Why does everyone go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and etc
about K.B.She is good, but ........so?

Let's talk about the true gods of music;

The Waterboys ( I know you've never heard of them, they haven't sold too
	many albums .... BUT .... if you like R.E.M. ----> BUY IT  )

R.E.M.

Siouxsie  - it's funny to read in the past weeks about everyone who
	claims to know everything about the band and yet never have heard
	about Singles - It has H.K. Garden
		       Christine
		       Arabian Nights
		       etc

Simple Minds - It's Reel to Reel Cacophony
              Not   ^ea^    ^ea^
		I guess it's too much to ask people to read the covers of
 	their favourite bands releases.

Talking Heads - god-like , didja see Dave on David Letterman
       just goes to show that brilliant musicians can be goofs too.
	I saw them at the Kingswood a couple of years ago ( maybe last
        year and it was a religious experience )

Violent Femmes - What can you say about a band who, as a chorus,
	sing " Why can't I get just one kiss?"
	and degenerate to
	     "Why can't I get just one screw?"
	and then to
	     "Why can't I get just one Fuck?"
	( Whoops maybe I should ROT this, too bad this is my first
	article and I don't know how to do that yet).

Joy Division - makes New Order look like a bunch of disco
	wimp sell-outs, which they are.

Killing Joke - saw them at a Police Picnic ( great big
	concert in Oakville, had the GoGo's, Killing
	Joke, Nash the Slash, The Police, the last concert
	of the Specials ever, anywhere + 4 other bands that
	I can't remember, concert was okay, everyone
	hated Killing Joke - the fools )

Nine Nine Nine - wat a joke, everyone fell for it too

Iggy Poop - grand daddy of punk, he co wrote China Girl for Bowie,
	does anyone know if there is any truth too the rumor that they
	were " more than just friends".

XTC- why didn't ANYONE buy Mummer, it is great, weird but great.

oh i could go on and on but....
