Survey: The Whitest Band In Rock

Do you ever drive down MLK Boulevard and wonder why no one is playing Frank Zappa’s "Weasels Ripped My Flesh" on the street corner? Have you recently gone to the NAACP website and been disappointed to notice that the partnerships section has no Drag City Records link? Do you ever wonder why no one ever gives you the knowing look of a fellow hipster when you wear your The Faint t-shirt to the Chinese Cultural Center? Well there’s a simple reason for that, you’re white and your people are the only ones on the planet willing to make and care about such noodling bullshit. In the spirit of racially charged music appreciation, throw on an early Genesis record and please help us definitively select the whitest musicians of all time.
