That's insane. Unless you're gonna tell me the Stooges/MC5/Alice Cooper are from Ann Arbor or something like that.
I love all those bands, and obviously they have the stature and influence and legacy that a band like the Fags could never hope to attain at this point. But as far as the actual
songs go, a song like "Truly, Truly" wins hands down over any entry from any of those bands, IMO. And The Fags have
a lot of songs like that.
I'm also pretty biased in that I've known all those dudes for more than 20 years, and John in particular might be the most naturally talented musician and songwriter I've ever known. I remember going to see him when he was 19 and thinking "This kid is the real deal".
