Check out Amorphis for a good mix of clean singing and guttural vocals.
I’ve heard Rundgren samples now and again quite a bit, but the only thing I really liked was “Feet Don’t Fail Me Now” with Utopia. If you know of any other of his material that falls into the must-listen category, fill me in!
Ha, I have Amorphis back when they used to growl most of the time. They started to do mostly clean vocals? They were like Finnish or at least Scandinavian or something.

> the best album of the 90s
That’s like being the least stinky turd in the septic tank.
There’s almost nothing made by the Western music industry post-1992 that’s worth listening to.
Sorry, misread you post. I just can’t get past the guttural vocal. Sepultura was the farthest I could go with it.

Bad Company is Not in?!?!
Off to check, on them and J.Geils while I am there.
Tatt
He's never been nominated.
MC5 were about fifteen years ahead of their time, honestly. Truly the prototype of the punk bands of the ‘80s, except the MC5’s musicianship was better.
And let’s be real. Rob Tyner’s epic Jewfro should get them into the RRHOF on its own. That thing was TIGHT.

They’re from Finland.

I saw them recently with Omnium Gatherum, Moonspell (which I sat out) and Dark Tranquility. Was a great show.
Their current singer joined in 2004. He’s a great singer.
I always called ‘em Rage Against Daddy’s Trust Fund But Buy My Records First. Bunch of Southern California middle-class kids pretending like they were some sort of Sandinistas.
Could they rock out? Yeah. They did some songs that are great to rock out to and maybe break stuff. But RRHOF? The only way they should be in the RRHOF is if they buy admission.
MC5 should be in. Rage? Pfft.

Ha, I think I have two albums which have to be way before 2004 I am thinking. Finnish death metal on FR. You never know, hahah.
Looking at metal archives you posted I think I have ‘tales from a 1000 lakes’ and ‘story’.

The Tubes “Remote Control” (Rundgren produced) and “Young and Rich” are my two favorite albums.
Most don’t even know they exist.
Young and Rich has some remarkable gems like “Brighter Day” and “Young and Rich”. Their more experimental second album.
Remote Control is INCREDIBLE front to back.
Thank you!
When it came to White Fro's, nobody topped Don Brewer of Grand Funk Railroad.
Still no Grand Funk
Whenever I hear a song and think to myself, “I can play better than these guys...” it’s usually the MC5.
They ought to quit while they still can
