factoring in Bon Jovi being “the nicest guy” to boost his ranking and then moving to the “we’re talking about just the music” with Brand New is a hilarious switch up

2:34:22 All you need to know about Ween is that they snuck into a storage space where Carlos Santana's equipment was being held and recorded a guitar solo using his guitar, pedals, and amp. They were in and out in less than ten minutes. It was used on the album version of "Transdermal Celebration" and its one of the greatest guitar solos in Ween's catalog.

I was letting it all go by the wayside for a minute but Bloc Party is not rock but Arctic Monkeys is?? They're from the same era of British indie that demonstrated how social media (Myspace and the like) could explode a band overnight.

[@Holy_Frakula]

The Pixies is a weird one. I think it's really a time and place thing. Got into em when I was young from an indie rock guy I was friends with and they were a friendship band for us. Now they're super nostalgic for me. I can see how it'd be hard to get into them if u didn't grow up with it. Although Where is My Mind is a banger to anyone. The end of Fight Club....sheesh!
