These are the ones I (somewhat) know. My ratings are mostly based on just one or two songs. (5 = Tops)

Rammstein - 4
Voltaire - 3
Marilyn Manson - 1

I'm surprised to find Duran Duran on your list. It just doesn't seem to fit in.
Nirvana are overrated. :P
Rammstein is actually pretty popular over here (although they never had a Top 20 hit).

Nirvana are overrated. :P


I agree.. but I enjoy a few choice songs quite a bit..

You reminded me I forgot Depeche Mode.

I don't know many enough to judge.

Ween - 5
Modest Mouse - 5
Duran Duran - 3 (Depends on the era.)
The Cure - 4
Nirvana - 2-5, depending on song.
Momus - 3-5, depending on song. "The Penis Song" is brilliant.

Cannibal Corpse - 5
My Dying Bride - 3.5
Depeche Mode - 2

Oh, I missed Beck. I love all of his stuff, except for Odelay, which I only moderately enjoy.

Nile - 2.5
Septic Auschwitz Angel - 5


Not a Nile man? I'm kinda surprised, to be honest.. they do get a little caught up in their own technicality sometimes, though, and it doesn't always come out enjoyable.

I didn't even know you knew Septic Auschwitz Angel..

The name.. alone.. gives them 5.

You know that's my own grindcore sideproject, right?

That's cool.

As I say - The name.. gave it a 5, straight away.

And going by that one track where the girl from the Grudge drank too much soda and the FL drums kick in while you whisper and scream...

Septic Auschwitz Angel - 2. =P

The "Humanity F--ked" cover..

;D It's funny you'd mention that, I created that song for the sole purpose of pissing off my band's guitarist.. that "Grudge" thing is a vocal style used in some types of grindcore (I thought I invented it, then found out people have been doing it for years) that Dave hates.. he also hates layered and pitchshifted vocals, gratuitously fast drum machines and sampling.. I combined everything I possibly could in one song to get on his nerves.. showed it to him without telling him I did it, and his reaction was "I.. am going to kill whoever made this."

Septic Auschwitz Angel isn't your cup of tea anyway.. nor is it intended to be anyone's cup of tea.

Marilyn Manson 4
Soft Cell 4
The Cure 3
Buckethead 5

"Shut Me Up," yes, it was an amazing video.

I've seen MSI's music videos.. tend not to like them.

Of course, they weren't all directed by Jhonen f**kin' Vasquez, Man. Think!

I am only aware of "Straight To Video" and "Shut Me Up"...the rest I've seen have just been live videos.

Yeah, those are the two... didn't care for either of them.. "Straight To Video" was good for an odd chuckle, but little else.. "Shut Me Up" just sucked..

I've seen some live MSI videos.. I get the impression they don't capture MSI's true spirit... mainly, the lack of the vocalist being naked and humping something, which I've been told is expected at all their concerts.
