The Velvet Underground's percussion is vastly under appreciated.

I agree completely. Maureen Tucker is bae. And an interview she did a while ago made me cry.

"The Real Thing" easily ranks in FNM's top five songs.

I can't really get into Faith No More. Patton's voice really grates on me. At least with Fantomas and to an extent Mr Bungle it's not as front and centre.

James and Ninetales blow.

They did it first.

Maureen Tucker was a real pioneer. Usually, she would play (while standing up) on a primitive kit with no cymbals, a bass drum on a stand, and a tom with one stick and one or two mallets. Moe was influenced in early years by the African percussionist Babatunde Olatunji and Bo Diddley’s rhythms. Her first exposure to Olatunji was on Murray The K’s radio show when Olatunji’s Drums of Passion was played as intro/outro music. She became such a fan that she took up a collection at her high school to have Olatunji perform there – and he did! A Verve press release characterized Moe’s precise, relentless style as that of a “human computer” (she had been an IBM employee, after all). A style that later influenced the pulses of bands like Kraftwerk.

Jim Croce had a better mustache than Frank Zappa.
