The Pearly Gates - Who makes it, who............ doesn't?
 

Name a band you'd admit to music heaven, then a band you'd rather see licking the afor's testicles (for all of eternity).

Admitted (admitto), New Order

Refused (renuto), Smashing Pumpkins

Well, there's nothing like kicking up a stink. :)

Admitted ---> Medeski Martin and Wood

Denied ---> Aerosmith

Admitted - Kidneythieves
Denied - Stereolab

Admitto, Le Tigre

Renuto, Hole

But let's face it, one of Courtney's ambitions is to screw the devil himself. :D

Well, I don't know about bands on a whole, but I can tell you as seperate musicians...

Admitted - Eddie Van Halen
Denied - C.C. DeVille

:D :p

Admitted : Michelle Branch
Denied : Michelle Branch (Damn near slipped past because she had a guitar. :)

Quite! What function do soft-rock-female-solo-artists serve? They look sexy with a guitar, but can they rock? Nope!

Admitto - Nina Hynes
Renuto - KT Tunstall (for the crime of slapping & stroking that guitar as if it was alive). It's a bit of friggin' wood and metal.

Admitted: Pink Floyd

Denied: All the rest

:p


OK, OK. Something more specific...

Denied: Autechre

Admitted: Syd Barrett
Denied: the rest of Pink Floyd

and (to get both in one post)
Admitted: King Crimson
Denied: Rush

Then again, this already came first:

;)

What, even Rush? :(

Admitted: Keith Harris & Orville
Denied: Coil, Recoil, Icon of Coil. Oh, & This Mortal Coil.

Admitted: Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Denied: Aerosmith

I know. There are some nasty recommendations here. :p


Admitted: Heavy metal

Denied: All the odd variants of heavy metal: goth metal, black metal and opera metal, for instance

Admitted: Hard Rock
Denied (sent to the deepest pits): Melodic Hard Rock

Agreed. :up:

Makes a change for someone else to be genre-bashing.

Admitted: Def Leppard (the 80's variety).
Denied: Van Halen, Whitesnake, GNR

On with the genre-bashing:

Admitted: Detroit-Techno
Denied: Trance

Admitted: Country on the Click
Denied: Country & Western (to be locked up with the metal posse, both sides to be armed to the teeth).

I'd rather lock up the Country rednecks with the Gangsta Rappers.

Admitted (barely, maybe after a few centuries purgatory for anything he did after 1980): Stevie Wonder

The Metal crowd will be punished by having to listen to

Denied: Jamiroquai

You must seriously hate metal. :D

Admitted: Clan of Xymox

Denied: All 20,000 Abba tribute bands, to follow Sting off into the desert (the lot of them never to be seen again).

Admitted: Ronnie James Dio

OH FUCK THAT!

Dio kicks off Eternal Damnation Tour in Hell!

\m/

Admitted: Joe Baiza
Denied: Carlos Santana

you'd let detroit techno into heaven? Blech!

Admitted: Ridley Bent
Denied: Tenacious D

Admitted: Robert Johnson
Denied: Eric Clapton

in: TJ Rehmi
out: Ananda Shankar

What? Eric Clapton denied?

Admitted: Roger Waters
Denied: Dave Matthews

"Leyla" (however you spell it) adorned every GM Vauxhall ad of the 80's.

What he made from the ads he lost in credibility & album sales.

Sorry Eric, bad move!

Admitted: Keith Richards


Oh shit, Sorry!
I thought we were nominating admissions into rehab.

Admitted: Stryper
Denied: AC/DC

Has nothing to do with musical talent, but it sure is fitting... :D

In related news all but one* of heaven's inhabitants just seeked asylum in hell.

denied, Gene Simmons

Admitted: Paul van Dyk
Denied: Paul Oakenfold
