New bands come out and others become irrelevant. So, who are yours? Here is my list: 1 Rush 2 Afghan Whigs 3 Bob Mould / Sugar 4 Catherine Wheel 5 Mastodon 6 Social Distortion 7 Helmet 8 Ministry 9 Depeche Mode 10 Tears For Fears 11 The Smithereens 12 Tool 13 REM (Green and earlier) 14 Deftones 15 Genesis (Abacab and earlier) 16 Peter Gabriel 17 Mudvayne 18 The Cure 19 NIN 20 Porcupine Tree 21 Pixies 22 Placebo 23 Stabbing Westward 24 The Replacements 25 Swervedriver # 2 and 3 on your list are fantastic bands. In the mid 90s Black Love and Copper Blue were my favorite albums. Those are indeed incredible albums. I think Gentleman is slightly better than Black Love, but neither album has a bad track on it. Have you ever heard Beaster from Sugar? It's an EP and it's freakin amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanadoood Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 QUOTE (ILSnwdog @ Mar 23 2012, 05:59 PM) Wow. I'm surprised that there is so much love for Helmet! I didn't expect that. Helmet rocks. I just saw them back in the fall, and they sounded amazing...picked up Pages instructional DVD at the show as well..you wouldn't believe his jazz chops ! He is a seriously schooled player.

Powderfinger Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 It's cool to see Tom Petty getting a lot of love in this thread. I'm of the opinion he is one of the only great rockstar songwriters who didn't embarrass himself at some point during the 1980s. I mean, Let Me Up (I've Had Enough) isn't exactly a masterpiece. But it also isn't Glory Days. Point is, I equate him with integrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
