This one could be interesting. I'm willing to bet that most of you have never heard of these guys, but they really crossed some musical boundaries and blurred a lot of lines (long before other bands crossed those same lines).

Again, please don't post the name of the band on the odd chance that you know who they are...

I enjoy these blind tests, but I hate this so much I feel like running out my door and slapping the first person who passes by.

Almost all of these sound like they were produced between 1983 and 1986.

This was horrible. Everything about it was horrible.

Sounds like a bad Living Colour cover band.

I like it. Who couldn't get into those vocals? Admittedly, if you take those out there's not much left to the song, but who cares? It's fucking fun to hear. Yes, the production dates it, but there really isn't much recorded music that you can't say that about. If I was forced to rank the music presented in these threads, this would be the best.

I made it about 34 seconds. Oof!

I don't know how dated it would be though - I hear the low B on the bass. I don't think 5-strings were common until the 90's.

1995 was fifteen years ago. That's an eternity for today's musical attention span.

Yes but you said the production dates it. I took that to mean the audio sound. Frankly it sounds pretty well recorded and mixed and could be much newer than 1995.

Now I won't argue the content is dated.

This doesn't even come up on Shazam. I'm guessing unsigned or amateur band.

awful

I knew this one would get a pretty far ranging set of opinions. I posted it primarily because the band is really interesting, as is the album that this song comes from. For me there are some really good things about the song, but I know that for other people it hits all the wrong notes.

For me the worst thing by far were the lyrics.

Guitar licks seemed very cliche too.

With there balls cut off!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, it is a woman singing...
