    I’d go REM. B-52s are a little weird for my tastes. And I was never a jam band guy so that eliminates widespread panic.

    Surprisingly I’m not a bigger fan for some reason

    Jam Bands are something you have to experience live rather then listen to. Then you begin to appreciate them.

    Hard to listen to "Whipping Post" on Live at Fillmore East by The Allman brothers and not really dig on it. Also "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed." Just sayin'.

    "Stormy Monday Blues" and "Mountain Jam" from the Atlanta Pot Festival -- great stuff from The Brothers as well.

    Very good list. As somebody else mentioned, it's hard to have an Athens GOAT list without Guadalcanal Diary. There's a DVD called "Athens Inside & Out" documenting the music scene during that period. I highly recommend it!

    Guadalcanal Diary is actually from Marietta which is why they didn’t make my list. Great band though. W were likely on the Athens scene at the same time. 86-90 for me. We used to break in to the Lucy Cobb chapel where REM did their Inside/Out recording. Fun times!

    Sure there are some I cannot remember but not quite 30.

    Right on...I've got the majority of those as well as some others ++
    Unfortunately, I don't count those post Mikey, he was PANIC.
    Now...they're just Widespread.
    Ain't No MIKEY = Ain't No ME.
