I originally had them under "bad" but couldn't pull the trigger.  I got blindsighted by some unexpected nostalgia for long ago nights listening to my long gone Asia/Alpha double cassette.   But not enough to vault them into "OK."

New York Dolls anyone?

Also, I hate to be reminded of the existence of the Georgia Satellites but they do warrant mention here.

Manitoba

I liked Manitoba, who I think was sued by handsome Dick Manitoba and changed his name to Caribou.

Styx ? (Trying to compensate for the previous brainstorm that merely reiterated a point made in the aforelinked Michener Rock article)
