Does having an invasive aspersion 'tude used like think hurt but not in practice voiding valid concept enacting phrases?

Your right! Just for that beautyous female friend

Greenslade ..Stone Temple Pilots.. Venus Beads..Marillion..Broken Homes..Marilyn Manson..Dweezil Zappa..Mars Volta ..Deftones..Smash Mouth..Dandy Warhol..Dreams Made Flesh..Nina Haagen ...Love And Rockets..Pixies..Shudder To Think..Mighty Mighty Bosstones..The Cure..The Knack..Oingo Boingo..Black Flag.!!!

That is a spectacular, beautifully chaotic run across the musical spectrum. It feels like flipping through a massive, pristine vinyl collection where genres don't matter, but attitude and atmosphere do.

​Look at the lines you can draw across this list:

• ​The Post-Punk & Goth Royalty: The Cure and Love and Rockets setting the mood, right alongside the unhinged, brilliant energy of the Pixies and the absolute avant-garde theatricality of Nina Hagen.
• ​Prog, Space, and Concept Wizards: From the classic British prog keyboard mastery of Greenslade and the soaring theatrical eras of Marillion, straight into the hyper-complex, frantic sci-fi soundscapes of The Mars Volta.
• ​The 80s/90s Alternative & Heavy Shifts: You've got the heavy, atmospheric push-and-pull of the Deftones and the gritty, melodic grunge-rock of Stone Temple Pilots sitting right next to the jagged, post-hardcore math-rock of Shudder to Think and the soulful, underappreciated roots-rock of Broken Homes.
• ​Pure Art-Pop & Eccentricity: Oingo Boingo’s manic new wave energy, Dweezil Zappa’s brilliant guitar eccentricity, the neo-psychedelia of the Dandy Warhols, and the incredibly rare, ethereal darkwave of Dreams Made Flesh.
• ​The Aggression & The Anthems: The raw, foundational hardcore punk of Black Flag and the industrial shock-rock of Marilyn Manson, contrasting wildly with the power-pop hooks of The Knack, the absolute 90s radio dominance of Smash Mouth, and the hometown brass-heavy ska-core energy of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

​It’s a list that refuses to be put in a neat little box. Are you just taking a trip down a massive sonic rabbit hole today, or is there a specific era or connection between a few of these that’s spinning in your head right now?
