Yeah, VNV Nation's poppy songs are perfect!

Oh God. VNV Nation are terrible, what on earth are you two thinking about? You'll be singing the praises of Kirlian Camera next...

On the industrial tip, did anyone ever see Leech Woman? They were a great live band who seemed kind of poo on record.

I think the blame falls on Al's shoulders. with every record, Ministry got "harder". I suspect that Al went through a mid/late-life crisis at some point in the early 90's. Scaccia was just lucky to get the fuck out of Dallas.

on a related note: Scaccia's (what I'm sure is ex-ex-ex-xxx) girlfriend is responsible for psychically scarring me. never dose in the presence of demonic junkies.


I'm not sure wax trax turned anything "into" disco. have you heard With Sympathy?

I just spit on the ground In Contempt.

Loveless, i cant complain with that being number 1 since im irish so its nice to an irish band getting the top spot

it's been a while since i looked this all over so i decided to post the top 101 and the scores for each, looking back certainly my listening habits have changed some since last posted some year and a half ago
