I couldn't agree more. Funny thing is...we could play some of their more recent stuff and people would be into it, even Ryan, until you told them/him it was Hanson. :D

:shrug:

Damn it, I just now read this thread. Send me money to fix my amp and I'll show you good music. Eventually.

I hate 311. I might even put them on the most over-rated list. They might be giants are pretty good, though...

I must admit that their music went downhill after "Transistor", but they somewhat invented a unique form of "ska" combining it with a different twist of Alternative that several bands eventually copied off of....

Definitely agree with that one...Whats your favorite album by them? To me it's a toss-up between "Sparkle And Fade" and "So Much For The Afterglow"...Can't go wrong with either one.....

I think that Sevendust is a very underrated band. I have seen them many times and they usually out perform the headliner.

Sevendust is the favorite band of Mark Grace. He would play Sevendust when he would come up to bat.

I actually mentioned them in the first post of this thread, but it certainly doesnt hurt discussing this band more.... They seldom get any airplay and I've never understood why.... Lajon Witherspoon definitely ranks as one of the best song-writers out and should get as much recognition or more than what Aaron Lewis does (not detracting away from him though).

I still think the best song Lajon wrote though was "Angel Son", his tribute to the late singer of Snot, George Strait....Actually that entire tribute album "Strait Up" is a must since it has several gems on there....

My favorite Sevendust song is "Follow", especially the guest appearance of
Aaron Lewis on that track.....

Download "Liquored Up & Laquered Down" and tell me that shouldn't replace the national anthem at all sporting events.
