Can't believe these guys aren't in. Greatest rock lyrics ever:

We take what we want
We do anything that we wish
We got no respect
For animal birdy or fish

The grass does not grow
On the places where we stop and stand
River Bottom Nightmare Band

We know we're a mess
But I does not like to be clean
We don't brush our teeth
'Cause our toothache can help us stay mean

We don't wish to learn
But we hate what we don't understand
River Bottom

When you see us comin'
You better startin' runnin'
We're always startin' trouble
And we're happiest when things are outta hand

Rivers are for boilin'
Parties are for spoilin'
We either like to sit and pout
Or else go out and terrorize our land
River Bottom Nightmare Band

We laugh in your face
Or we practice our growl and our sneer
We break up your place
We are dangerous when we are near

And when we are done with our song
Who will get the biggest hand?
Who?
River Bottom Nightmare Band!
River Bottom Nightmare Band

Kind of funny - some of those bands thrive on the fact that they have had little to no help from the mainstream music establishment. Slayer never got any commercial radio airplay, nor did they get big marketing support to push their albums - they enjoyed being "underground", so the thought of them suddenly receiving this type of mainstream recognition is funny. I know Ozzy felt this way about Sabbath getting in - almost like not wanting to be part of any club that would have you as a member....

Thanks.

 

"Ain't No Sunshine" was the favorite song of an uncle of mine who passed away a few years ago. After the memorial service, some of the family met at a diner and that song came on while they were all talking about him. I don't know much else from the Bill Withers catalogue, but I should check it out.

Here's one you may recognize

 

 

It was used in a Gap commercial years ago...
