Tesla.



One of the best rock bands of the 80s/90s. They incorporate blues, classic rock and metal into their stuff to perfection, and the guitar work in their songs is incredibly creative and complex. As another poster stated, they don't really fit into any mold. They are genre breaking, and to me that's the making of a great band.

They are fantastic live as well.

They were my first concert (Firehouse opened).

I was a freshman in HS and my uncle drove over from Mobile, picked me up in Destin, drove us to Pcola for the show, drove me home and then trucked all the way back to Mobile that night.

He knew how important that experience would be for me.

I also found out years later he had a pretty substantial coke habit. Prob explains the marathon driving!

The guys from Tesla were all very good musicians and they did not marry themselves to any particular sub-genre. Good blues, good hard rock. Really good acoustical sets.

I thought Tesla was going to be huge when they broke out in the mid 80’s.
