Oh me…all apologies and not saying you’re dumb but you must have gone to school on a plain. Re-read my post before you have an aneurysm.

Nirvana are great but they couldn’t sliver into even my top 10, Nevermind my top 5. Threads like these… I should just stay away.

[Malum]

The Swinging Medallions
The Shaggs
The Bad Seeds
The Chi-Lites
The Mad Lads

[GB-man]

Since we are just talking names

The Red Hot Chili Peppers

Soundgarden

The used

The Dave Mathew’s….joking lol

[Chiboy]

Great to see the Grateful Dead get a couple of mentions! One not mentioned:

New Riders of the Purple Sage

Worst name: "JGB" by ex-Jerry Garcia Band keyboardist Melvin Seals' cover band after Garcia died.

I’d settle for their back catalogues if I could only listen to 5 groups for the remainder of my days.
