PJ - The Who
2 or 3 really good albums that set their legacy, a lot of hit or miss becoming more miss over time.
Great live shows.
Looked on as a voice of their generation.

I'm sure Steve Miller Band never wrote lyrics as brilliant and deep as Bush...

My future lies
In space travel
She's coming over me
I employ spies
To stroll the gravel
They never want to leave
The future lies
The future lies
Scared of the government scared of the government

Everything's gone white
And everything's grey
Now you're here now you're away
I don't want this
Remember that
I'll never forget where you're at

gavin rossdale just adopted a stream of consciousness writing style that often times leads to lyrics that dont make sense or are simple

Soundgarden = Black Sabbath
Dark band that played dropped tunings and their leader became a joke, mockery of themselves.

Dave Matthews Band = Grateful Dead
Biggest touring band in the decade hippy like culture that follows them around and their shows are 10x better than their albums.
