Because of the rules I could not list Prince and the Revolution more than once but I would have .
Here's a little JJ Grey. Hard not to like this song, no matter what your tastes.
B-52s played the UGA Coliseum when I was a student in 1984. The previous year REM played a free show at Legion Pool. This wasn’t the old 40watt club 70s days but still fun to see these Athens originals in their earlier years.
I do remember a guy at my high school circa 1979 walking around with a petition to “Ban the B52s because this was NOT music.” I refused to sign and started humming the notes to “Private Idaho” back at him.
”Rock Lobster” was a staple at almost every UGA party during the 80s.
I think it still is a staple. One of my all-time favorite songs.
Definitely remember both. I couldn't quite get the B-52s to work in any category, but I went back and listened to them recently and they were really very original back in the day.
"Original" is a very good way of putting it. One of those bands where most of their stuff is just too unconventional but every once in a while crank out a classic. It makes you wonder how such a consistently weird sounding band came up with an absolute rock masterpiece in Rock Lobster.
I'm not that old but I did see them at Legion Field. I think that was 1988???
I know Zac Brown personally, he lived here in Carrollton while he was attending the University of West Georgia and played all of the local bars. I met him at a bar called Loco's one night because he needed a bass player so I sat in with him and played a few songs. He's a really cool guy!!! My boss was in the same fraternity with Zac and knew him well. We both took off one weekend back in 2017 and went up to Zacs house and chilled with him, drank beer and road four wheelers.
I am definitely not a country fan, but I would absolutely go to a Zac Brown concert.
Zac absolutely comes across as real and genuine. And man.....that band is extremely talented. Has to be the most talented group of musicians in country music.....although Union Station is pretty talented as well.
Zac Brown's cover of Bulls on Parade is awesome.
My dad was a West Georgia "Brave" and my mom worked for Newt when he was at West Georgia
Yeah, Zac is really laid back and well reserved when he needs to be but he can party with the best of them.
Not only saw them but knew them. Buts that's nothing, I do hope Dawgnation member @TomGrose chimes in. He's worked with too many legends of music to even list. Those old enough to remember the ATL music scene in the 80ties may remember him as Tom Grose and the Varsity.
@TurkDawg - was at that coliseum show, tons of fun, probably stepped on your foot as we were dancing our Idaho’s off- sorry. Thing I remember hearing was that the band was pissed it wasn’t sold out/packed to the gills.
