The production was for the time? When Relax was released I didn't hear anything else that quite sounded like it at the time. But the main thing to me was their big singles back them just sounded like good music, and I think they still sound good.

lyrically - i thought it was the most controversial thing I heard, then I heard stuff like the live version of "Kick Out the Jams", which was released in 1969

musically they're good or rather, Trevor Horn's session musicians were good

I thought music 30 years and older was the best and all newer music sucked.
Queen was the best band in the world.
Marilyn Manson is deep.
People who liked The Smiths were Hipsters.

Those are a few I could think of off the top of my head. I really didn't know what was up.

I wouldn't say they're the best. My taste has changed since then, a lot. I don't listen to them anymore. A lot of bands trump them IMHO and find it funny that that's all I used to listen to.

- I thought Sum 41 were proper punk
- I thought Korn and Slipknot were as br00tal as music got
- I thought Creed were a great band
- I thought all electronic music was mindless rubbish
- I thought Finch and Funeral For A Friend were innovative
- I thought Michael Jackson was a woman

I remember when I was about 16 and the first Poison album Look What the Cat Dragged In came out. There were close up photos of each of the individual band members on the cover. I saw an ad for the album in a music mag that I'd bought and immediately ripped it out, hung it on my wall and avowed that these were the four hottest women on the face of the planet. I used to plant kisses on each of their individual faces before going to bed at night (you know, where you kiss your hand and then touch the object of your devotion, yada, yada...). This lasted about a week before I was informed by a friend that they were dudes. I don't think I've gotten over this yet.

The group could perform well live I think, I liked some clips on youtube. The lyrics were controversial it's true but if the basic music wasn't good I don't think it would have had that much of an impact.
