I hate the beach boys...

I did my heart good . . . to read the accolades for the Beach Boys. Their vocal combinations and chord progressions were studdied by the best.

Another important band was Crosby Stills and Nash. (formerly Buffalo Springfield, and later Crosby Stills Nash and Young) Fabulous harmonies . . . and lyrics that spoke to the period in which they were played.

The Beatles (saw them live) proved to the world, how unbelievably influential music can be to a culture and to history.

The Obsessed
Saint Vitus
Sleep
