the greatest iowa band ever is....

[Cydole]

Dusty, from 35" mudder is a buddy of mine. I talked to him last month and he was thinking about getting the boys back together to do a couple shows. No idea if it has legs. May have been the beer talking.

I know I'm in the minority, but I really don't care for the Nada's music. Every song sounds virtually the same to me.

could not agree with this more!

Despite the overlap in membership, it's rare that you find someone who likes both SlipKnot and Stone Sour. Plain and simple they are two different bands with two completely different sounds.

Not like Alice in Chains/Mad Season or Tool/A Perfect Circle.

Oh so very true. I've been a slipknot fan for some good time now, but I really really struggle to enjoy Stone Sour. Not saying they don't have a couple of songs that I like, but with Slipknot, I love everything they've done.

Horseshoe Spatulas and Slipknot

Anybody remember Lunchbox. They always sounded good! But then again..I was always drinking too

 

[Wx4Cy]

The Flying Marcupials (sp)

how about c.w. mccall and his convoy? i think that was in the top 100 1 hit wonders ever. i think the dude is from pisgah iowa.

Actually, I believe the guy (can't remember his real name but it is not CW McCall) behind "Convoy" is from Omaha and he is also the guy behind Mannheim Steamroller.

When I first got to ISU the Daily ran a feature saying that Slipknot and 35 Inch Mudder were about to hit it big. A few months later Slipknot's album went platinum and I have to idea what happened to Mudder but a lot of people said they were better.

I'd also forgotten about Mr. Plow. I remember when they left Iowa to move to California or something.

Corey Moss was the name... I believe he was an Entertainment editor at the Daily.

EDIT: Corey was the guy who was managing them back in the day...

No, it was Chad something. He was in the sports department.

My wife says the same thing

I have been trying to think of the most commercially successful music artist(s) to come out of Iowa. I don't believe any of the names (most of which I have never heard of) here would qualify. Didn't Don and Phil Everly (The Everly Brothers) from back in the 50s and 60s hail from somewhere in SE Iowa...Red Oak possibly? Is there another act that would be bigger than they were from Iowa?

How about this guy:

Howard Andrew "Andy" Williams (born December 3, 1927 in Wall Lake, Iowa) is an American pop singer. Andy Williams has recorded 18 gold and three platinum certified albums.

I would go with Slipknot, Mindrite (can't believe someone mentioned them before me for once), Stone Sour's pretty good, and Four Word Cause isn't bad.

 

[cycloneman003]

you are all stupid... it HAS to be Slipknot... no way to top them

 

[clonedude]

Anyone else remember The Sundogs right around 1990 at ISU?

I loved this band! Many a night I would partake in the consumption of way too many adult beverages and their music. Anyone know what happened to them? I take it they were all students or something and just broke up after school.
