- Note: I made a spelling error, because I got so into setting the world
- straight
- musical taste. I also accidentally forgot something. Def
- Leopard wins the prize as Best Chunky REally Sucky Butt Metal Group of
- the 20th Century.

-
-
- My friend and I have been reading the top 10 lists and couldn't
- help but laugh and/or pull out our hair at some of the rediculous
- choices. Therefore we have decided to make the definative top 10 list.
-
-
- First:
-
- My friend's list of favorite bands(no order):
-
- 1: FRANK ZAPPA ( A composer, not just rock musician )
- 2: Pink Floyd
- 3: King Crimson
- 4: The Beatles
- 5: Parliment ( Make my funk the P-Funk )
- 6: Simon and Garfunkel
- 7: Carlos Santana
- 8: Capitan Beefheart
- 9: Jimi Hendrix
- 10: Led Zeppelin ( Don't like 'em, but they were influential )
-
-
- I would like to point out that this list is composed of who I think
- are good rock players not who I think are the top musicians(except for
- Zappa who I included because most people think of him as a rock player
- not a musician.). I personally think jazz and 'classical' composers can
- blow rock players out of their assholes.
-
- (the above opinions are correct)
-
- Now that my friend is done, it's time for me to start. By the way,
- what is to follow is documented fact. It's in the Bible somewhere.
-
-
- Top Ten ButtMetal Bands
- 1: Poison
- 2: Bon Jovi ( one of the greats )
- 3: Warrant
- 4: Skid Row
- 5: GUN AND ROSES ( Axl take a bath; Slash get a haircut; band get
- some
- talent )
- 6: Tesla ( Five Man Acoustical Butt Jam )
- 7: Trickster
- 8: Motley Crue
- 9: Mr. Big
- 10: Extreme ('Nuff said )
-
- I'd like to thank Kiss who provided the inspiration for these
- "MEgastars" to strive to become what they are today.
-
-
- Top Ten Just Plain Sucky Bands ( above list included )
- 1: Nirvana ( Look ma, I can play bar chords )
- 2: Ugly Kid Joe
- 3: Slayer
- 4: Megadeath
- 5: Metallica
- 6: Red Hot Chilli Peppers ( New album sux like a Hoover )
- 7: AC/DC
- 8: All of the the bandwagon "Alternative" crap!! You know who you are
- 9: Queen
- 10: Led Zepplin ( Carries one riff one step too far )
-
- Now there is no need for a Top 10 list of the greatest bands in history.
- THere exists only one. PINK FLOYD has been ordained by God the Father,
- the Son, and the Holy Ghost as the official band of humanity. If you
- dare think otherwise, don't be suprised if someone makes your lawn die.
- You pissed God off so you pay the price.
-
- Any comments by you people are more than welcome. If you are a
- Queen fan, don't bother, I have better things to do.
-

- Your friend,
- Michael Swietek (msce+@Andrew.cmu.edu )
