On the Hunger Dunger Dang vocal style that Yow talks about here, I personally don't like it (the vocal style got old in 1997), but there were two very good reasons why every second band in rock it seemed had a lead singer with that type of voice -

Yeah, whats misogynistic about a song about the Dickhole of a lead singer taking advantage of a Meth Addict and fucking her when shes totally wasted?

Fave part of that interview? Comparing his band to Fugazi.

Found out about you has more depth, soul and balls than all the records made by post 98 GGD, BTE, and Matchbox 20 put together. The Gin Blossoms first record is a pretty good slice of big star esque power pop.

Don't forget its crude, brain damaged cousin, Douche Metal (Trope Codifier - Limp Bizkit)

Its also quite funny too, here are one of the most ernest and histronic bands of all time, with a hugely overwrought song about the circle of life, and thats the second line - how can you take it seriously after that?

Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam were all hard rock bands, and they did transcend the whole hard rock must be dopey and shallow ethos (As did Guns n' Roses, Living Colour, Fishbone and Faith No More, though Fishbone and Faith No More did have a goofy side).

Steve Albini is a Douche, and he prides himself on being one. Its what makes him a great Producer (Sorry, Engineer).

Walk on the wild side is great, Semi Charmed Life just grates.

Santana, in the first part of their career (or should I say, his) were one of the best bands on the planet, from 1968-1973 they were awesome, Abraxas and Caravanserai are both brilliant records. They got worse as years passed by, ending with the awful records from 1999 on.

Yeah, the hurdy gurdy man. The cover by the Butthole Surfers.

Thanks everyone, now to start the journey.

Ive heard a few songs by this dude, where do you start with his catalogue?

Yeah. That would be like setting off an A-Bomb at Oppenheimers funeral, both are great evils released onto the world.

Hey Soul Sister. Is there any worse sound to be sent of to by than that coming from the blasted voicebox of that Douche from Train?

The chorus to that song makes it a pretty bad choice for a funeral. "May-ye-yeh-yeh-meybe, I didnt mean to treat you oh so bad, but I did it anyway". Not the best line for a funeral song.

Ween, Push the lil daisies. It was listed in a list of worst funeral songs on this website, but is does give the impression of two demented gremlins dancing on your grave, so that would be a good choice I feel.

The video is pretty good, but would suit the Butthole Surfers so much better, its wasted on the Arctic Monkeys.

Its a bit hard to see that, considering its a bit hard to make out how many women are in the net. The halo is a bit hard to see the first time around as a halo, and considering its not as fucked up (well, it is pretty fucked up, but in a different way) than a Bosch painting, its hard to see the similarities, and that
