Note; Of course all lists are incomplete and are updated and changed / altered by me constantly ,... ( Shut up Fucking Douchebag ,....of course I knew about the Greatness of Jefferson Airplane ),..
There are some Groups/Projects with one or two good songs ( Sonny and Cher) ,..but I don't qualify them for what-ever reason,..
And I recommend People Listen to Direct Tv 8 tracks ( Channel 840 ) to properly learn about real rock n' roll ,..
Of Course, I can't put Lists #2 and #3 in any kind of Order ,...
Notes; Canned Heat, Journey, Hall and Oates, New Order, Blink 182, Coldplay, and Foo Fighters will never make any Lists strictly )
If yer on both Lists 2 'and' 3,..it could mean there's something I like "and" Hate about it ,..or that it just didn't have enough output,..
Of course ,..there's Great stuff I've forgot or misplaced ,..it'l be added where appropriate soon ,..
Ordinarily, I hate all of these kindza' Lists but Fuck VH1 and MTV and all that ,... I won't Let them just propagandize and propagate "Their" Phony Lists,..
Disclaimer: You will notice there is NO Bruce Springsteen, The Police, or Phil Collins ( or Phil Collins Genesis Post Duke ), Joan Jett, Billy Idol, Sammy Hagar,.. etc ,... That's because,..These Artists are FUCKING GAY and Lame and they FUCKING SUCK ,.. and thus, they Don't get on my Lists ANYWHERE ! ( Though I might Like early songs by Bruce, some Police tracks, and something like 'Victim of Circumstance' by Joan Jett at moments ,..and Gen-X at times,.. BUT USUALLY, there are certain artists that I immediately hate upon instinct ( John Cougar Mellencamp comes rocketing to mind ),...
The Music of Billy Joel is entirely given it's own hated reserve area specially ( Which means that I hate him even worse than the average bands that I hate specially ),..( IN OTHER WORDS,...I Would go to a John Cougar Concert before I would Listen to a Billy Joel Song ! )
I hate Allen Parsons Project ,..yet I listen to them attentively ,...Go figure THAT !!
Jon Bon Jovi I hate even more than Billy Joel ,..I hate his Politics and EVERYTHING about him ! He is in a League with Like a douchebag like Kelsie Grammer,...
The band Dire Straights I detest at a Level like comparing our Sun to Rigel from Orien,...
I don't like the band Heart and those two fat chicks,... ( Though their 70's stuff is good ,... and really early Billie Joel showed Promise for certain !! )
I usually Like just about any music from the 70's or 60's ,.. as a rule ,.. unless its like the Archies,...
U2 : These are People and a Band that I deeply despise ,.... As much as I hate Dire Straights, Bruce Springsteen, and Billie Joel, U2 may just take the Cake as THE Most hated band by Clark the Shizz-ark Dog !! And Note here; I am not likely to like the type of People that would attend a U2 Concert ,...and it could result in a Fist Fight,.. and me being only 5'6,... I still might punch a U2 fan ,...
Fleetwood Mac - This is a band that Clark the Shark does not like ,...and the hatred is rather Deep here ,...
Rem is a band I respectfully don't Like,.. I won't talk a lotta' shit about them though ,..
There are many bands that I just won't comment on either way or discuss such as The Cult, Anthrax, White Snake, etc,..
