Roadside Jesus mashes science and metal

Looking a rock through a "scientific" lensI'm not sure who Roadside Jesus is, but his "Periodic Table of Rockin' " is hilarious, breaking a variety of rock bands into different "scientific" categories ranging from "Noble Gases" to "Nonmetals" and designations like "Ho" for Hall & Oates and "Lof" for Meat Loaf.
The audio introduction accompanying the "Periodic Table of Rockin' includes this wisdom:
"An element of the rockin' for me is the use of the bandanna, either as a fashion accessory or the strategic placement on the microphone. All of these bands either wear bandannas or I wear a bandanna when listening to the band."
And if you click on the tiles within the periodic table, you'll find even more insightful -- and hilarious -- supporting information on the individual band. Here's the blurb on Motorhead:
"My friend, the Lemmy from Motorhead once said, "If Motorhead moved in next to you, your lawn would die." I disagree, my friend. The lawn would not die, it would simply rock harder than any other lawn in the neighborhood. Unless you count Motorhead's own lawn."
Yes, it's silly, but in a brilliant Spinal Tap kinda way.
