Too many notable acts

I'd like to start removing some of the bands listed in the Notable Acts section. Many of them are not representative of the genre. The description of "shock rock" is that the band's music or performance has to push limits of what is acceptable in society at the time of the band's prominence. The bands I'm going to remove unless someone wants to make a case for them are:

Danzig - metal band Lizzy Borden - hair metal band Lynyrd Skynyrd - rock band Ministry - industrial band, no "shock" content I know of Mötley Crüe - punk influenced glam rock - nothing shocking here Mudvayne - they wear costumes - but engage in no limit pushing activities that I know of Motograter - not known as a "shock rock" band, wearing body paint & playing custom built instruments doesn't challenge any social conventions Murderdolls - as far as I can tell they are a post-goth band with horror influences, but engage in no "shock rock" behaivor.

Alice in Chains?

Their music is loaded with shock value; needless to say, their lyrics are some of the most morbid, dark, disturbing, and shocking lyrics ever written. Plus the sonic shock value is over-the-top, given the way they (and their mixing engineers) have used distortion (on more than just the guitar; often the voice and sometimes the total mix), and compression (for those aggressive and loud dynamics; their RMS average values are often really high). And I never saw them live so I don't know whether or not their stage performances had a theatrical shock element to them; but look at their music videos! Those are some of the most creepy and shocking music videos that made it to MTV.

Should they be added to the list? 160.39.208.33 15:11, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
