Master thread with standings

Ratings key: 
10 - One of your very favorite artists of all time.
9 - Killer fucking band.  Or artist.
8 - Great sound, great songs, great albums.
7 - Very good, but not quite great.
6 - Pretty good.  More than a few songs you like.  You'd entertain the thought of seeing them live if they were in the area.  Or still alive.
5 - They're okay, but maybe not something you'll go out of your way to listen to.
4 - Meh.  There may be a song or two, or an album that you dig, but you'd rather listen to other stuff.
3 - Not very good.  You will more likely than not turn the station if they come on the radio.
2 - Not your cup of tea at all.  Some people like this, but you are not one of them.
1 - Horrible in every way.
0 - In the running for worst artist/musician of all time.  You would rather take a cheese grater to your face than listen to this.

How come Smashing Pumpkins is not this week artist? 🙁

Because I just did Foo Fighters two weeks ago, and we haven't done a female artist in a bit, and I needed something off the normal beaten rock path

That's fine, kinda feel disappointed but let's move on 👍

I mean, SP was one of ten bands suggested so the odds were long.

Yeah, a few people voted for them, I know it wasn't a poll or counting votes or anything so that's fair, anyways I guess we'll do SP some other time.

She was already in her 30s when she became famous but she looked younger than her age..

Only by comparison to people with sun damage and chainsmokers! 😛

(both of which were pretty prevalent in her time...)

Don't get me wrong.  She looked great, and her looks held up for a LONG time.

But looking back at pictures of her, it is pretty obvious that she is at least 30.  Nothing wrong with that, at all.

To nobody's surprise, solid 10 here.

I would also suggest 11:59 and Angels on the Balcony for songs to check out.

YES greats picks. Angels on the Balcony is a great song. AutoAmerican is a mixed bag but that's my favorite song off it.

10/10

Love this band! I love the punk/new wave stuff in this time. The late 70s were great. 1978 was a good year in music.

A few favorites to check out from their albums:

Blondie: X Offender, In the Sun, Rifle Range

Parallel Lines: (whole thing!) Hanging on the Telephone, Pretty Baby

Eat to the Beat: Union City Blues, Slow Motion

AutoAmerican: Angels on the Balcony

Aw yeah got that OG Private Stock mix 🤘

It was their first single. Check it out as a bonus track on Spotify. They actually lost the master tape for that recording so the audio was sourced from one of the 45s.

I'm surprised I didn't wear out our album of Parallel Lines growing up.   

Fun fact- I used to have a platinum album of Autoamerican (Sal somebody's?)   I wanted to get a platinum Parallel Lines but gave up on finding it after a year or so.   Sold mine, then a few weeks later Parallel Lines showed up on ebay, with the same Sal recipient!

EDIT:  Found the Sal somebody!    Sal Licata  https://apnews.com/a8fe18232a5a97675af34a03b01e4f75
