White Zombie take the title here. Im a huge fan of Rob Zombies solo work, something that led me to delve deeper into his past work. And I was impressed!

One of thier songs, Thunder Kiss 65, was also used as the ECW theme song for its tv run, and as this is a wrestling forum, should go in thier favour!

Somebody said earlier that "Thunderkiss 65" is the perfect ****-fucking anthem. Somehow that sums up that entire song perfectly.

White Zombie were amazing, and though some don't appreciate their early work, I personally love a good portion of it. "Dear or Alive" is almost a downright punk song and a few of their early EPs were gold in my opinion, stuff like Gods on Voodoo Mountain & Psycho-Head Blowout. Then you get to their TRULY best work, the magnum opus of La Sexorcisto and the nearly-as good Astro Creep. Truly great stuff.

311 is pretty good. "All Mixed Up" is a fantastic song, and an absolutely PERFECT party and summer-time anthem. They've had some other decently good songs like the mellow "Amber" and "I'll Be Here Awhile", but aside from those songs and "Down", I can't say any of their other work intrigues me. Though they did do a nice cover of the Cure's "Lovesong".

White Zombie takes this one easily for me though.

*does the RVD point at self thingy*


Damn straight it is. good times

FUCK. These are two of my all time favorite bands. I have to go with Zombie though. 311 has some fine singles, but Zombie has some awesome ALBUMS. Both La Sexorcito and and Astro Creep are totally fucking EPIC. Groove metal at its absolute finest, you cant go wrong with it.
