Maybe Mary's bitterness to Stipe/REM is just a front for her ahem...'habits' then? I was going to post this pic of Mz Galas to show her 'feminine' side, but she still looks like a man. Oh well. She's smart & has shiny hair. Qualities we should all aspire to.  |

War is the only good U2 album. The Smiths were boring. So were the Clash. War sucks. The Smiths are really overrated...so are the Clash but to a much lesser extent. |

Is Diamanda of Greek heritage? She looks it, and that name sounds really Greek too. Come to think of it, she looks like a possessed version of Maria Callas. yep. raised in a greek orthodox family too. she "rebelled" - to understate things considerably. (greek-american, though. she grew up in san diego.) Figured as much. Her resemblance to Maria Callas is uncanny. Unless Diamanda is purposely going for that look with tons of make up. Does she have a soprano voice too? |

The Smiths are boring if you're a well-adjusted person, yeah. Besmirching U2's good name makes Bono cry  |

If you must listen to U2 it should be Achtung Baby or Unforgettable Fire. Honestly one of the greatest hits would do plenty.

the only thing deep purple ever gave the world was the world's most irritating, impossible-to-get-out-of-your-fucking-head riff.
jimi hendrix can certainly play a guitar like a demon, too bad he never plays anything worth actually listening to.
NIN were cool when i was in high school but you should be ashamed of yourself if you still enjoy subpar adolescent angst poetry.
i forgot about the talking heads when i was considering other bands as boring as r.e.m.

War and Achtung Baby and part of the Unforgettable Fire are the only good U2 albums. What? No love for the Joshua Tree? It's only their second best album (after Achtung). The last two have kinda stunk though. Even POP had its moments, but the last couple sound like they could have been co-written by Richard Marx. |

Here's a few off the top of my head ... I may even agree with a few of these.
The Kinks really weren't that good. Aside from a few noteworthy singles, their rep is vastly over-stated.
Gang of Four made one great album, and should have broke the fuck up after that. For a band that made one decent album, they were better than the Sex Pistols, but probably not as good as the Stone Roses.
Johnny Cash recorded the same album 42 times, and it was predictable every single time.
Black 47 were the greatest Irish-American punk/hip-hop/anthem band. The fact that they are the only band in this genre speaks volumes.
The Finn Brothers total musical output is better than the total musical output of Misters Lennon and McCartney.
The Rolling Stones are just a mediocre band who were in the right place at the right time in the sixties. You could've had five stuffed shirts acting vaguely menacing and they would've gotten the same acclaim.
Any rock song that lasts more than six minutes has some form of wankery involved.
Instrumental wankery is worse than lyrical wanking, which is why Yes suck and Bob Dylan doesn't (all the time).
Bob Dylan and Neil Young both need people to tell them "What the fuck are thinking? This SUCKS!" The fact that neither has such advisors explains the last album from each.
Neil Young can't sing.
Michael Stipe is a sexy beast.
Oh wait, that last one might be true!

Does she have a soprano voice too? diamanda definitely tries to channel maria callas in every possible way, so probably makeup-wise too. but she looks very greek regardless. i'm honestly not sure if her voice is soprano. because she sings in like 4 different octaves. |

TOOL is about as good as Pink Floyd. Which is to say, not that great.

Pet Sounds is better than every single Beatles release.
