One band, any band. Just make it creative and original. Really..if you are just gonna say Beiber sucks, don't waste yours or my time. Pick a band that is massively popular, but you think just is utter crap. for example................ Judas Priest. Yup. I said it. For about 3 years in the...

and tour Epitaph Tour announcement What are your top 5 JP albums (in order, please) **BTW..... Why do people rave over British Steel so much? Breaking the Law and Living After Midnight were the most blatant sellouts of Priest career, purely aimed at Radio and Mtv. I grew up on Metal in the 80s...
