Reply #48: My vote went to KISS but...

My heart said "all of the above". Steve Perry sounds like he's on the toilet. REO Speed-dealer is great if you drive a camaro and sell crank to kids out of the trunk. STYX is a pile of shit unto itself, as Dennis DeYoung and Tommy Shaw churned out consistently terrible wuss-rock songs and turned a former rock band into a Broadway-style puke-fest. Foghat...jesus christ. I can't even respond to that one. Rush and Yes and all of that prog-rock bullshit is just plain awful, because it supplants the soul of music with 18 minute solos and flashy examples of virtuosity. Boston's album covers look like something an acid head reading Asimov might paint (as does their logo). Foreigner was just sad. BTO has two songs that come to mind. You're a very sad person if you knowa third by heart.

This goes for Uriah Heap, King Crimson, Emerson Lake and Palmer, ELO, and any other band with the cojones enough to besmerch the name of rock n' roll with their pretentious/lame/boring/shitty music.
