Forget Southern Rock...How about some NORTHERN ROCK!

Boynton Beach FL

Description

What is this obsession with Southern Rock? I mean, how many extended length guitar solos played by guys in Confederate Flag T-shirts can we have?? Way more great rock music came out of the North. Major platinum selling, stadium filling Artists like Dave Grohl, Steve Miller, Glenn Frye, Bob Seger, Kid Rock, John Cougar Mellencamp, Jack White, Axl Rose, Chrissie Hynde (Pretenders), Ted Nugent, etc...all hail from Michigan, or one of the other Great Lake States. Bands like Chicago, Cheap Trick, REO, Styx, Smashing Pumpkins, Devo, The BoDeans, Violent Femmes, The Knack, The Romantics, Alice Cooper, Grand Funk, Iggy and the Stooges, etc...all from the same region. And thats just the Rock Radio artists. It would take another post to list all of the great Funk, Soul, and Motown artists that are from Chicago, Detroit, and Ohio. Enough of the Southern Rock! 3 chords and a 5 minute guitar solo gets pretty boring after about the third song. Would anyone be interested in putting together a NORTHERN ROCK BAND? Featuring popular songs from the artists and bands listed above? Heck, half of the population down here is from UP NORTH. I bet a good band covering Seger, Mellencamp, Grand Funk, Cheap Trick, Nugent, Cooper, Devo, Steve Miller, Kid Rock, etc...would go over huge!
