ChevyVanMiller Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) Okay Music fans, it's opinion time. What is the best band named after a place on the map? (I think I have all of the most popular, feel free to go off the board) BostonChicagoKansasChilliwackAmericaAsiaEuropeAlabamaBerlinNazareth Buffalo Springfield New York Dolls LA GunsGeorgia Satellites Edited July 17, 2015 by ChevyVanMiller
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Does George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers count? Or only bands named after only the place? Buffalo Springfield
ChevyVanMiller Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 Does George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers count? Or only bands named after only the place? Buffalo Springfield Buffalo Springfield for sure. I added them to the list. Names of backing bands don't count.
LeviF Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I have to go with Buffalo Springfield or Chicago, if backing bands don't count. Boston follows a little behind. Aside from those, bands named after geographic places generally suck. Beirut is ok too I guess. Kinda weird for my taste.
ChevyVanMiller Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 LA Guns? I added them to the list, along with the New York Dolls.
ChevyVanMiller Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 Georgia Satellites Good one, Tom. They're added.
DC Tom Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Good one, Tom. They're added. That's not a good one. Georgia Satellites suck. They had one good song - "Keep Your Hands To Yourself" - that they followed up with the unbelievably stupid "Battleship Chains." Then they mercifully disappeared.
Mark80 Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) A Few More (not saying they are great by any means, but they qualify): Alabama Shakes - alright Egypt - they have a very good 4 song self-title EP in the Stoner Rock genre Linkin Park Good Charlotte Jets to Brazil - old emo, decent Cross Canadian Ragweed - decent alternative country Phoenix (probably for the mythological creature instead of the City though) - kind of wussy, but not terrible. Virginia Coalition - my favorite of all of these. they used to put on great shows. americana/folk/rock mix. Edited July 17, 2015 by Mark80
GOBILLS78 Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 My favorite band of all time: Miami Sound Machine.
ChevyVanMiller Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 That's not a good one. Georgia Satellites suck. They had one good song - "Keep Your Hands To Yourself" - that they followed up with the unbelievably stupid "Battleship Chains." Then they mercifully disappeared. I think one hit and you're on the list, I meant "good one" because I hadn't thought of them. I agree, they were mediocre at best.
Gugny Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 That's not a good one. Georgia Satellites suck. They had one good song - "Keep Your Hands To Yourself" - that they followed up with the unbelievably stupid "Battleship Chains." Then they mercifully disappeared. "Keep Your Hands to Yourself" is a song that is nearly as bad as "Friday."

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 "Keep Your Hands to Yourself" is a song that is nearly as bad as "Friday." It was one on the first songs I learned to play on guitar.
DC Tom Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 "Keep Your Hands to Yourself" is a song that is nearly as bad as "Friday." You should listen to Battleship Chains. That's nearly as bad as Friday...
