I have these CD's because I like to keep up with whats happening in music.
& I do agree that Marvelous 3,Bottlefly,Fastball,SR71,Tal Bachman are great
in the song writers Dept. You guys are only looking for major label stuff (All the majors are signing all the groups with similar sounds)

Have you heard of The Shazam,Wonderland,Michael Carpenter,Owsley,
David Mead. These guys make the current crop look like babies.They have talent.
Notice any guitar solos by band members , look at Mars Electric they
need an outside guitar player to do the lead parts. These are pretty boys
put together to make some dough. They play guitar like amatures.

Where are the groups that'll mean something 5 years down the road,
Like Queen,U2,Springsteen,Red Hot Chillipeppers,Led Zep,Stones,Yes.
Dave Mathews Band.
Marvelous 3 were Southgang in the 70's a LA hairband,Lit was a glam
band, then they see the trends & change their sound.
I'm glad you enjoy new music but I'm saying is they all have no identity
they are interchangable.
