Stranger Than Fiction Week 29
Alright, so I didn’t get on the news train this week quite like I wanted to. I blame these guys.
Only because blaming Half Baked has been played out. Also, he provided some mixtape goodness, so I can’t pester him. This time.
This week I bring you:
THE TOP 5 BANDS I USED TO LISTEN TO THAT I’M EMBARRASSED TO ADMIT NOW
Because we’ve all had them and my frontman article isn’t done yet.
HONORABLE MENTION: BARENAKED LADIES
I used to play their “Rock Spectacle” cassette until it snapped and would happily sing and dance along. I’m past that now, thank God. I’m not overly embarrassed though because they play instruments and aren’t actually that horrible.
#5: PROZZAK
Laugh it up, go ahead. I know it’s awful. The songs got stuck in my head often. Often enough that I ended up picked the fucking album. I’m not proud of it either, let’s move on.
#4 BIG & RICH
It was hard to get away from the song “Save A Horse, Hide A Cowboy”. Radio, television, every bar and resturant you could think of. Much like Prozzak, it got so damn viral that I had to buy the album. Yes it’s country and no I’m not happy about it. Onward!
#3: Stone Sour
The only thing that puts this steaming turd behind numbers two and one is that, well, you’ll see.
#2: MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE
I would get into arguments with MSI fanboys over their music. To this day, I’m not sure why. I can’t stand them anymore. I can’t sit through either albums of theirs that I own. The hot bass player is married to Gerard Way too. Augh!
#1: Slipknot
So if you visited the Tank in the past, you would have known and probably been annoyed with all the Slipknot coverage. Because I was a fanboy. A horrible, horrible, fanboy. It makes me cry. Don’t worry, it all stopped once I picked up “Reign In Blood”.
That’s it for this week folks. Remember, only cats lick the butter sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. Just look at my previous musical tastes.
