One of my favorite bands from the 90s was called Trip Shakespeare. They were AWESOME! Psychedelic pop with the muscularity of Pearl Jam. Brilliant wordsmiths and tunesters with a ROCKIN live show. They then broke up and one of them became well known in Semisonic and as a song-writer for the Dixie Chicks (Dan Wilson). But I always felt that Trip Shakespeare should have and could have been HUGE. What's your choice?

Trip Shakespeare ROCKED! I was a faithful attendee whenever they played Kirby's Bar in Moorhead, MN so many moons ago.I LOVED Elaine Harris' mad drum skills and she played standing up. Such awesome talent! Minneapolis circa 1980's also produced noteworthy bands like the Urban Guerillas, The Phones and The Wallets (complete with a jamming accordianist!) who should have all made the big time.

My best friend's brother was in an up and coming band called The Myddle Class in the mid-60's. They were destined for greatness but that dream died when he got murdered in Boston. Terrible loss. Look them up.

Oval Opus! A fantastic southern rock band out of Cincinnati...I saw them for the first time in a bar in Columbus and was hooked. Great original music, and they put on a killer show.
