Those standardized tests were apart of our grade. They weren't where you taught?

Just stop. You're embarrassing yourself and our generation.

I love Motley Crue like a fat kid loves Scarlett Johansson but would never in a million years use their sales figures to justify their worth. And their self-titled album with Corabi is just boring. New Tattoo is a lot of fun though, even if the songwriting never reaches top notch.
More or less made this point earlier. Rich and big sales does not necessarily equal being good. Just popular. A lot of crap (imo) is popular. Doesn't make it good.

Standardized tests is a pretty broad term. Some were; some weren’t. Sometimes teachers would lie about the stakes for the students so they would try.

Maybe then you will appreciate the Crue's genius, as did Nikki when he wrote that song.
