All these bands I never heard of. I'll copy this thread and make sure I get my butt down to the squares when these bands are playing.

Default Please elaborate on why

Since everyone has such different tastes in music, I would appreciate hearing (more correctly--- reading) your reasons as to why you like a certain band or entertainer in TV and generally what type music they play.
Thanks.


PS. That 'singing' icon looks more like a baby crying! Maybe it needs a microphone.
Thanks for this thread, Tom. It certainly took off fast!

I haven't seen Yesterdayze and Rocky enough to be a judge, but as much as I like Norman Lee and The Boondock Saints, I think they play the same show too often. I've seen them three times and I can almost know what song is coming up next. A great band will throw in different songs. Norman Lee also takes too many breaks. The two times I saw Rocky & The Rollers I was amazed how long their sets were. Yesterdayze, I only caught once by chance and were impressed with what I heard.

We go to the square whenever they have Yesterdayze, Cactus Jack & the Cadillacs or Street Talk. We did like Rocky but after seeing them about six times the show doesn't seem to change. There is also several different lineups that feature Clark Barrios. He's OK if you get through his first set, then they'll start to rock.

Rocky's first set is always ninety [90] minutes.Norman Lee does forty minutes,leaves,and his band does ten more minutes.Then after a 15-20 minute break the band often leads off the second set and then Norman comes back.What does this mean? Too much Boondock Saints and not enough Norman. He does the same thing when he plays Katie Belles.Only then when he cuts out of the set ,his recorded music takes over.I guess because he's so good and people love him,he can get away with playing such short sets.By the way I love the Doc Holliday band and Bobby Blackmon.

Love to watch and listen to Norman Lee, but 20 minutes of music followed by 20 minutes of breaks is not entertaining.
