Any band that is loosely based in NOLA counts (Tab Beniot, Sonny Landreth, etc..)
Posted on 9/5/14 at 9:36 am to HeadyBrosevelt
Sonny Landreth and Tab Benoit are not from NOLA. Acadiana and BR/Houma, respectively.
ETA: See you got it covered. Carry on...

Lil Wayne is represented by Cash Money Millionaires, along with Mannie Fresh, Birdman, Juvenile, BG, Turk, etc..
Posted on 9/5/14 at 9:38 am to monsterballads
Lots of non-NO stuff here. Landreth is associated more with Lafayette.
Zebra and Sonny at Tier 3?? Not a chance. Zebra is a 2 at minimum. They're not a 1 only because they didn't last very long.
Normals = Tier 2
Back Beats = Tier 3
the Cold = tier lol
and if we're including BR like we seem to be, what about the Shitdogs?

Isn't that Ellen deGeneres' brother's band?
Zebra was great, I agree. Their short career however has them stuck in upper Tier III.

zebra better than dash rip rock? I think bill having the career he's had is worth putting him and his band in tier 3

"The Fat man...tier 1"
You could argue that Armstrong and Fats should be in Tier 1 by themselves.
How about Pete Fountain?

Yes. Zebra is the only New Orleans-based rock band that still gets regular plays on FM radio.

Great list, but I feel like you're giving short shrift to what was once a vibrant early rock and then R&B scene. My problem is that I don't know that stuff so well.
Definitely add Fats Domino and maybe Ernie K-Doe, too?
