I dunno.  It's a tough call ....

The other act I have to place in the top three was some band I saw
opening for Kittie (!) a few years back -- their name, I mercifully
forget.  They had two drummers, two vocalists (I wouldn't dub them
"singers"), a bevy of guitarists, and a bass (at least one).  It was not
entirely clear to me that the band members were always playing the same
song at the same time.  In fact, I would go so far as to say there was
_damn_ little evidence that they were _ever_ playing the same song at
the same time ;)  Boy, did they suck! :)  And if for some perverse
reason they _meant_ it to sound like that, then they double-triple
sucked! :)

Cheers,
Carl
