This is a listing of the bands and musicians that have proven the most affective in
De-Spongification tests, and is generally what is known as Good Music™. However, all
Good Music™ is not necessarily good at despongifying, so some very talented musicians
have been left off this list. Do not assume that this is a commentary or oversight.
|
|
Our methods for determining a band's worth for the use of despongification are mostly
research and testing on afflicted subjects, but also used is music theory, opinion, and
common sense. Our process of selection is not the most scientific process, but it's
results have proven successful. |
|
De-Spongification is not the only use of this list, however. We incorporate Good Music™
into our training, and encourage it's usage to all officers, to keep the mind sharp.
|
Other performers may be used for continuing therapy, such as:
Beatles
Mozart
Bach
Handel
The Alternative Genre as a whole
Rolling Stones
Perfomers similar to the above..
These bands will not de-spongify at first, but will qualify as Good Music™ (okay, maybe
the Alternative Genre is a bit iffy at times...) and they are beneficial to those who
have already been treated, as are other bands that have been left off.

Other Places to Go:
Damage Inc.- A favorite page among those who want more on metal's most
influential band.
Also see Encyclopedia Metallica.
Megadeth Arizona- The official Megadeth Website, with lots of eye
candy and plenty of news about the band and other resources.
Van Halen- The official company site for Eddie's band. Nothing else
needs to be said for it's importance.
Fear Factory- Not a popular band by any means (which is actually
a plus, according to the author of this page's NSHO.) but worthy of
further study and listening. Not a bad page, either.
LIFE OF AGONY
Life of Agony-
Also a rather unpopular band, but quite intense and shouldn't
merely get lost on the larger list to the right.
Machinehead- This band should be looked into by anyone who
is searching for something especially hardcore.
Sepultura- This Brazillian metal group should be well known to
anyone who is seeking a hardcore/powergroove type of sound with an
agressive feel.
NOTE: Most of the graphics above were lifted from the band's own
pages.
Significant Others:
Beastie Boys

In addition to the bands mentioned in the Jihad FAQ, these are the bands that are
the most proven means for de-spongification. Best results can be acheived at intensely high
volume levels. Do not allow the subject to cover his/her ears or scream. They may not hear it
if you are using a 300watt or less stereo amp. We recomend wattage towards 490, or 500, but
upwards of 1,600 will do just fine.
