Sorry, guys for the line spacing making this post kind of take over the page, but there is a positive: It will push you all’s sucky posts so far down, nobody will notice they exist, and the majesty of my post can go unsullied.
HA, I fixed it. That is a damn good list of bands…not a tool or Widespread fan eh? I can stomach Tool..not so much for Widespread. Very cool that Tortoise is playing
Does anyone else find it ironic that the last five posts on the “Top 40 Music Sucks!” blog are about one of the biggest powerhouses of top 40 music in the last 3 decades?
Hell, about 75% of the bands featured in all the posts on this blog have been in the top 40 at some point. Maybe the blog should be called, “Top 40 Sucks…Now. But it Was Friggin’ Awesome when I was just a kid who didn’t know better in 1984”.
Mike, change the title now.
HAHA..that’s actually, EXACTLY what the title should be. I’m changing it.
wassya guys think…looks a little funky. Suggestions are appreciated.

Before anyone cries foul, those two deletes are mine. I accidently posted scorn directed at Chadd that may now be found in its proper place on the Van Halen Post.
