Pearl Jam's cover of "Last Kiss" can fuck off forever. Turned me off the band for a solid decade.

I despise The Macarena in ways I cannot put into words.

As general commercial acts... probably Tad? They were a proto-grunge band that did nothing interesting and vanished once Nirvana took off. They tried being 'heavier than God's balls' and utterly whiffed at out-heavy-ing the then-struggling thrash-metal market. Honestly, not even Slayer thought they could top Reign In Blood, and it wasn't until 1994's apparently fantastic heroin glut that albums like Jar Of Flies and When The Kite String Pops started really challenging the limits of chugga-chugga music. Destroy Erase Improve reset the scoreboard in '95, but nobody noticed until years later.

I didn’t care for Last Kiss, but I did like that they released it for charity and made $10 million for Kosovo refugees.

This is an interesting analysis. 'Heavy' is a nebulous enough concept in music that being so definite with assertions like this is basically inviting contention. It can only ever really be a discussion as opposed to anything concretely absolute.

How has no one mentioned Tom Waits.

He has some good songs, but his voice sounds like a alley cat with a stomach full of garbage who won't let you sleep. I know that it's the point for some ppl, but I can't stand it.
