Inclusivity is a long and revered tradition here at th' IoF©! Our trail-blazing recognition of basic human rights for Bikini Testers has garnered plaudits worldwide, and our award-winning For Girls! series has adapted the most off-puttingly "difficult" bands to the sensitive tastes of the "weaker sex" (bless 'em!). Think of the series as the musical equivalent of Classics Illustrated comics [below left - Ed.] ! Those popular abridgements of otherwise unreadable literary masterpieces such as Moby Dick and Don Quixote instilled a love of Fine Literature in a whole generation!
Yes, we like to think that the For Girls! series is of equal importance! No longer shall the little lasses feel excluded from the fun of listening to "boys only" bands such as Captain Beefheart, the Velvet Undergrounds, the Led Zeppelins, the Pink Floyds, the King Crimsons, and now, the Soft Machines!
We've smoothed out those "rough edges", concentrating on the more hummable qualities of this oft-challenging combo! And although the purist may carp that some of the selections - blended seamlessly into a Thirty-Minute Medley O' Melody™ - are solo performances, no dolly-bird is going to bother her pretty little head about that!
So, if you know any girls [you're kidding, right? - Ed.], or maybe someone you know does, why not give them a copy of this swell long-playing album LP record? Its feminine allure is heightened by the oh-so-sensitive cover design, making it a swell companion for her Peter, Paul and Mary albums!

Join in the undignified scramble for the deliverable by listing your Top Three Worst Bands! Here's how it works: think of the band you hate the most, then put that at the top of the list! That's your "number one"! Now comes the tricky bit! What's the band you hate nearly as much? Hmmm! Thinking caps on, fellows! That's your "number two"! To round out your list of three, think of another band you wish you'd never heard! That's your "number three" right there!
ReplyDeleteIf you don't really "hate" any band, but have a mild dislike for some, go through the exercise with this parameter in mind!
If you can't think of any bands at all right now, come back later when the meds kick in!
