Battle of the Bands

[spurraider21]

I guess I should have tried and list every single band that ever recored a record, but then I'd have...

BLEACH
Chronic Tendancies
Kolvane
Zuzu Petals
The Trash Can Sinatras

....and a few thousand others similiar.

The Jayhawks, The Silencers, The Why Store are all great but how many out there are aware of them?

I seriously doubt I don't have the top 10 bands listed.

you can't seriously confuse world famous acts like Kiss, Scorpions, Blue Oyster Cult, Wings, Bon Jovi, or Boston for obscure garage bands...

I could have listed over 5000, so somebody had to be left off.

Nobody is reading 5000 names and I'm not typing that many.

While talking music....

I shied away from Bluegrass for years, it was just TOO twangy. Then I bought a box of CD's at a thrft shop. One of the CD's was Rounders 25 Years of Bluegrass, I thought....what the . Talk about being way off on something, the talent these people have is amazing. Some amazing stuff!
