What makes any band the best is very much a personal preference isn't it?
What about Nirvana?
Foo Fighters?
Alice in Chains?

You could create a matrix of bands like a list of restaurants you go to. Reliable pedestrian fast-food (Burger King?), or sometimes a regionalised version (Mos Burger, local food court). Something a bit special from home vs everday (TGIF/Tony Romas/Dan Ryans), esoteric technical perfection that merits deeper consideration (the JPnese at Ritz-Carlton, Fat Cow, etc).

Different occasions vs different places perfectly fit the bill. Well, it's the same with music for me... :)

Why Texas an California?

That is because out of the 50 states, California represents 13% of the entire US economy. Subsidizing all these other freeloading states. Freeloaders, freeloaders, freeloaders....... :P
As shown above, California's economy is of a size that would justify its inclusion in the Group of Seven (or Eight) industrialized nations, were it independent. This is because California's economy is larger than that of two "G7" members: Italy and Canada.

[quote="sundaymorningstaple"]We're getting free advertising again on FB......

I did look up the above post :D

Apparently the guy who took the screen cap did it with great fear and in secret. All in the name of exposing the IB and such.

Now, guess what ? Those folks who are spewing such rubbish on HWZ just forgot who owns HWZ - and they don't know it is also possibly govt endorsed place to let out steam.

And in other news, The opposition has expressed severe disgust for the TRS editor being handed out 10 months jail for sedition, despite her being 8 weeks pregnant.

Even considering she got herself pregnant after the trial started just so she could play on the sympathy of the court? Nah, plenty of women have given birth in the slammer. One more won't matter. You play, you pay. full stop.
