Very good list. As somebody else mentioned, it's hard to have an Athens GOAT list without Guadalcanal Diary. More recently I've been a fan of Maserati.
I attended UGA Art & Graphic Design school during the musical Renaissance period in Athens and I feel all the richer for it. The scene back then was so alive and new that's it hard to put into words what it was really like. There's a DVD called "Athens Inside & Out" documenting the music scene during that period. I highly recommend it!
"Stormy Monday Blues" and "Mountain Jam" from the Atlanta Pot Festival -- great stuff from The Brothers as well.
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!
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.
