| blues at it's best, this man died in the year my father was born if I'm correct |
| the best country band on the planet |
| mid-nineties charming lo-fi indierock from NYC |
| NYC legends in one band, cool but sadly not that long-lived |
| NYC heavily Hank Williams' inspired rootsy stuff, pots'n'pans, a violin, everything is there |
| classic band from the early seventies, for sure the best band to ever have over 5 singles in the dutch top 10 |
| Seattle - legends in a supergroup, there's early stuff from 1992 and later stuff from 3 years ago and onwards and everything is cool |
| we dig them too, again a supergroup, this time from NYC, they started very noisy and ended up on the dutch radio even with catchy soulfull indie rock, halfway the nineties they were signed to a big label, a mistake on both sides probably, independent underground bands with a decent reputation and a good following need to be VERY CAREFULL with major labels, though it can work out well |
| Californian politically correct punk, their debut LP is among the best, this is played for Agnes |
| Ah another (I guess the last) band with only singles out (actually one-and-a-half 7" really), but as they made the best dutch 7" ever they're here |
| classic track, ripped-off a lot, and about the most unlikely chartbustin' hit ever (as this was on no. 5 in the billboard charts in 1961) |
| you know 'm, a big influence for lots of bands on the list, from Detroit too naturally |
| one of the most original bands on the list, pots'n'pans blues, defunct but way out good |
| legendary man Jeff Conolly's second band, classic garage at it's best, the band still exists by the way |
| aussie bulldozerpunk, reconsidering the list I think I made a mistake in not having 'm in the top 40, next time I'll make up for that |
| Seattle punkgods, made one of the best albums in the early nineties and still going strong (as a country / punk / rock band) |
| lo-fi songwriting and performing hero from the strangest state in the US (that's Texas) |
| sweet sweet sweet garage sixties pop from Detroit |
| classic garageband on thee label in the genre, the label is run by the former singer, former because they quitted some years ago |
| punk classic, this will have the same reputation in ten years as The Damned now ... believe me |
| country-hero, died too early, but classic stuff, essential |
| the definition of countrypunk, they played VERA three or four times in the early nineties and I'll never forget 'm |
