. They tried being 'heavier than God's balls' and utterly whiffed at out-heavy-ing the then-struggling thrash-metal market. Honestly, not even Slayer thought they could top Reign In Blood, and it wasn't until 1994's apparently fantastic heroin glut that albums like Jar Of Flies and When The Kite String Pops started really challenging the limits of chugga-chugga music. Destroy Erase Improve reset the scoreboard in '95, but nobody noticed until years later.

This is an interesting analysis. 'Heavy' is a nebulous enough concept in music that being so definite with assertions like this is basically inviting contention. It can only ever really be a discussion as opposed to anything concretely absolute.

I didnโ€™t care for Last Kiss, but I did like that they released it for charity and made $10 million for Kosovo refugees.

Either Tom Petty or Geddy Lee. Both of their bands would be greatly improved if they didn't sing.
