how is pow wow music considered rock
edit never mind I just saw you had musicians, for some reason I thought it was rock.
Please, dear God, make Cross Canadian Ragweed disappear. Thankfully, the cult hasn't caught on in Texas yet. But, a couple of years ago when I was living in Tulsa...insufferable. Spare, redundant fratboy "music".

whew.
i thought for sure Rhino would put the Dirt Poets at the bottom of the list.
i'm guessing top 50.

Aren't they an aggy band?Originally Posted by Rogue
I like Cross-Canadian and you're crazy if you think it hasn't caught on in Texas. I know TONS of fans of the band down here. You may not hear them on your local radio station, but that's not all that surprising.
Hell, there are posters promoting their tour all over campus. My UT friends are especially into them.
I'm not sure if I should laugh at this or not. Mixed emotions setting in.
Edit - Oh yeah, if Eddie Cochran doesn't make this Top 100 list I'm going to be very critical of Rhino.

Rhino,
This is top notch listmaking. What a task you got. And pulling up acts I've never heard of. Tremendous.
I don't necessarily agree with everything I say.

When I was a senior at BTW, Reed Mathis was a freshman, and he played bass in the band we put together for the big yearly talent show. I was on guitar. We played "Tommy the Cat" by Primus, which basically meant I stood there and made noise while Reed utterly floored the universe with his playing. The dude was what, 14 at that point? Maybe 15?
Funny thing was how he was always grinning slightly, there was never any effort involved.
Eddie Cochran was a tough one for me to exclude.Edit - Oh yeah, if Eddie Cochran doesn't make this Top 100 list I'm going to be very critical of Rhino.
After doing some digging, it turns out Eddie never was from Oklahoma. This guy from Choctaw did a bunch of research on Eddie and his family and determined that Eddie only lived here for a few months in 1953 between a move from Minnesota to California. One of Eddie's cousins said Eddie told everyone he was from Oklahoma just to lend legitimacy to his country and western duo with Hank Cochran.
Don Cherry is way too low.

Yeah, I know... but that's just a technicality, he was an Okie at heart!

Good call on Jimmy Lafave. I'm a big fan of his music. Throw in Kevin Welch too while you're at it.
Unfortunately, I think you'll have to leave Merle off the list. I wish he was actually an Okie from Muskogie. I guess his family did have Oklahoma roots.
Edgar Cruz and Gary P. Nunn, I don't think I saw them mentioned but I could have missed it.

Oh yeah, I nearly forgot...
This is truly an awesome task, kudos for putting some serious thought into it.
