Sonic Youth!

Ahhh, I was wondering if we'd get one like this. Sonic Youth unfortunately has never really done it for me, and while I do like a few Jane's Addiction numbers, Perry Farrell is just too much of a flamboyant weirdo these days for me to take him even remotely seriously. So The Pixies get my vote. Where is my mind, anyway?

Spinderella totally rocks.

Kim Gordon is just so cool, I had to pick Sonic Youth. Now if you'd have put the Breeders in lieu of the Pixies, then we'd have a real war. Battle of the Kims.

All things being equal, I'm going with the Pixies. Kim Deal is from the Dayton area, which is pretty big for anybody from this area. Although, I really love Jane's, too.

SONIC YOUTH.

because guitarclashes are great startingpoints for songs.

La vida total es un porqueria, porqueria.

Oh my golly.

Sonic Youth. But this was hard, WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY hard for me. All three bands kick major ass and were favorites of mine back in the 90's. I still love Sonic Youth though, so that's why, in the end, I have to go with them.

I dunno. I just went with Jane's Addiction cause I know a couple of their songs.

Is it too late for me to vote on this one? Because I love, love, love Jane's Addiction.
