You really thought they weren't going to play their single?

They'll play another song

Wouldn't that be an exception to eras gone by? Why shouldn't the 90's be defined by grunge, or the 80s by synthesizers, or the 70s by harmony and disco, or the 60s by hippies, or the 50s by bebop, or the 40s by folk, or the 30s by swing? Those generations weren't defined by their underground sounds.

Really? The 50'e for me is defined by rock and roll such as chuck berry, Elvis, buddy holly etc

I agree. When they're good, they're good. Can't complain about that.

I figured as much. Don't usually watch this stuff live.

Chick can sing.

Well then you don't know anything about the Alabama shakes.

They aren't some angsty band.

They are a soul rock band from Athens, AL

Did they make the Top 40, or did you have to search for those acts?

I did not say they were.

Wow. Thank you.

Brittany´s anguished. Leave it at that.

Now, if you equate that with soul, then tell me why Sam Cooke was one of greatest soul artists of all times. He may not have been happy IRL, but he certainly didn´t transmit pain or anguish.

Exactly.

Anyway... let's hope the Shakes rock their closing act. Their first one was worth sticking around to find out.

I asked you to tell me why Sam Cooke was great. I didn´t ask you to respond with a question.

Pretty different from the Alabama shakes. Shakes are heavily BLUES influenced.
