    The Associated Press needs to be associated with a pressing machine.













    If you didn't get that, I meant the people should be put through the pressing machines and smashed.

    Worst. List. Ever.

    Worst list ever, got to agree with you.

    Metallica, a band that should go away?! What's going on with AP?
    Sanitarium, tour that should've been cancelled?! You're sick AP!

    And I don't really like GC, but they don't deserve this bashing.

    Definately, the Associated Press knows nothing about music.

    I actually like Good Charlotte a lot. I hate the fact that they are bashed all the time. It really annoys me. But it's going to happen to every band no matter what.

    I agree...I like Good Charlotte a lot, but all the "super elite" scenesters refuse to like anything that goes platinum...sigh.

    I actually though that the list was pretty good, other then that. I'm glad AFI was put in the Hall of Fame--their acceptance speeches were hilarious :) ("That's right suckas--I done graduated!" - Jade Puget, "...and thank you to my Mom for paying AP editor Mike Shea so we could 'win' this award in our twenties."- Hunter Burgan)

    Also, don't forget this was a reader-voted thing, so it's not the magazine picking these. They put Simple Plan on the cover of that issue :lol:

    I actually agree with just about every category on there...i like metallica a lot but i mean, not too many people do anymore and they arent getting any better. And Summer Sanitarium wasnt voted as the tour that should have been cancelled.

    Metallica shouldn't have been #1 in the Expiration Date thing, I mean come on. Aerosmith & The Rolling Stones are in there. Those two bands have been at it WAY longer than Metallica, and they constantly put out silly ####.

    I'd love to see At The Drive-In re-united, if only just to end the horrible Mars Volta. But I really would like to see ATDI back, if only as a side project.

    Hardcore becoming the next big trend is bad for that type of music, but awesome for the fans of music. If this happens, Glassjaw & other bands could be playing on MTV, which is always a good thing.

    I agree with Davey & Brody having the most style. Although, Brody cutting her mo-hawk really made me a sad panda.

    I loathe Good Charlotte, but one of the members (Benji?) would be a major star if he broke away from GC. And no, I'm not talking about that one that's always in the MADE sweatshirts. I'm talking about the one at the end of the Boys & Girls video. Yeah, the one that used to have the kickass mo-hawk.

    Uh, who the #### is Saves The Day? It couldn't have been as disappointing as Rancid or Metallica. Nothing is that bad.


    all in my opinion, of course.

    Yeah, that's Benji. I do see what you are saying though. I bet he could be somebody if he broke away from the band, BUT, I hope that doesn't happen...yet. ;)
