# 48 May, they're pretty fucking obnoxious
Mint Chicks, Datsuns.. rock bands who pissed away any kind of cred
Stylus? already forgotten
Evermore! AHHHAHHHHAHHHHAHHHAH
I've always hated Goodnight Nurse, I'd like to feed them into a sausage grinder

but somehow the Feelers have real staying power, like an extra sticky turd in the bowl

# oh yeah, they're still good.
I'm terribly disappointed in Open Souls moving away from their hip-hop/reggae roots towards totally bland soul music.

Couldn't even make it all the way through their second album, but the first is great.

# but I do have one word for you and that word is YEBIISU

for young up and comers, dub/roots reggae is still where it's at

# The Managers are still rocking it
Unity Pacific, House of Shem, Three Houses Down, Katchafire, D Dub, Kora - all still perfectly competent, but no longer exciting

# poop.
It's just the "Agitator" video.

I was gonna link "AFFCO" but people can see that in the related videos.

# admittedly Goon and the Twitch aren't quite of the calibre of those 80s/90s acts
but I have to include them as rare examples of recent guitar bands who aren't total deadshit wankers.

# hmmm
more investigation required

# to be fair I have not seen Goon since they got a new drummer.
he was the most fun out of the three of them, so they might suck now.
