Had a list of 10 bands every senior at OU should see at least once before the school year ends. Keep in mind, I'm trying to be eclectic. The bands I listed tend to bring in larger crowds, and they tend to be the best in their fields. Any thoughts about acts I should add / remove? The list is in no particular order: Royales Papadosio October Fist We March Jesty Beatz Southeast Engine Dragline Bros. JD Hutchison The Neverevers Black Spyral Dancer

However --and I'm not saying they are my favorite band on the planet-- Papadosio is the most popular "jam" band in Athens, take them off the list, and there is no jam representation. This is meant to be an all-inclusive list. Not everyone shares our tastes. Likewise, BSD are pretty popular too. They manage to fill venues despite being looked down upon by much of the local music scene.... The Makebelieves would have definitely been on the list, but aren't they broken up now? Isn't Johnny outta here? Hmmm... Good points, I will have to think more about them. Any other advice.

Ok, new list... 10 Local Musical Acts to See Before You Graduate Royales - dance funk covers Papadosio - electronic jam October Fist - prog metal Skeletonwitch - metal, with their own signature drum sticks :-) We March - punk Jesty Beatz - hip-hop Southeast Engine - Americana folk rock Dragline Bros. - rock and roll JD Hutchison - blues singer/song writer The Neverevers - indie retro Honorable Mention: The Makebelieves - hyper psychedelic rock Black Spyral Dancer - prog funk metal OU Marching 110 - big brass band at football games

This school year might be really good for them. Hopefully, some students catch on to the craze. Dance or Die should be on the list, but who do I bump? The newest act on the list is also the only act with women in it, The Neverevers? Geeze, its a tough one. I could make it the list "11 musical acts to see before you graduate" in honor of the 11 years of AMN's existence? I like the thought of pairing the band with the bar. But I don't want to turn this into a Union love fest. We all already know the Union is one of the most important bars for the local music scene. Perhaps I can do another story, "10 Bars to Visit Before You Graduate" Thoughts?
