Since we have hated / overrated bands, why not do best / fav. bands

Colton · Post by **Colton** » Thursday Jul 29, 2004

In no order:
--Pink Floyd (old and new)
--Tool (and the older APC)
--Allman Brothers Band
--Nirvana (not exactly for musical talent, not for "what they did or didnt do for blah blah music scene whatever", but for stage presence, and the fact i would have loved to be in that band, regardless..uh oh, i feel an "end of post" rant coming on, maybe not, "KEEP IT IN!!!!" )
--Felix, Bob, and Jeff
--Primus (alowishus devadander abercrombie)
--NIN
--Zed Leppelin i guess
--Limp Bizkit (haha just kiddin!)
--Oh, and any cover band who plays any of the above bands and doesnt butcher it(now theres a rarity), cept bizkit, who cares if they get butchered (what goes around comes around, right?)

Email our program director, Tommy Edwards. Go to www.rocky1049.com for all the information.

I posted about Mandatory Metal before, and I told everyone, if you want more than 2 songs a night, you have to let the station know (in a POSITIVE way) that you want it. Your voice will be heard, but you have to say something first.
