to hear Lenny Kravitz described as Milquetoast is an insult to both Milque and Toast.

Bad Brains was a visionary rock outfit.
Fishbone was a visionary rock outfit.

Lenny Kravitz has never done anything groundbreaking or mind numbing....he is a fringe player on the rock scene at best....

Even w/o a 'BLACK ROCK' contingent....the aforementioned groups were able to thrive in their demographic because they brought the goods.

Van Hunt suffers from a combined Boring/Cornball disease and its not terminal, but its close. If you really dig his music, you are a huge fan...but if you fall outside of that...you short.
