Post your favorite rock band. I'll tell you they suck no matter what.
If you're lucky, I'll make up a reason why.

7. She is not in a rock band, but it is some good music
Phrygian Sky

Mummers Dance
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PtdCCNM0pc

Lyrics to The Mummers' Dance :
When in the springtime of the year
When the trees are crowned with leaves
When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew
Are dressed in ribbons fair

When owls call the breathless moon
In the blue veil of the night
The shadows of the trees appear
Amidst the lantern light

We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
we bring a garland gay

Who will go down to those shady groves
And summon the shadows there
And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
In the springtime of the year

The songs of birds seem to fill the wood
That when the fiddler plays
All their voices can be heard
Long past their woodland days

And so they linked their hands and danced
Round in circles and in rows
And so the journey of the night descends
When all the shades are gone

"A garland gay we bring you here
And at your door we stand
It is a sprout well budded out
The work of Our Lord's hand"


Although she has different beliefs then me, I understand her song.

4. They suck.
It's as if Jerry Garcia had been the front man for the Beatles.

Except that Jerry Garcia had done all those drug before he learned to write music and wrote anything good.

That bad my friend.

That bad.

17. Thank you
At least you didn't mention the fact I smell really bad. I haven't washed my flannel since 1992, which is cool. My shirts don't need hangers, they stand in the corners by themselves!

Otherwise it would eat the cat.

35. Sixteen years of coughed up hairballs, spittle and kitty drool
has made my wardrobe what it is today, you young fool (hey that rhymes)

Me and my army of cats fully intend to take over the world soon, accompanied by a soundtrack consisting of only The Wipers, The Fall, and Hawkwind (before 1978)

40. All I'm saying is
I like rhythm. And rhythm is after all the infernal beat of hell. Maybe for the fourth I'd add the Flesheaters...Pat Robertson was appalled by their very name... "Satan's Stomp" is a good tune, wouldn't you agree? I also like their offshoot band, The Divine Horsemen... I like bands with equine names. I think in the future many of us will be riding horses in order to get around.

15. Kiss requires an explanation for their suckitude.
First off their music sucks. Not even in the context of their era, like say they way Alice Cooper sucks. No, they just suck. But instead of accepting their shame, and playing in their sucky way they tried to confound their listeners by applying makeup. It worked, but only because their makeup sucked so much worse than their music it forced the minds of those exposed to such failure to shut down in despair, leaving only the primal parts of the mind awake, the parts that deal with breathing and taking a dump. weakened, unable to discern right from wrong, people mistakenly believe they like KISS.

16. My namesake.
If you know who they are, it's highly doubtful you'd ever think they suck.

If you don't you have no basis for an opinion, but what the hell. :P

18. This is tough.
Musically, I'm inclined to agree, but here's the problem: I promised to tell you they suck. So I went and took a look at some videos and you know what? Their hair. That's right, you heard me. Their hair. GO LOOK AT IT!@@@!

They suck.

24. The Beatles were nothing more than silly hair on silly people.
A recipe for success at the time. Honestly, if I had gone out and killed a raccoon, put it on my head, grown sideburns, and maybe a thin mustache, pranced around like a British school boy on his first overnight away from mummy, and worn my sequin studded band outfit while doing so, I would have been the Beatles. Or the Ruttles. Or something.

Anyway, I'm wandering. They suck.

Hence, Bread sucks by 'suck by association'.

31. They suck because they added dumb lyrics to otherwise decent guitar riffs
and good drumming.

But then the lyrics! And singing!

SUCK.

33. I've heard the Skinner, Elad, and EarlG trio, otherwise know as 'See', and they can't harmonize.
They are really bad.

I demanded my money back, but their manager had already fled the scene with the evenings receipts.

38. Frank Zappa sucks because some douche will harsh your stoned mellow with it.
Edited on Thu Nov-13-08 10:04 PM by mainegreen
They'll stick it in the stereo and proceed to talk the whole time, talking about what a 'genius' Zappa was, periodically stopping to ask if you're listening. As if you could over their yammering.

The Talking Heads are actually pretty good. Dumb band name though. Should have been 'The Singing Heads'.
Idiots.

54. That aspect of his life is not enough to make me stop listening to his music.
I want no part of Scientology, personally, and I know they've done some pretty messed up stuff. But, that's true of nearly every religion.

As long as Beck doesn't use his music as an overt means to try and pull people into his "church", I won't let it bother me.

I'm going do your suggested Google searches now and hope what I read doesn't force me to take back everything I've just said. :P
