Definitely one of the things I miss most about Austin, not just SXSW but the whole music scene in general. So many choices & some of those Texas Country bands are among the most amazing bands no one outside of Texas ever heard of.
OT... Worst band you always liked?

Great stuff! Boom clicked you another " Like " to add to your massive total!
Definitely " wasting away in Margaritaville, I believe everything you say, I hated taking the SAT's back in 1968/1969 so I don't want another SAT question today. The Chambers Brothers still sucked in concert at the Asbury Park Convention Hall back in the day!
But that was a long time ago.
We just got back for a concert this weekend:
Flamingos
Larry Chance & The Earls
Drifters
Combined band Doo Wop concert at a beach casino was tremendous!
Can still taste those Margaritas.

Good grief....any of those guys NOT on oxygen?? The Flamingos were my favs, with Dubs & Lee Andrews close behind. Actual SINGING, with harmonies and discernible lyrics. How'd I end up with the Stones???
The Flamingos have a new ( cd ) out its good. They sang most of the song at the concert. Of course they were selling the cd after the show.
It was an "older" but fun crowd! One couple in the audience was married 62 years.
I think to find any married longer they would have had to dig them up!
It could have been the couple who crowded out PittGirl in the threatre.

Saw the Doors in Asbury Pk Conv. Hall in Spring of 1968 and shortly thereafter the Chambers Bros. at Palisades Park (home of the world's largest saltwater swimming pool) and Tempo City in Bensonhurst ...
all shows memorable...as was Buck Owens and the Buckaroos, also in '68 Journal Square in Jersey City, as were the Who, Lovin' Spoonful, Cream and Rascals at a middle school Scotch Plains in '67 in perhaps the most inexplicable concert series ever
Doo Wop was at little before my time and i'm maintaining to a lifelong boycott of beach casino concerts
However, I've been to Cabbagestalk Island (rumored to be the inspiration for "Cheeseburger in Paradise") and was highly amused when Buffet got tossed from a Heat game for being obnoxious. FWIW Buffet franchises seems to have consumed large parts of AC.
Also, i seek the truth and insight, not "Likes."
"Pearls before swine," and all that, if you get my drift.
Jersey Pride, P-Head.
Ratt 'n' Roll, baby.
I saw Ratt, Poison AND the Bullet Boys all at the same show in the Johnstown War Memorial as a teen in the mid80s. I dare anyone to top that!Ratt 'n' Roll, baby.
How about Mott The Hoople, Blue Oyster Cult and The New York Dolls at the Alpine Arena in Wilkinsburg - 1973, I think.
Ratt 'n' Roll, baby.
I saw Poison, Cinderella, Winger, and Faster Pussycat at Star Lake in '02, and I saw Ratt and Extreme at the Ches-a-Rena in Cheswick back in '09.
I have come across Top Ten worst 80s songs lists -- Why "More Than Words" by Extreme isn't #1 on every list baffles me --- they are truly awful. lol
It actually didn't come out until 1991, but you're right, it's a terrible song. Their non-ballad stuff was really good, though, and Nuno Bettencourt is the best guitarist I've ever seen.
