there must be some pretty bitterly jaded, joyless indie kids out there voting on this thing.

[cant see over]

Recently I adopted a new policy on music and entertainment in general; I decided that I don't care what anyone else likes, you listen to whatever you like, watch the OC if you choose and as long as I can find the records that I like at the store, it's all okay. But this makes me want to kill myself... or whoever it is that thinks Korn is better than Cat Power.

Whoa, that's just crazy enough to work!! I adopted that same policy when I was thirteen, by the way.

C'mon, have you ever seen Cat Power live? It's a trainwreck, and not the good kind either...

I don't know who David Grubbs is, but he must perform abortions on stage or something to be listed twice...

[earl grey]

with JSBX in the top 5, i'm not sure i can trust these results....

I bet you like the new Liz Phair album.

Wow...that's a lot of voters who saw Chan on a bad night.

[Gerard]

if you combine the votes for "The Strokes" and "Strokes' they're a bit closer to the top.

[Susan Kirk]

I'm just glad the Lynnfield Pioneers didn't make the list.

[winterwooskie]

that is such a silly survey. but it is funny.

the problem is most people who voted for those bands probably went because they heard they were so cool as opposed to liking them to begin with and went instead because of the hype and were let down.

and if it were not for courtney flashing some poon i'm sure they would have made the top of the list.

Isn't Chunklet's raison d'etre to dump on indie music deemed "uncool" by Henry Owings? I mean, doesn't he pride himself on being an asshole? I can't say I've ever done much more than flip through a copy but it seemed rather relentlessly negative.

Oh, I think she's hotter now than she's ever been. But I've never liked her as a musician.

seriously, that many Chunklet readers actually saw W.A.S.P. live?

[Gerard]

I saw WASP at Crooklyn's L'mour in 1985. They were in the middle of a bill featuring Metallica and Armoured Saint.

The crowd really hated them. Blackie tried to win over the angry mob by throwing WASP posters into the front rows, but that really didn't do the trick.

...I wish I could say they played "Fuck Like A Beast" twice, but sadly, they only managed it once.

[winterwooskie]

too bad it was 85. i suppose that was too early for them to have had the song "the real me" by then probably. that was a good song i remembe but now it would just be hilarious.

they were such a niche-y band. did they really expect to get big by doing the faux-satanic thing while there were so many idiots who saw heavy metal and satanism as such bad things?

Considering it was a Who cover, there's no reason it couldn't have been played in 1985. They just waited until 1989 to put it on an album (The Headless Children).

[vi5]

Honestly, when would anyone have seen them live recently enough to have the memory of it be vivid enough to count them among a recent internet poll?

For some reason that both amuses and frightens me.

[winterwooskie]

that was a who cover? surprising since it is like the epitome of them in a way. funny that their swan song is someone else's. lol
