That could be. I hadn’t heard of them before A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste, and I only know of Stigmata from the 120 Minutes CD. I hadn’t gotten into alternative music until late 1990.

[QUOTE=Argent Towers]  
I didn’t mention any songs in the OP at all, I just mentioned bands. And if you really think they actually hurt music…well, you can think that, but what’s the point of saying it, beyond threadshitting and being pretentious?

ETA - I don’t want to be too harsh…what kind of music do you like? Are you one of those people who only listens to jazz or classical, or The Beatles?

Sorry, hadn’t seen this.

No, I listen to all genres; I’m as obsessive about music as I am about movies. My iTunes, in which I’ve accumulated about a tenth of my music, includes 84 “genres” and 460 different artists.

(And by the way, my “hurting music” quip was a Marilyn Manson reference.)
