Thank your parents that you weren’t listening to hip hop.

I had free tickets to TOOL in BR in 2000 or 2001. Smoked too much weed that night and missed the show. Feel asleep.

Have always listened to whatever music caught my ear and still do.
Grew up in the 80s and 90s so we had stations that actually played all genres of music on one station.
If its good and I like it I wanna listen.

Somebody gave me a ticket to see Andres Segovia around 1977. For some reason, I did not go. I regret this to this day.

The late great Jimi Jameson from the band Survivor. I always liked Survivor's songs even back in my youth, but only recently did I come to realize what a powerful voice he really was.

Cowpunk
Although I recall hearing a few things on KLSU. I heard a track I liked called "Lost Weekend", but I didn't learn it was by The Beat Farmers for 15+ years.
I heard isolated tracks by Rank & File, Jason & The Scorchers, The Long Ryders - their "Lookin' For Lewis & Clark" was sort of a college radio semi-hit. I saw Los Lobos on -- get this -- The Alan Thicke Show. And oh yeah there was "Watusi Rodeo" by Guadalcanal Diary
But Cowpunk had one problem: it didn't sell. It certainly could not match up with the hair metal bands puffed constantly on MTV
Cowpunk would wane and evolve into alt,country. I completely missed the early period of this, only learning about The Silos, Uncle Tupelo/Wilco, Old 97s, Gourds in the new millennium. I would eventually see all these bands (except Tupelo of course). None of them would sell much either ("Alt.country is the genre w/more bands than fans") tho Wilco would stay together long enough to have an impressive career.
The other day I heard a nice track by Cake -- it was probably closer to Cowpunk than alt.country (though it had a steel guitar). I have to wonder how much similar music is unknown to me

jdd48, this was Jimi's band before he joined Survivor. They were huge in the Memphis area in the mid 70's. They released a couple of records on the A&M label. I saw them many times in bars around town. Great band, great singer.

I would have liked to have seen Fleetwood Mac and Led Zeppelin in their prime - but not in my youth. I feel like I appreciate their music now that I’m older.

This, but Uncle Tupelo in particular. I didn’t discover this genre until Son Volt’s Trace started getting air time. I can still remember the first time I listened to No Depression some 25+ years ago.

Was Uncle Tupelo Cowpunk or alt.country?
I'd like a ruling on this

Grok has a ruled them as the OG founders of alt-country…
quote:
Uncle Tupelo is primarily considered the foundational band of alt-country, but they have strong ties to cowpunk in their early sound and influences. The distinction depends on which phase of their career (1987–1994) you’re examining. Alt-Country Label (Dominant Classification) • Core Identity: Uncle Tupelo—Jay Farrar, Jeff Tweedy, and Mike Heidorn—are widely credited with inventing alt-country through their 1990 debut No Depression, which fused punk energy with traditional country instrumentation (acoustic guitars, mandolin, fiddle, banjo) and working-class Americana lyrics.

I mean the preeminent zine/website of that movement in the 90s was named after their first record...
I feel the Silos kind of pre-dated the alt-country movement even though they were still active in those years... at least their best record was prior to it.. I feel the fell into the roots rock era of the 80s..

Spoon
They came around in the early 90’s. I do remember hearing about them back then but never listen.
Someone posted them here and I loved it. I need to go back and listen to their older stuff.
Lucifer on the Sofa is Top Notch.
I love his voice and the way he sings

I regret never having seen Colonel Bruce in any of his iterations, and he was around Atlanta playing all the time, every festival etc, no excuse for me to have never seen him.
