July 19, 200619 yr QUOTE(soxpride77 @ Jul 19, 2006 -> 09:35 AM) But of course, who can forget Jack McDowell's band? I saw Jack play live about 3 years ago and picked memento mori. There is a hidden track on there with vocals by Eddie Vedder. It's a beautiful song that probably the most die hard Pearl Jam fans are unaware of. Edited July 19, 200619 yr by spanky

July 19, 200619 yr I've never seen a local group I liked as much as when I lived in Minnesota: Alva Star. Love them. If you ever get the chance, I would recommend seeing them. Very nice guys too.

July 19, 200619 yr Cheap Trick I'm not a fan of many Chicago bands, though The Last Vegas is fairly decent from what I have heard out of them. I still need to get theirs though. The Gaza Strippers were O.K., but I carry a slight bias towards them. The Love Dictators will rule everything though once they get their heads together.
July 19, 200619 yr i thought we were looking for local bands that haven't made it... or else wilco would obviously be mine. and rhymefest.
