I'd wear cowboy boots, a luchador mask, and a Pope costume
Dammit, Nickalicious, I expect you to be wearing that every day by default! Especially at work!
My own list: GC, blah, Misfits, rah, Iron Maiden, eh, Kix, I actually like the few songs I've heard from them and Steve Whiteman's interview with Metal Sludge is good fun so that counts for something.
As for Peter Green-era FM, try Then Play On...

And you have my sympathies Chuck, but that's what you get for writing damn good shit in 1990. I'd hate it if I still had to defend my belief that EMF was the 3rd best band ever (or INXS being 2nd), which I had in 1992.

Now that I mention it, John Mayall/ Bluesbreaker's *Bare Wires* feat. a young Mick Taylor, anyone??? Perhaps this deserves it's own thread.
BTW, who is Good Charlotte?

p.s. Siegbran is dead wrong about Kix's lyrics, by the way. Donnie Purnell's love of dirty puns was right up there with Bon Scott's, and Ally will be happy to know that they even have a song called "Kix are For Kids." (Corny!) But I'll print these instead; they clearly beat Iron Maiden to hell, though a fairer comparion might well be Morrisey:
Once upon a time in a deserted little townAn incubated boy was born and they tried to put him downDidn't have no muscles hereDidn't have no fatBut when he opened up his mouth ya heard the biggest trapThey called him big mouthBig trapLoud mouthMighty mouthHere comes the M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-Mighty mouthNo silver spoon, grew up too soon out on the dirtHe took a big deep breath and popped the buttons off his shirtHe's no zero oh he's a heroHe's every mother's dreamAnd all the boys could feel the noiseThey'd shake when they'd hear him screamThey called him big mouthBig trapLoud mouthMighty mouth

Surely, like I argue here with regard to other examples, they are merely the next in the series of anti-boy band boy bands? ;-)

"Hold On", replete with interview clips from "real" suicide "survivors". So tastelessly manipulative that it's offensive, and not in a good way either.
Dud, dud, dud.
