Is it sad that I instantly knew what this was without clicking?  I remember being shown this film IN SCHOOL. 

!!! is a terrible name band for a band, both for Google and life. 

I’m sure “The The” seemed very clever at the time.

Apparently, Chvrches spelled their name like that so it would be easier to find them in search engines.

Oh yeah, I remember after graduating high school I started my deep dive into either older music or less mainstream music because I was so bored with the homogenous post-grunge radio.

BTW, I graduated high school in 2003, and a ton of my classmates used Creed lyrics for their yearbook quotes. Made it extra funny when…

The Band never could have predicted the rise of search engines.

On behalf of my brethren In the bar business, I’d like to extend a sincere “screw you”. That being said, before I started working In bars I used to do this all the time. Personally I used to go for most depressing song though 

Jethro Tull kept changing their name because they kept getting banned from playing at various venues, and they just happened to have that name when they became successful.

I was at a bar years ago and someone set the jukebox to play Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’”. Twenty times. After five or six repetitions the owner unplugged and rebooted the machine while yelling that whoever did it better not ask for their money back or they’d be banned for life.

The highlight of 2020 for me was shouting “HOOBASTANK!” at the top of my lungs and having Usidore the Wizard look directly at me when he told us all to shut up.

I used to do this all the time at bars; as soon as I’d paid my tab, I’d slip a $5 in the jukebox and proceed to queue-up the absolute worst possible music I could find, and immediately leave.

I still have a theory that every largely-forgotten-outside-of-small-town-karaoke-nights 2000s radio rock band was the same band under different names, probably all brainchildren of Chad Kroeger, with different actors hired for videos and shows. If it weren’t for the occasional Audioslave or SOAD single to mix things…

All I remember about Hoobastank was being at a Social Distortion show, and some little dipshit near me going crazy, letting everyone know how much he loved Hoobastank (who btw were not part of that show). This was during Hoobastank's "peak". And yes, that mental image that popped up in your head about what this guy…

Chumbawamba’s pretty bad.

I got a Harry Nilsson notification for this?

It got a lot of criticism at the time, but yeah, that episode is great for both shows, managing to play to both of their strengths.  

I have never ever understood this widespread acclaim for The Smiths. To me, they are whiny pretentious predictable schlock.

This is a band that not only gets Pretenders singer Chrissie Hynde to join them on the FMDH song, but also the imperial Mr Ray Charles is featured on ‘Please (You Got That)‘, also on the FMDH album. That’s serious recognition of their talent and status as a true global rock’n’roll band.

Don’t know if this is urban legend or straight-up bullshit, but I read somewhere that INXS was supposed to be on the cover of Rolling Stone, but of course RS didn’t want INXS on the cover. They wanted Michael Hutchence on the cover because lead singer, amirite?

Apparently not.   Supposedly he told RS it was all of them…

Hutchence snuck “I am better than Oasis” into the backing vocals of Elegantly Wasted after Noel Gallagher infamously called him a "has-been" at an Awards ceremony.
