I guess you would consider Led Zeppelin "Death Metal" cause of D'yer Mak'Er and In My Time of Dying? And I guess any Opera song where someone dies is Death Metal. I guess The Band are Death Metal too cause Bo Jangle's dog up'd and died? That's how ridiculous your criteria is.

And I honestly can't think of a single Everclear song, and don't even know who Alejandro Escovido is, so I couldn't tell you.



And In Flames have sold more albums than Big Star ever did. What's your point? Music is now objective?
And New Kids sold more albums than In Flames ever will. Point? Don't know who Escovedo is? You should.

Yes, yes, yes, spot on.

They are a thrash band because they play thrash, not because they sound like anything else, thrash or otherwise. That's the point, exactly.

Do you mean Basil C. Thurston nails it, or are you giving props to Nine Inch Nails as a "Power Pop" band by Batlord's measurements and standards?
