I REALLY dug that Six Fingered Man track when I heard the River in Reverse for the first time. Not a huge fan of the rest of the album unfortunately, but that track is tops.
I love Mr. Bungle. I also listen to a lot of prog.
This thing just didn't seem cohesive at all, just complete patchwork. I may listen to the comp again tonight, maybe I'll come out thinking something different.
Teenage Fanclub was great, have been meaning to get that album for a while, I also enjoyed Beardfish as well even though it's not my usual kind of thing.
I just finished listening to the Beardfish song again. This is what I heard:
Frank Zappa (lots of it)
Everlast (yeah that guy from House of Pain. Just a touch of this)
Clutch
cheesy American blues rock
country/western
Queen
Motley Crue
Sorry for the lateness! Thanks to all those who contributed.

Well when there are 5 left (not counting my own submission), it comes down to process of elimination. Of course, things could still go wrong, so I'm glad I got it right.
