Allman Bros...even though I can't stand Greg Allman. Duane Allman and Dickie Betts were awesome.big d note wrote:

Texas is hard to call, because I love Pantera and ZZ Top. For this reason, I'll have to consider Pantera a Louisiana band, because I can't choose one of the two to represent Texas. Down has to be high in my running for Louisiana, too.

Metallica for California. Rock would be dead if it wasn't for the Black Album. There, I said it.deadphish wrote: Also, I'm gonna have to apply the same logic to the Dead in Cali. They toured for over 30 YEARS and are the highest grossing concert ticket of ALL TIME. And Cherry Garcia ice cream is pretty damned tasty.

Re: Best band from each state
I thought rock was dead BECAUSE of the black album.

I blame that on hip hop and St. Anger.Mellanby_equals_grit wrote:I thought rock was dead BECAUSE of the black album.

The Black Album certainly killed thrash. Metallica's first 4 albums were great though.

Re: Best band from each state
Master of Puppets is very high in the running for best album ever, IMO. Speaking of, for anyone who cares, they've re-released the Metallica vinyls from the first 5 albums. The standard version is a regular half-speed remastered LP, and the special edition is a mastered double vinyl (45rpm).ksbluesfan wrote:The Black Album certainly killed thrash.

Old Metallica, plus the "old" disc of Garage Inc., helped me stain and shellac a crapload of trim and doors and tear out old carpet and trim when we renovated the upstairs a few years back.

ANd Justice For All is an awesome album. It's just too bad that you cannot hear a single note played by Jason Newstead. Guess they were still bitter about Cliff.

Re: Best band from each state
As a bass player, that's the only reason I don't like that album. Jason Newstead was a good bassist. To hear people talk, you'd think it was his fault personally that Cliff Burton was dead. I still prefer Master Of Puppets, though.deadphish wrote:ANd Justice For All is an awesome album. It's just too bad that you cannot hear a single note played by Jason Newstead.

Texas: Probably a lot of choices, but Explosions In The Sky would be my pick.

I'd have to think that South Carolina goes with the Marshall Tucker Band, but they're the only band I know of from SC.

You've never heard of Nile? Technical death metal with an Egyptian theme. They're very good.Ruutu15 wrote:I'd have to think that South Carolina goes with the Marshall Tucker Band, but they're the only band I know of from SC.

Re: Best band from each state
There are so many bands from California to chose from. Slayer and Metallica alone make that state difficult.
Re: Best band from each state
Personally, Boxer and Feinstein make that state difficult for me. Oh wait, wrong forum.ksbluesfan wrote:There are so many bands from California to chose from. Slayer and Metallica alone make that state difficult.

What's the point of this thread? Everyone's taste in music is subjective anyway, we're just going for who can agree with who the most
