The Misfits

SOMBies Say:

"I listened to both Static Age and Walk Among Us tonight. Man. This band. This fucking band.

What kind of record label turns down Static Age, fuck. I hope somebody's ass got fired for that shit." - Pavement Ist Rad

"Only black chick I ever hooked up with was my waitress at the Michigan Avenue Bennigans. She liked the Misfits. I stopped calling her when she yelled at me cause I refused to fuck her in the ass without a condom. I'll miss Bennigans." - nobodies

Steve Reich

SOMBies Say:

"i first heard his stuff when i heard 'new york counterpoint' performed live in college with 23 clarinetists and haven't gotten enough since... i'm also a huge fan of 'eight lines' - i've gotten both of these stuck in my head before, so i'd say very accessible... and i also dig 'music for 18 musicians'" - jeremy c.

"I dont get you guys... do you actually listen to steve reich? Cause in sound class it was cool and while trying to figure out my own place in the music world, it was fun. But actually sitting down to listen to it.... or driving with it???? im not so sure..." - BGwaves

The Sword? What the hell? Nothing against them, but man, what a weird inclusion.

[Soundscape]

Paul, Thanks a bunch for the extension as my Blurb is coming along, but I definitely would have turned in a semi-final draft had I done so tonight. But I'm getting close and with my mix too.

I was about to post the exact same thing. Biggest WTF so far.

Pretty Girls Make Graves

SOMBies Say:

"This band loved to turn it up loud." - Red Lobster

"i'll get by as long as there is a final chicago show and i can get one last fix & one more photo op...but maybe just me and andrea only though...the other girl didn't seem too interested

When I post the sheet with all the point totals at the end of the countdown, some of the bands placing in this range will make a little more sense.

While this thread has been massively entertaining so far (outstanding work by Paul), a good many of the picks have been dead-on trainwrecks.

I guess it's symptomatic of the high-number outliers.

[77 or 88]

Who the fuck is Unrest, where do I start with them, and why did I think they were an electronic act? This sounds like something right up my alley.

look in the fishes.
i was curious, too

Patty Griffin

SOMBies Say:

"Excellent, excellent album! I think it's better than her last one...and that's saying something." - Saskadelphia

"Dylan wishes he could still do songs that great." - elcorazon

Marillion

SOMBies Say:

"I waited over 9 years to see Marillion" - Soundscape

[falling and laughing]

huh, the sword is super weird. I voted abba and the misfits - both too low! (actually I'm just glad the misfits made it)

[Bob Loblaw]

I don't know, I think Sparklehorse's ranking is pretty right on (and yes, Monty, I have heard them). Good band, but not top 100 material.

They belong up with where Portishead will rank.

As for the Jayhawks, they are the best alt.country band of the 90's, and yes, better than Wilco at their peak. But alt.country is completely ignored on this forum due it it's urban nature.

Montana is The Rural Juror.

[Saskadelphia]

I really need some Marillion albums.

Hanoi Rocks

SOMBies Say:

"One of the best shows I've ever seen was the Hanoi Rocks show I saw at the El Mocambo in Toronto mere days before the death of Razzle. Michael Monroe had a broken leg and Andy McCoy was right wasted, but boy oh boy, were they a powerful live band." - Gbro

"Cool to see a Hanoi Rocks fan here. Great band. Bangkok Shocks Saigon Shakes Hanoi Rocks is one of my favorite albums ever." - Pavement Ist Rad
