why THE F*CK is Mickey Avalon on your list? ..and key indie bands like Pavement, Dinosaur Jr, Yo La Tengo, Sonic Youth..ectectectect... are NOT?!

I like alot of the artists on your list, but seriously, this fails.

..and the new CSS album sucks big time. The Fratellis WTF?

Piss Me Off · 08-19-2008, 03:50 PM

I think overall it's an okay list, obviously people are always going to have problems with it and bands are going to be left off. I'm guessing it's mostly newer stuff which would excuse the fact Sonic Youth, Pavement etc aren't on there.
Although that Fratelli's vote, tssssk....

Isn't Interpol on a major record label? Still this list is ok but barely.

jackhammer · 08-19-2008, 05:41 PM
