I almost feel sorry for BOC, I am a fan of their music, but nowadays whenever anyone hears about them all anyone thinks about is more cowbell. :lol:

 

 

:lol::lol:

Eli Young Band

Galactic

The String Cheese Incident

The Tommy Webb Band

 

80's All Starz

 

Get a load of these guys... I ran across this band at Disney World and it turns out that they're actually one heck of a cover band - complete with 80's attire and all:

 

 

 

(I just included this one because I was actually there)

Government Cheese

 

Have you been able to find any of their old albums (vinyl or otherwise) anywhere? I've been on the hunt for some of the old vinyl, cassettes or singles for years, with no luck. I sent an e-mail to Tommy Womack a few months back after finally getting a hold of a copy of his book "The Cheese Chronicles," and he told me they were looking into remastering the old albums and re-releasing them.

 

I've got Let it Be. What are your favorites by them?

 

Let It Be is a good place to start, and the last of the indie (TwinTone) releases. I would recommend, after that, in this order:

 

Tim (Sire)

Sorry Ma, Forgot To Take Out The Trash (TwinTone)

Pleased To Meet Me (Sire)

Hootenanny (TwinTone)

All Shook Down (Sire)

Don't Tell A Soul (Sire)

 

By alternating this way, you would get to dip into their indie years (which are more punk in their stylings, but a little bit of their country/folk leanings can be found), while the Sire releases have a bit cleaner production and tend to be more singer-songwriter confessional songs mixed in with straight-on rockers, but with some punk edginess as well.

Red Cross Ave. Maybe Jim has heard of them.

Thank you, Jim. It'll take a while but I'll make it a point to try to do just that.

My roommate is way, way too obsessed with the song Jamilia.

 

And how is Ben Folds not heard of?

Ben Folds has some pretty good stuff. Here is a bio of his.

Alright RTS, lay it on us!

 

One of my top 5 favorite bands.

It's really more of a drunk chic and me story. I had the same problem at a fairly recent Bob Seger concert. :creepy:

So I realized I forgot to mention a band called Wolf Parade. I don't know much about them, but they have a really good album called "Apologies to the Queen Mary". Thier demo version of the song 'Modern World' is even better than the album version, though. Some people may not dig the lead singer, but if you can get past that they have a really good sound IMO.

 

If I had to make a comparison I'd say they sound like a modern more upbeat version of Joy Division.

Sigur Ros

Trio (German band from the 80's)

From Autumn to Ashes

Rise Against

 

Neither especially underground, unknown bands... But nobody I talk to at work seems to know them and I get weird looks when I wear the tee shirts. :lol:

 

 

They're definitely a little to hardcore for most people.

Same goes for me whenever I wear my TOOL tee's.
