Of this list... The Lips.

Los Lobos still tops 'em all, though IMO.

Fuck yeah. My vote, too.

I don't know why the people who are bringing up Sonic Youth and The Flaming Lips in the other thread aren't voting here. At least it seems like they aren't, or SY would have more votes.

No Aerosmith in any of these polls, very disheartening.

Not listing Spoon should be considered a crime.

Because it is.

No, not your humble opinion... you are right.

But from this list, Sonic Youth.

Well, there are some with whom I'm unfamiliar, and others (Flaming Lips) who are OK from time to time. But, yeah, this isn't a very FT-centric list. And that's fine, because Drinky is Drinky, and he's cool.
