The cover for that maxi-single CD is even better (shadow of two rhinos fucking in the sunset).

10 for me.   Mike Patton is a genius.

Nominate Blondie for next week.

Also, these two shouldn't be missed (especially his screams in Another Body Murdered):

I'm seeing Blondie with Elvis Costello in a few weeks.  Pumped.
 

They came to a casino the next state over a few years back and I was bummed I missed it.


Another fun Mike Patton fact for you hockey buffs- he was the witness signature on Dan Boyle's contract when he signed with the Rangers.
 

This one made me smile a bit (it's a Jay-Z and Kanye cover) :





Legend.  

Also I'd like to nominate The Birthday Massacre, mainly because I do think they are a great band, but I'm sure it's gonna have some polarizing opinions due to their more goth-synth-esq(?) vibe.

Plus they also did a FNM cover a couple years back, so they get brownie points solely on that.  

I had a t shirt of that in 7th grade. Good times.

Nominations
AC/DC (x3)
The Birthday Massacre
Blondie (x2)

Ween

 

AC/DC

+1 nominate AC/DC

10. One of my favorite bands. Patton is GOD. I nominate Ween.

Nah not really liking it. I like some with similar styles incorporated in their music, but not really this. Never heard of this group. Maybe ive heard a song or two just never connecting it with a name. Ive heard worse.

4/10


after listening to a few more singles i kniw a couple of those. I was born in 1986 so i was too young to hear this on the radio and didnt watch mtv till the mid 90s at the earliest.

I love ween
 

Oddly enough it was their satirical country album that got me back into classic country. Great band.

One of the best bands of the last 40 years easily.

Angel Dust is a timeless classic.

10. Love the intensity. Some really good songs and Angel Dust is a great, great album.

No nomination.

I really should make a requirement that all zeros and tens are claimed in order to count

Make ABBA a Music Debate topic at some point; the girls (the A's) were so cute and hot!  

Six of the "10" votes are at least claimed, and a few others that commented may have voted that way too.

A bit surprising, but maybe not with our crowd here?
 

And the Bs were musical geniuses; that music works as METAL ffs.
 

Yes, the B's had a major hand in making both of the recent Mamma Mia! movies and made cameos in both movies. But the A's were the lead singers most of the time and they were cute and hot  

I already did Satanic ABBA.  Regular ABBA has to wait.

 

Like have a requirement to post what # we set, right?

I claimed 10. 

 

I missed this.  Fitting, because Jesse Leach on Angel Dust:

“Angel Dust is still one of the most diverse metal/rock records you will ever hear. It pushed the boundaries of what you can do with a voice. Mike Patton had done it on previous records of course, but Angel Dust by Faith No More is the one that offered so much creativity to how a song could be written and what you could do with a voice. 

“I first heard it when I was just into high school. I just couldn’t get enough – I memorised all the lyrics, I used to sing it with my friends. It changed my life and the way I saw music – it made me excited to try new things as a musician. As a hardcore punk, all I did was scream, but this is the first band that made me want to sing, and figure out how I was gonna do that. 

“It changed everything – especially for people of my generation. If you drop Mike Patton’s name to any musician, it doesn’t matter if they’re a fan or not, they just have to respect the man, and that’s all due to Angel Dust. You get the Mr. Bungle fans of course, but to me it doesn’t touch Angel Dust – it’s by far Patton’s superior work, instrumentally and vocally.”

FNM  is the best of these polls so far IMO. Anyone catch the reunion tour?

Agreed. Man up if you vote zero.
