Bands Shamelessly Overexposed by the “Alternative” Press

1. Sonic Youth
2. Yo La Tengo
3. Radiohead
4. Velvet Underground
5. Nirvana
6. Beck
7. Bright Eyes
8. Pavement
9. Red Hot Chili Peppers
10. Sonic Youth

This list is not serious. It is inserted into the text merely as a way of pissing off the critics. It is taken from Steve’s latest book, Rock and Roll Will Save Your Life, which also promises:

* Sometimes drunken interviews with America’s finest songwriters
* The terrifying specter of Graceland stoned
* A brief examination of Steve’s wretched music criticism
* Recommendations you will often choose to ignore
* A reluctant exegesis of the song ‘Africa’ by Toto
* Gratuitous lists
