**HomeSlice** tells me, > [@](#): > > Ok, Iā€™ve heared of like 1 of these bandsā€¦I must be too young šŸ˜ƒ Alackaday! Forsooth, 'tis I who am too old! Actually, maybe not. Itā€™s more likely that Iā€™m just pretentious enough to pride myself in an esoteric musical taste, including some stuff that **Iā€™m** too young for. Tom Waits: Still cranking out music ahead of his time. The Damned: The best first-wave punk rock band. Yeah Yeah Noh: Obscure (in the US) early 80s new wave. Railroad Jerk: Late 90s rock ā€˜nā€™ roll. Spaceman 3: Late 80s drone-fuzz. Mr. Quintron: Way cool New Orleans rock ā€˜nā€™ roll organist. And did I mention the Stooges? The godfathers of punk rock? ---

Rage Against The Machine. I know you all think that they are flaming hypocrite slumbag idiots who donā€™t deserve to breathe, but I like them. Besides, what other band has a Harvard-educated guitarist(Tom Morello)? ---

Definitely the \*\* Eagles \*\*. Don Henley is on my laminated list. The rest are really fine musicians, though whoever told Joe Walsh he could sing should be taken out and scourged. They sound as good live as they do in the studio. And did I tell you that Don Henley makes me swoon? \*\* Journey \*\*,for supplying me with background music for my jr. high and high school make-out sessions. (I know, I know, Iā€™m aging myself here.) \*\* Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band \*\* for putting 100% into every show. \*\* The Beatles \*\* are awesome. \*\*The Police \*\* ere good, too. ---
