[kj] Band-o-rama

[Karen Weil]

My take on these bands: 

System Of A Down - Not a big fan, but love their passionate spirit, their melodic ways and speaking out on Turkey's role in the Armenian genocide. 

Phillip Boa & The Voodoo Club - Ehhh...

Marilyn Manson - No; that train has sailed

Nine Inch Nails -- Powerful; important 
 
The Prodigy - Overrated.

The Police - Never a massive fan by any means, but saw them in concert 

Sting - Not really

Bush - The band and president are both massive disappointments
 
Queen - Hey, it's Queen! What more can you say? 

Ladytron - Too chilly for my tastes
 
Les Rita Mitsouko - Don't know them.
 
David Bowie - He's a legend for a reason. 

Bauhaus - A few great songs, but they owe a lot to Bowie

Aphex Twin - Groundbreaking, if occassionally painful to listen to.

  System Of A Down - I appreciate them as a band and what they say.  But the fans are asses.
  Phillip Boa & The Voodoo Club - Neva heard of 'em...next!
  Marilyn Manson - Again, the fans annoy me more than the actual artist.  But I have no reason to ever listen to him.  
   
  Nine Inch Nails - Early record are good.  Why bother now.
   
  The Prodigy - I can enjoy them but I would not miss them

  The Police - Yes. But from years of classic rock stations I don't care if I ever hear Roxanne ever again.

  Sting - Fuck off and take your kids to soccer practice while drinking a double chai latte.  In other words he sucks personally and musically.

  Bush - Are they still around?  Are they worth mentioning?  Is it even worth commenting?  Isn't there only current claim to fame is being married to someone else more famous?
   
  Queen - Always enjoyable.

  Ladytron - I like them.  Saw them once.  But hasn't drawn me in to buy anything or become a "fan".
   
  Les Rita Mitsouko - Who? What? Where? Why?
   
  David Bowie - Will always love Bowie.  Even in his lows.
   
  Bauhaus - Everything was splendid until the reunion.  And then the last record came out.....
   
  Aphex Twin - I really don't know him well enough to comment but every time I listen it seems different then the time before.  I understand why people like him/them.

  Okay, I'll play too:
  System Of A Down - I like a few tracks, but they're ultimately too silly for me.
   
  Phillip Boa & The Voodoo Club - I am not familiar with their work.
   
  Marilyn Manson - Not very original and SLAVISHLY overrated, but a smart gent to be sure.
   
   Nine Inch Nails - Love the early records, but can't be bothered now.
   
  The Prodigy - They lost me at "Baby's Got a Temper"
   
  The Police - Love them.
   
  Sting - Apart from "Fortress Around Your Heart," he's a fatuous douchecake.
   Bush - Ridiculously indefensible, bad music.
   
  Queen - Will always love them.

  Ladytron - I should be more famililar with them than I am. I do love their cover of "Oops Oh My" by Tweet.
   
  Les Rita Mitsouko - Not for me
   
  David Bowie - up to 1.Outside
   
  Bauhaus - Yes, of course.
   
  Aphex Twin - He's made a lot of unlistenable stuff, but made loads of amazingly original music as well.

            Ahem the only band she lists that I rate highly is Aphex Twin and he ain't on band.
            Ladytron are quite good.
