Wow, if you could remotely convince me of this, I might actually turn out to like MBV. Except the Adverts had so many things MBV didn't -- great hooks and great songs and a great singer, for starters. (Not sure though why MBV shouldn't be in a metal book. They've certainly influenced enough metal by now. And they had loud noisy guitars. The reason they wouldn't have made Stairway isn't 'cause they weren't metal enough; it's 'cause they weren't good enough. Just like Iron Maiden. I did put a Jesus & Mary Chain album in there, though -- and they do sound like MBV with hooks.)
