This thread is over, except for one last band which ICJ is going to request.

Pinback, your evaluation of the Monkees was spot on.

I will listen to Beaver when not at work.[/quote]

I wrote the music. Gabe wrote his own saxophone line and Brian wrote the lyrics.

#4: Brian Gramling - One thing I like in a singer is to be able to sing.

#3: Kurt Colville: I mostly blame the mix here, but that screechy, distorted, droning electric guitar sound is just relentless, and though he plays the three chords with energy and passion, it just doesn't quite make it.

#2: Robb Sherwin: I didn't even realize there were keyboards in this to begin with. Which means Robb is playing them correctly. He keeps the beat and keeps the rhythm chugging ahead. Bonus points for actually writing the music.

#1: Gabriel Roussere: The sax fills are easily the best part of this, and sounds like he was your one friend who was actually in real bands and agreed to come over one weekend, have a few beers and punch up your adorable little 4-track attempt.

Since writing this, I have listened to virtually nothing else but Pink Floyd, digging deep into all the earlier albums, even moving forward to things like Division Bell, and a smattering of Endless River, even among the cries of "that's not real Floyd." Whatever.

The above ranking is obviously wrong, and I came here to rectify this atrocity I have committed.

Wright moves up to #3. Sorry, Sid, you're dead, and last, and dead last.

I'm also real close to moving Gilmour to #1. Real close. I just can't do it. Yet.
