So I guess that the header for this forum implies that we can't bash people joining our message board in order to promote their crap local bands. Oh well. Whenever they do, I'll try to contain myself, probably by re-reading the Lurve thread.

Anyway, to launch this new forum, list your top 5 bands/solo artists of all time. Only 5, please.

In no order

Fluid Ounces, the Features, the Beatles, REM, Mike Watt

My top five:

The Beatles

Paul McCartney/Wings
The Strokes
The Monkees (don't listen to them much anymore, but I will always love them)

i was thinking the same thing. it would probably include the clash, the beatles, the jam, joy division, and a fifth band to be named later...

Exactly, I thought the fifth band would be a toss up between Bowie, Pavement, and The Kinks.

um, excuse me? Those are not your top five bands. Once again, there is no Clash, and I know they're number 1 or 2...definitely above pavement. And...The Kinks are above The Beatles? I know you love them, but really...do you love them more? Just seems a little fishy to me.
