re: #67 albusteve
I live for screeching riffs and tear jerking blues myself…good for you bro…some of the best stuff is just across town
I was sorta lucky in that I was in high school when my city was a national music phenomenon, so it really made an impression on me when before I was just being peppered with dumb hair metal (which I am still dorky and sentimental for, but which i know is often heavily controlled by music executives and producers) , I saw these bands in Seattle whose relatives worked at local music stores I shopped at, all becoming famous, everything getting so big so fast, and then I just thought “how much other good music is in my town?”
