Sonic Youth - They've put out -way- more crap than not, so yes.
Talking Heads - Were better when Busta Jones was added on bass.
Pixies - Some might claim that they suck. I wouldn't.
White Zombie - Fuck yes. Although, they'd still suck with any gender on bass.


Although I made a few exceptions in my list of rules, I assume that the bands we're talking about in this thread are bands we've never heard of, who are about to play a set in a club we're in.
