            <description><![CDATA[ I&#039;m surprised J. Mascis hasn&#039;t been mentioned yet. <br />
<br />
However, if they&#039;re alternative rock fold (which, admittedly, is debatable), the winner is Bernard Sumner of New Order/Electronic.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Verlaine kills TV for me.<br />
I have listened to MM for so many years trying to get to the greatness that is proclaimed about it. The music is exquisite, but the vocals and lyrics just are a turn off. For some reason, a few of the songs work better than others, but as a whole it can&#039;t live up to the hype.]]></description>
