SEC Teams as Classic Rock Bands

CajunCrimson · Jul 17, 2018

I saw the Car thread -- and didn't really agree, but I'm also not "super car guy" - so I'm mostly taking people's words for it....

I was wondering how we would view SEC Teams as Classic Rock Bands.....I struggled a little to figure that out, except one....

Tennessee would be The Grateful Dead. They always sell out, had virtually zero hits, and no one really cares about them, except their faithful groupies.

What say you?

BamaMoon · Jul 17, 2018

Think Coach would say we are the "Rolling Stones."

CajunCrimson · Jul 17, 2018

I was thinking that -- or possibly AC/DC -- where we can change lead singers and still win

Georgia (to me) would be The Moody Blues -- one hit every 10-15 years -- and yet feel like they deserved to be in the Hall of Fame 20 years ago

Kinda hard to do just classic rock with all 14 teams. So I’ll try to make it without modern rock (10-present) bands.

Bama- Metallica: powerful, strong, and methodical

Auburn- the Offspring: loud, good, but always is in the running for third place

LSU- Alice In Chains : once was great but change has hurt them to the point where the only people who go see them just do it out of respect for who they once were

Ole Miss- Rockstar Super nova: you buy talent for a year but it was a flash in a pan that never meant anything

MSU- blue oyster cult: cowbell

ATM- Collective Soul- lots of hits, but always on the edge of greatness.

Arkansas- Motörhead- a lot of noise, but little to show for it when it’s all said and done.

Florida- Nirvana- a program that came screaming into the 90’s and has continued to have a cult following afterwards

Georgia- Guns N Roses- should be an constant elite talent, but something up top always ends in disaster

Kentucky- Johnny cash- has some hits in this genre, but is clearly better at another one.

USCe- Aerosmith- has great product here and there, but is okay with being in the middle of the pack.

UT- Creed- the 90’s and the early 00’s are over, and so are they

Vandy- Green Day- too smart for most, and so out of place.

Missouri- Rob Zombie- a good product but is too taboo for most listeners on the SECN

Not bad.

The only one I recognize or have listened to is Johnny Cash.

I agree with all of these. I was just going to say Alabama was Metallica.

Crimson White · Jul 17, 2018

Alabama would be The Beatles. Best band ever that supersedes genres.

Vanderbilt - Rush (nerd rock!)

I'd have gone with Bama as Led Zeppelin but maybe that's just me.

Gray is too busy keeping those darn kids off his lawn to listen to music.

Queen! "We are the champions, my friends."

Would it have helped with your recollection if the All Bran band analogy was to the 1910 Fruitgum Company, which began its rock, well, its bubblegum pop life as "Jeckell and The Hydes?"

Well done sir. The MSU reference is great.

Alice in Chains is kind of like the "Gerry and the Pacemakers" of their era

GrayTide · Jul 17, 2018

You guys are hilarious, yuck, yuck, yuck. FYI I am now really into ABBA. Now get off my lawn!

So this isn't exactly classic rock, but neither is Alice in Chains, Green Day, or The Offspring...yet.

LSU - Jimmy Buffett - fans have the best time before and after the show/game, but we're not winning any awards with the product.
