I was never particularly fond of IPA. A peculiarly American mania, IMO. I'm afraid that I don't know most of the other bands. Well, I've heard of them, but I never paid enough attention on the radio back-announcements to associate them with songs. The Mountain Goats is definitely in that category for me. And now there isn't radio or back-announcements, so I guess that I never will.

Butthole Surfers

You spend your days telling your sons about that hardcore show you went to and met that guy who is still around and just as annoying. The photocopier appears to be redundant but paper is still easier to read than your new triple monitor set up at work. Why are there children in the tea room? The senior people in the office look too old to have childcare issues that they want to discuss endlessly.

Sorry to barge in, but does anyone know what the collective noun for conspiracy theorists is?

That’s a good one but not sure it fits with my sentence at the moment

This is great. Like the Wilco review. Surprised Radiohead didn’t make the list.

Pantera: fucking RIP yeeeaaaah!

Given that the two key members, the Abbott brothers are both long gone, that should be R.I.P.

For those special times when only southern-fried-groove-thrash will do.

Just don't tell T.H.C. -- Texas Hippy Coalition, as they believe they're the reincarnation of something that was, in the 90s, special.

How about AC/DC? I like to laugh at inappropriate times at totally inappropriate things. And bacon

I’m old AF. I don’t know any of those bands. How about Gary Glitter(pre pedo) or heavy metal Journey.
