You don't really expect anyone to believe that Motorhead is better than
Einsturzende Neubauten, do you?  What has Motorhead ever done that's
worthwhile?  (Besides giving their fans permanent hearing damage...)
Lemmy should have had better sense than to get kicked out of Hawkwind, a
group that does know how to make good music.

Einsturzende Neubauten is very good!  They may not do much with melody
and harmony, but they do know how to get some pretty intense and
complex rhythms going.  And they sure do understand Angst.
