Big Star. Also, my internet name evolved from the band Sonvolt. I was Sonvolt73 for a while on another (now defunct) forum, and was nicknamed "sonny" back then. So there you go. Being a Sonvolt fan means I also need to give a shout-out to Uncle Tupelo (I don't really need to mention Wilco do I?).
Hey Rodip, Thanks for the clips on The Reducers! Great band. I used to catch them at the El 'n Gee, and always loved that song. I still have it on vinyl, and never thought of looking for it on You tube. Fun stuff. I used to hang out in the local guitar shops, too. We've probably met.
I insist on Fates Warning. New album about to be released, Frank Aresti returning... and nobody seems to care:

Gary O'Connor....eighties cheese videos, but good songs on the entire record with most everything played by him....great guitar sounds and a little unknown Hamer content in the second video.
Jimmie Lee Maslin Dave Lindley The Swinging Neckbreakers Humble Gods JoJo Gunne Evan Johns and the H-Bombs The Redneck Jazz Explosion Col. Bruce Hampton and His Aquarium Rescue Unit And for the country fans.............. Hank Penny - a great California Western Swing Artist of the '40s and '50s; many musicians in his band also played with Bob Wills and Spade Cooley. Texas Jim Lewis and His Lone Star Cowboys - another wonderful Western Swing artist of the '40s and '50s. Moon Mullican - one of the great country pianists; you don't hear much about him these daze, but he was a good'un. Billy Briggs and his XIT Boys - great Amarillo, Texas, Western Swing artist of the '40s and '50s.
