Nothing subjective about it, it's all math.  

Nothing subjective outside of the subjective awarding of point values to unquantifiable things like "visual impact", "attitude" and "intangibles".

Is Butthands being sarcastic or sincere? I honestly can't even tell anymore.

Green font. Although I appreciate the mention of some bands that don't get enough credit. Like Dokken.

Hater/jealous...ist (?) of Grantland that I am, I think getting butthurt over this piece (which I don't think BH was but I know that people will) is pointless. It's a fun (in spirit, anyway) attempt at combining sabermetrics with Klosterman's weird musical tastes which somehow ranks Wavves just below the Doors and what the fuck is wrong with this lesbian hipster asshole?

I'm not particularly butthurt by it (having not read it) but I would like to point out that Klosterman is a hack.

Simmons still has a wealth of sycophants out there - I don't get it. That piece of shit article was deservedly torn to shreds. Has anyone ever been so far up his own ass?

I'll be the first to admit that I'm much less anti-Simmons than most and that article was an atrocious, steaming pile of shit.

No, Park Ridge, by all means name a street after this corpulent, waddling, unaccomplished fuckhammer.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.
