Going through the Most Awesome Nashville Rock Song data, it becomes clear pretty fast that nothing's clear. Considering that The Features took home that hot slice of local rock pie and won this election with a mere 13.5 percent of the popular vote, that should give you an idea about the diversity of opinion. A list of selected "others" after the jump.

Apollo Up!
AutoVaughn
Born Empty
Cage the Elephant
Cortney Tidwell
Ghostfinger
Glossary
Heypenny
Hotpipes
Jack Silverman Ordeal
Jensen Sportag
Kindergarten Circus
Makeup and Vanity Set
Paper Rival
Red Sea Pedestrians
Shoot the Mountain
Six Mile Stare
Stateside
The 8th Grade
The Nobility
The Pink Spiders
The Privates
The Raconteurs
The Shazam
The Sleep Study
Vince Gill
Wax Fang

Thanks for voting mom!

Jack Silverman's Mom said:

Well you don't call, you don't write, I figured this was a way I might get you to respond! But don't worry about me, I'm doing OK, not that you asked. And what's with all these meshuggenah band names? The Sleep Study? Shoot the Mountain? Now, the Raconteurs, that's not bad. Sounds like what your Uncle Maury would name his band...you know he tells a great story. And Red Sea Pedestrians? There's a name I can appreciate. Did I ever tell you that your great-great-great-great-great-great-uncle Jehoshaphath actually crossed the Red Sea with Moses? Did you get the cookies I sent? You sound thin.

that's some good shit.

not a cream fan said:

After looking at that pie chart I finally understand why everybody who comments on this blog is such an asshole.

malina said:

I never seen someone anonymously call himself an asshole. Amazing.

Larry Mell said:

i'm calling my next band 'pea green majority'.

malina's boyfriend said:

Malina you know it's true.

Dillon said:

even if it was only one person, thank you to whoever said the kindergarten circus was you favorite local band. i did not expect to be on that list AT ALL.

simple mike said:

It's an honor just to be mentioned in the same breath as Vince Gill.

Lance said:

Isn't Wax Fang from Louisville?

what about... said:

...Magic Wands??

Where are the good bands? said:

Where's JEFF on that list? De Novo Dahl? BYOP?

hey dumbass said:

At the risk of appearing like I'm pointing out the obvious, it looks like NO ONE VOTED FOR THEM.

yeah but... said:

it's a list on the Cream, therefore JEFF should be on it.

hey dumbass said:

Well then, it appears they are failing at their alleged local rock homerism.

dengar said:

hey hey dumbass,

when you say "it appears they are failing at their alleged local rock homerism." who do you mean by "they"?

not mentioned in a local blog poll said:

i guess people were too busy voting for "Heypenny" or "the Carter Administration"

hey dumbass said:

hey dung-ar,

I mean the Cream when I say "they." The comment "it's a list on the Cream" seems to imply that JEFF, DND, or BYOP would automatically be included on any list the Cream comes up with. Too complicated?

dengar said:

the Cream didn't come up with the list. it was people who filled out the survey. too fuckin complicated for you?

dengarsaur jr. said:

Maybe they're(meaning the cream)finally figuring out that 15 year olds don't read this blog and they took those bands off the list.

hey dumbass dung-ar said:

Christ, of course the Cream didn't come up with the list, it was a reader poll. Can you read?

dengar said:

listen.

you said: "they are failing at their alleged local rock homerism"

i asked who you meant by "they."

you said, "i mean the Cream."

the Cream did not come up with the list. (we both agree!)

so, how can the Cream be "failing" at anything by not including such-and-such band on a list that they didn't make? they can't.

see, dumbass, it's not hard if you think before you type.

your friend,
dengar
former 15 year old

oh my god said:

oh my god dude you are so right.

it's everybody's god said:

are you dorks finished?

someone voted for the shazam.

yes we're finished said:

And the 8th Grade. Must've been that dude from the 8th Grade's mom.

correction said:

Where it says "others" on the chart it should say "JEFF".

actually said:

Jeff didn't even make the others list dude, that should tell you how out of touch you are.

correction said:

well "dude", I know that when I've gone to see a bunch of the other bands on that list, the place was mostly empty and not even the bartender was paying attention (sorry other bands.) When I go see JEFF, people are there and they're right up front ROCKING OUT. So Fuck you.

actually said:

yeah I guess a bunch of 15 year olds running into each other and the band makes the band cool.You didn't even vote either because Jeff isn't on the list so FUCK YOU you fucking idiot!!!
