Nope. I never liked them or the industrial stuff.FireOnTheMountain wrote:Hm, maybe Kaiman or Matt could explain Skinny Puppy to me....
It'd be easier than explaining the genius and talent of Phish to Shitles, though.
From two artists mentioned here in the thread:
"How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?"
"Mellow is the man who knows what he's been missing. Many many men can't see the open road."
And, Kaiman, lol at the Meatmen. "We're the Meatmen and You Suck" has to be the best album title ever.

Re: Your Top 5 Bands and/or Musicians of all Time
Nice to see The Illustrated Man (Johnny Winter) get some love here - he's probably one of the most underrated slide/blues guitarists to come out of Texas, IMO. I also had the chance to see Gary Clark Jr perform at the Chicago Blues Festival last summer (which happened to be going on the same weekend I was in town for my cousin's wedding), and I was blown away! Definitely up there with the greats.montanahiker wrote: Johnny Winter

The first Ministry album was brilliant and the second one was pretty damn good too. There, I said it.kaiman wrote:Personally I never really got into the industrial bands like Skinny Puppy, Ministry, etc. That being said, the founder of Ministry, Al Jourgensen (who grew up in Breckenridge), is an interesting guy and I met him once in the early 90's when he was hanging out at Wax Trax records in the Capitol hill neighborhood of Denver.FireOnTheMountain wrote:Hm, maybe Kaiman or Matt could explain Skinny Puppy to me....

Re: Your Top 5 Bands and/or Musicians of all Time
Definitely not putting down Ministry. Those guys are super creative, and helped develop the whole Industrial genre of music. They just never appealed to me as much as the other music I was listening to during the same era and wouldn’t be at the top of my list.brichardsson wrote:The first Ministry album was brilliant and the second one was pretty damn good too.

Re: Your Top 5 Bands and/or Musicians of all Time
Lots of good bands already mentioned. For my undrafted, best available picks, I'll go with:
Howlin' Wolf
Buffalo Springfield
Lucinda Williams
J.J. Cale
Townes Van Zandt
Honorable mention: Tedeschi-Trucks band - since the very worthy and well deserving Allman Bros. band has already been drafted.
