In no particular order...

That seems a bit clueless... Ramones as a novelty act, X as prog, whatever.
the Eagles suck.

Ah, fuck that guy, he was a know-nothing twat oft the highest order. I'm glad he's dead. To us I mean.

Scratch Acid and Husker Du are first rate. I could have picked Huskers for my list. They're as important to me as a band can be. Nomeansno, DOA, you could fill a book with incredible and inspiring bands that that guy thinks are not any good.
