Ratings key: 
10 - One of your very favorite artists of all time.
9 - Killer fucking band.  Or artist.
8 - Great sound, great songs, great albums.
7 - Very good, but not quite great.
6 - Pretty good.  More than a few songs you like.  You'd entertain the thought of seeing them live if they were in the area.  Or still alive.
5 - They're okay, but maybe not something you'll go out of your way to listen to.
4 - Meh.  There may be a song or two, or an album that you dig, but you'd rather listen to other stuff.
3 - Not very good.  You will more likely than not turn the station if they come on the radio.
2 - Not your cup of tea at all.  Some people like this, but you are not one of them.
1 - Horrible in every way.
0 - In the running for worst artist/musician of all time.  You would rather take a cheese grater to your face than listen to this.

You're gonna need to specifically name a group

I’m not a fan but that’s a solid nomination. They’ve maintained consistency throughout their career which is rare.

The Misfits is a good choice. Suicidal Tendencies if you want a bigger name skater punk. Bands such as Discharge, GBH, and Bad Brains would probably be too obscure for most people. 

5/10 never really got into Ghost a little to emo for me. They remind me of Bullet for my Valentine. If I want evil Mercyful Fate and Slayer are better options.

I love Ghost. One of the few modern bands I can enjoy. I really enjoy the variety in their sound and theatrics. The "show" has really been lacking in most modern bands, save a few. It harkens back to the Alice Cooper/Kiss/Pink Floyd shows where its a whole experience rather than just a bunch of dudes standing around on stage

edit: I guess I'll pick Foo Fighters just at random. I don't really listen to any of those listed

2.

Guess I'll nominate King Gizard and Lizard Wizard cause the name is fuckin goofy.

Glad to see some people like King Diamond/Mercyful Fate, as far as metal goes it's definitely top 3.

Ghost is nothing like either of them though.

Final thoughts, all my sentences started with G which is kinda cool.

Ayy yoo pizza bie!

Never listened to Ghost. I think I've heard He Is before though. Based on the songs posted I'm going:

6 - Pretty good. More than a few songs you like. You'd entertain the thought of seeing them live if they were in the area. Or still alive.

I'll nominate Lordi.

I'll nominate Lush, lead singer Miki Berenyi was allegedly an avid Game Boy player and there's even a couple of pics of her and her Gameboy, one of them taken in backstage at Lollapalooza '92:

This is a Nintendo forum, need to say more?  

Shoegaze bands tend to be overlooked for the most part, and Lush is one of the most well known shoegaze bands in the 90s.

Also since a lot of you guys seem have a thing for metal, there is a song by Lush that in my opinion is as metal as classic shoegaze can get:




Thanks for your consideration!
