The &^%$ing Cure gets bounced out right away and these 4 useless artists are still here!!! At least now I can vent my hatred somewhere else, VU has been cleared of my wrath. I hold these 4 accountable...
-4 Frank "Mutha&^%$ing" Zappa (How is this guy criticall acclaimed??? I'd rather listen to weird Al Yankovic for musical content!!!)
-3 Kraftwerk (Considering I like every band they've influenced, they have a place. But I hate their music, I would rather listen to cheesy 80's hair band like Winger and Ugly Kid Joe!!!)
-2 Leonard Cohen (I tried to get into his music but he just bores and annoys like a girlfriend who is always whining and crying about $hit!!!)
-1 The Band (The fact that they are still in and The Cure is gone is blasphemy, It's like saying Lindsay Lohan is a better human being that Mother Theresa!!!)
Elton's one of my favorites.
My friend just sent me an email saying "You Found Me" by the Fray is one of the best songs ever. I don't have time to look for a smiley face throwing up, so i'll just say it instead.
