I Hate Interaction.
Some kid posted a thing about top favorite band artist type dealy thing way back when but I failed to respond and now it's too late so I figured I'd do my own post and let any one correct themselves.
The Stooges - Iggy's an unbelievable frontman/singer. James Williamson refines Stones-type guitar playing on Raw Power in a way that would shame King of Heroin Fiends himself. Ron Asheton makes that guy from the Kingsmen seem like Jimi Hendrix on the self titled disc (which might sound like a bad thing to any one who isn't me) but makes the guitar sound other worldly on Funhouse. Not to mention the fact that all eight songs on Raw Power could fit into my top five songs list maybe only squeezed out by "I Wanna Be Your Dog."
Neil Young - I own more albums by this dude than any other artist but I've never been bored or let down by him. You couldn't ask for more sincere and heartbreaking songs than "After the Gold Rush" and "I Am a Child" and "Don't Let It Bring You Down" or songs that rocked harder than "Like a Hurrican" or "Cowgirl in the Sand" or "Alabama."
Bob Dylan - I like poetry and I like rock and roll. Combine the two and what could go wrong?
Black Flag - If you aren't moved by the opening of "Nervous Breakdown" then you have no soul and if Damaged doesn't make you want to start a hardcore band circa 1980 and live off of dog food and bread then you are not punk rock.
The Who - Just getting back into them after a long, and sad, time away. Tommmy, pretentious concept and all, is pop masterpiece. Their early singles can not be beat by any one within miles. Quadrophenia is a mighty mighty record. They were a better live band than "the world's greatest rock and roll band" the Rolling Stones (compare Live at Leeds to Get Your Ya Ya's Out and there is no denying it.) Townshend was the world's greatest songwriter (if only he'd had his own counterpart ala Lennon-McCartney, I think they could have surpassed that team.) Entwistle and Moon are better than the dudes in Zeppelin or any other band you think to compare them to. And The Kids Are Alright is the greatest rockumentary ever made.
That's my list right now. It'll probably change around 4:30 tomorrow afternoon.

I'd probably say . . . (but in no order):
-The Mars Volta, for their spaced-out lyrics and winding guitars, and for making being high that much better.
. . . eh fuck it. This is taking me too damn long.
Haha. You typed one thing? That's funny to me.
I'd like to get some of that Pink Flaming. Sounds delicious.
They can't go there. It's only five bands and you already filled that. You got a problem take it up with Incassisssis.
