Ray Davies, the 88

(Neptune) Creator of some of history's most indelible, powerful riffs ("You Really Got Me," "All Day and All of the Night," "Big Sky"), crafter of some of history's most beautiful melodies ("Shangri-La," "Waterloo Sunset," "See My Friend"), author of some of history's sharpest rock lyrics ("I'm Not Like Everybody Else," "David Watts," "Lola")—Kinks main man Ray Davies occupies one of the most zenithy spots in the pantheon. So even if he's only playing solo acoustic guitar or being backed by the 88, Davies has the stacked catalog and London-cured charisma to deliver world-class entertainment, even as a sexagenarian.

Doomriders, Heiress, Baptists, Occult SS

(Highline) When I tried to find some Occult SS to listen to online, a pop-up window asked me, "Nazi UFOs—do they exist?" You know, I'm not sure if UFOs do exist—especially not ones flown by the Nationalsozialismus—but I can say Seattle's Occult SS are real. They do not sound like Germans. They sound like Swedish hardcore punks all mixed up with a couple of death-metal dudes. Their drummer seems to have mastered the d-beat (named after late-'70s UK street-punk band Discharge), which is now most commonly found anchoring crust bands. This music is all very fast, hard, and heavy. It probably would be appropriate to play OSS while riding around in a UFO (but again, I'm not saying those even exist). KELLY O

Screeching Weasel, the Queers, the Piniellas

(El Corazón) I used to love Screeching Weasel. And I've known all along that singer Ben Weasel is an asshole—that's his shtick! But last year, he took it too far. Not only did he punch two women during the band's SXSW performance (including one woman who was just trying to break up the fight), but he also went on a rant on the Pop Punk Message Bored, attacking a transgender user by saying things like "I'd like to see you without your wang tucked between your legs" and "What's it like to force yourself to call a dude 'she'? If he tells you that you have to pretend the Earth is flat or his feelings will be hurt, will you do that too?" It's no wonder his band has broken up 800 times, his label and management have left him in the dust, and the Queers are one of the only bands left who'll still tour with SW. These days, Ben is just a pathetic, right-leaning, cantankerous old man clawing to stay in the spotlight any way he can. MEGAN SELING
