Well, I'm jumping back in with another list, and this could be the best I've found since the '50 Most Influential' that I started about 2 years ago and faithfully posted about each week until all 50 had been mentioned. It created a fair amount of interest and debate (remember Resident Loser?).This will last half that time, but I hope it helps to create a little excitement...well, let's say interest...around here since it's been somewhat dead of late. Here goes nothing...

# 25 The Allman Brothers Band - At the Fillmore East - haven’t had your fill of “Whipping Post,” you didn’t grow up on FM Radio. Southern Rock never quite reached its potential--unless you consider Molly Hatchet transcendent--but its roots were sharp and shaggy. Had Duane Allman lived, would he have had the power to re-route its course? As the mystics say, who knows?

This remains one of my personal favorites; Hot 'Lanta, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed...great stuff all. What say you?
