Offspring or Live is the obvious winner for 20th and 19th place, IMO. They both stink. I give zero fucks if any band member has a degree in molecular biology fyi. That obviously isn't improving your shitty ass music.
Not a fan. That's 3rd or 4th generation "punk" with too many "oh, oh oh oh's" and "whoa whoa whoa's." Always found them and Green Day cheesy. But of course I'd see some of either one if they were playing somewhere I was at.

I don’t know whether to enthusiastically participate in this because I feel so strongly about all these artists, or to not participate at all because I feel so strongly about all these artists.

Counting Crows should’ve been here, if only so I could passionately defend their second record while everyone else dunks all over them and makes me feel bad. Real missed opportunity, there.
If we are counting when they started out then yeah 80s, but both were probably at the height of their popularity in the 90s.
No way. Sonic Youth was big all throughout the hardcore scene as more of a noise/psychadelic alternative (before that term was used for rock resurgence) to the typical shit. I did see them on probably their biggest tour supporting Neil Young back in 1991. But I knew about and listened to them for 8 or 9 years before that. Lots of people did. That's when they made their mark.

Sonic Youth were really good the whole time. Almost all of these are just known for being good in the 90’s. I should have thought of Dino Jr. instead of Green Day.

Participate enthusiastically please. Mostly because it will piss off Teddy Flair
I don’t know whether to enthusiastically participate in this because I feel so strongly about all these artists, or to not participate at all because I feel so strongly about all these artists.
Personal rankings based on the music itself and not necessarily contributions to society:
Soundgarden* Alice in Chains* Rage Against the Machine* (great but too formulaic) Pearl Jam* Bjork* Nine Inch Nails* Pantera Tool* PJ Harvey Stone Temple* Smashing Pumpkins* Red Hot Chili Peppers* (higher for everything before Californication, lower for everything after) Nirvana Pavement Oasis Green Day Blur The Offspring Live*
Also - RHCP was best in the 1980's as well - RHCP, Freaky Styley, Uplift Mofo Party Plan, Mother's Milk though Blood Sugar is arguably their best overall album, and that was 1991. One Hot Minute (personal second favorite) was 1995. Everything after that hasn't been up to my RHCP standards as they moved away from funk into sappier shit.

Hell to the nope. I learned my lesson on that one. I bring only positive vibes now.
Also while The Flaming Lips weren't at their biggest in the 90s there is a very strong case for then being their best in terms of albums.
I'm kind of excited to see them in September for the whatever-th time. Musically they're not particularly that talented. But they always give you a great show. Maybe some of it is gimmicky, but I don't ever leave a Lips show not feeling like they gave what they had.

Drozd has always been a great musician and instrumentalist, while Wayne and the others just love the fans and putting on a memorable experience.
Have you heard the Seattle 96 show thats on the Heady Nuggs edition of Clouds? The Ronald Jones era just seemed insane in terms of the live sound. Wish I was old enough back then to know them and see them.

He's good, but he can be pretty sloppy live. I haven't listened to that show, but I'll have to check it out sometime. I think the first time I saw Lips in person was Hangout 2012 when they did the split set of Lips songs and Dark Side of the Moon with Phantogram, a witch and a couple other musicians as well. Speaking of Phantogram, I always thought Big Grams was pretty good. Not everyone liked it, and I don't necessarily "love" it, but I did jam on that live when I saw them. Plus Big Boi is an underrated producer anyway.

My first time was the Bonnaroo 2007 latenight UFO show. Visually I had never seen such a spectacle live, but the long breaks between songs and Wayne's rambling was a bit of a drag. Always been curious what their shows look like now, because I never thought there was a way they could top the UFO gig.

Here’s my cool Flaming Lips-adjacent story, bros: I’m acquaintances/ran in the same indie theater circle for a bit with Steve Burns from Blue’s Clues. He has a children’s music project with Drozd, and at one point, he asked me and a couple other musicians he knew to shoot a music video in which Drozd was the Rocktopus, and we all wore green screen bodysuits and played instruments, so they could make it look like he had 8 arms and was playing them all in post.
Unfortunately, the effect didn’t end up looking all that great, so the footage was scrapped, but the plus side is that I got to hang out In a skin-right body suit with a musical genius all day. We mostly shot the shit about Rush. He also gave me a Flaming Lips pick that I still have on my desk and am saving to use when the fate of the world rests on me playing something epically psychedelic.
While you said you loved The Offspring live and I disagreed, I see absolutely no way they are worse than Live. Live wasn't all that bad musically, but Ed Kowalczyk (sp?) was one of the most annoying, absorbed front people of a rock band ever. I never was sure if he really did take himself as seriously as it seemed he did.
I also don't get the Bjork hate unless people are still mad about the Day for Night DJ set or whatever. To those I would say, "you should have gone to Bjork VR." How hard was it to be one of the thousand people out of 20k that got to see it? Not at all. It was clear that the move was to pick an early time but not on the hour or half hour so that you were assured to get in to see it. I literally got 6 tickets one-by-one using 5:20 as entry time. They even called me to ask me what tf I was doing getting 6 shows. I told them, "I purchased all the tickets for 6 different people whose names are on the reservation." They were like, "you're good."
