View Poll Results: Does John Peel deserve to make the Hall of Fame?
This is seriously one of the coolest pictures I have ever seen.
Yeah Thurston has the ultimate hipster blank stare, with the classic Wayfarer sunglasses as well.
It's the picture on the inside of the little booklet you get in a CD when you buy Daydream Nation. I'm glad I found it online, because it took me a while to find it.

Since their formation in 1997, The Dillinger Escape Plan have been, in my opinion, one of the most groundbreaking, unique, and mind-blowing bands out there. They were a pioneering band in a ridiculously-named metal subsubgenre called "mathcore" which is an experimental, complex, variation on metalcore. Their debut album "Calculating Infinity" is now considered an experimental metal classic. After the departure of original vocalist Dimitri Minakakis, The Dillinger Escape Plan and Mike Patton collaborated in 2002 to create "Irony Is A Dead Scene", a unique Mike Patton twist on the band's original sound. In 2004, the band released "Miss Machine" (with new vocalist Greg Puciato) which saw the band incorporate many pop elements into their sound. This continued onto their 2007 (masterpiece) "Ire Works". Throughout their career The Dillinger Escape Plan has recieved wide critical acclaim for their music. The band is known for their wild and engaging live shows, powerful vocals, complex instrumentation, and experimental edge. I feel that this band deserves to be in the hall of fame because of their many artistic merits, their originality within their genre, their popularity among metal and hardcore fans, and I feel that that they are one of, if not the most deserving metal bands out there.
Alot of times I don't have enough interest or knowledge in the bands put up here to justify choosing. I read the thread, but usually just sit back and leave it to other members who I know are much more knowledgeable, and will make good cases. In DEP's case though, I have to jump in and offer a yes(!) vote.
Amazing band that is constantly evolving and staying fresh from album to album. Calculating Infinity is indeed legendary and easily one of the best math rock albums ever released. As they've pushed forward over the years, they've evolved. Evolving sound is usually a scary term for fans, but so far Dillinger always has it under control and released nothing but top-notch material. They never fail to please, whether you're seeing them live or just listening to the album.
