316. The The

As much as we love to categorize musicians in certain genres, we sometimes come across an artist that just seems to defy those pigeonholes. With Matt Johnson and his continuous project, The The, the genres that they would be placed in seems to change which each passing album.

If we can have Bodhi from Point Break as a nominee, how about a film that celebrated surfing, or at least the spirit of it a little bit better on the ballot? From Big Wednesday we have late 70’s B Movie icon, Jan-Michael Vincent as Matt Johnson in Big Wednesday, a throwback picture to the Vietnam era. Surfing fans consider this a classic, though that is about it.
