Some examples from both categories are in order: Lousy: Huey Louis, Twisted Sister, AC/DC, etc. Good : Led Zeppelin, Iron Butterfly, Mountain (any fans out there??), Blue Oyster Cult, Van Halen (at times). I'm not sure how I go about categorizing, but I believe that it is highly correlated with musical talent. -- Jeff Myers The views above may or may not University of Wisconsin-Madison reflect the views of any other Madison Academic Computing Center person or group at UW-Madison.
