Queens of the Stone Age, being part of the official woosie-band collective, can't get the vote anyway.

...I'm not familiar with the "official woosie-band collective"?

Me neither...

It's mainstream rock bands without any artistic statement that exist for making money only.
Here's some others to give you the idea:

Metallica
Bon Jovi
Queens Of The Stone Age
Foo Fighters
Red Hot Chili Peppers
U2
AC/DC
Kiss

That said I happen to like Kiss a lot but it's just some cashing in anyway.

I couldn't disagree with you more in regards to QOTSA. Anybody who's really familiar with QOTSA and what they're about can tell you they are the complete opposite of the definition you've given above.

Of course, they're true underground hardcore and DIY without any rockstar shit

They're far from being a "mainstream rock band without any artistic statement that exist for making money only". I would argue that from the beginning (and this goes for all the other bands Josh Homme has started) QOTSA have been about making completely DIY very non-commercial alt rock. And for the same reason why the White Stripes kind of music is popular now or Nirvana and grunge in their day just says that after a while the wider public embraces less commercial stuff and in doing so makes it commercially successful. But you certainly couldn't say the above bands didn't have an artist statement to offer despite their eventual popular success. That goes for the Chilli Peppers too.

WOAH! QOTSA defo does not fit with that list. Just because they are a popular, very well known band, doesn't mean they have no artistic statement. They make great music. Simple fact. And they experiment. And they are original. And Josh Homme is a very talented man. Im with plasmate here. Especially wouldnt put them in a list with Kiss

. Kiss make me sick

Think its time we learnt your time table/ditched the hover board.

Listen to whatever you like, that's just my perception of art that keeps me from listening to boring radio rock. You could easily also put recent SP on this list until Oceania proofs me wrong. Let's move on.

ghostchild OFFLINE Die Posts: 2006	The first time I heard QOTSA was when they opened for SP on the Arising tour. They got booed off the stage and Josh threw a little temper tantrum as he was leaving the stage. They're an OK band, but I never have understood why everybody goes apeshit over them. I don't see them as anything special. That said, I give them more cred than Kiss or U2.

frankB OFFLINE Die Ghostface Posts: 3089	I forget How to Destroy Angels, was that the techno one that sounded like Sneakers? Man, feel bad you're out first Plasmate, you're a pretty consistent picker based on the last 'season', and it's always bad to see an Aussie bow out I enjoyed Queens here, so I'm thinking it wasn't the quality of the 'song', but there's just that many people who know that band and aren't into them.

Totally agree.

However, Les Claypool > Flea. And you all took a gigantic runny elephant shit all over my Primus song last tournament. There's no accounting for bad taste, I guess.

So...

Les Claypool > Flea > Geddy Lee

but yet...

Rush > RHCP > Primus

Boggles the mind, eh?

Fixed that for ya. But RHCP and Primus haven't made any album that's half as good as the masterpieces that are "Moving Pictures" and "2112".
