"The 20 Greatest Cult Heroes"

.


The UK's New Musical Express (NME) magazine named "The 20 Greatest Cult Heroes" in their latest issue.

Look who cruises in at #6 (nominated by Julian Casablancas of The Strokes), why it's Dayton Ohio's very own GUIDED BY VOICES!

A couple other favorites of mine made the cut as well: The Replacements (#4), Daniel Johnston (#9)
, Television Personalities (#20), and at the #1 spot - none other than my old chum, Mark E. Smith of The Fall.

But let's hear it for our hometown lads!
