Looks like the headline was written by the Department Of Redundency Department.

Is that like the First Annual Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence?

/Nothing Shocking

Jane's Addiction sucks. No one really likes them. Sheep pretend they do because everyone is supposed to.

 
TheLopper 2008-04-24 03:10:48 PM  
I've got no problem with them winning this award. They deserve it.

/Such a classic band.

"Godlike Genius Award for Extraordinary Services to Music"

Is this a real award? This is the most ridiculous farking thing I have ever heard of.

I would like to present them with the award for "Band Who Wrote Most Of The Songs I Listened To On Repeat While On LSD in High School, Particularly Three Days"

Sure, they were important. But "godlike?"

Who else has received this "godlike" award?

you're taking a little too much stock in meaningless awards, especially one from NME.

I have to set the record straight here - Three Days from the Kettle Whistle CD wins.

Oh, and Nemo's Brother, you're an idiot.

Kettle whistle is a comp., though.


Yeah, but the version of Three Days on Kettle is different from the one that's on Ritual de lo Habitual. It's a much better version.

I think I'm gonna have to pop out theose CD's and listen to them. Damn those were some good songs.

But obviously they don't compare to Hanna Montana according to Nemo's brother.

I'm assuming Perry Ferrell earned this for his appearance in this years Monday Night Football opening montage.

'cause nothing says "Godlike Genius" like Bocephus.

/ready for some football.

Dave Navarro gets it for nailing Carmen Electra and for being on a Chili Peppers album

/you better not have a problem with RHCP biatches
