[QUOTE=WillieMorgan;4630880]I don't follow you there. What's the line that makes me prefer Blackberry Smoke to Black Stone Cherry do you mean? Something called personal choice. The same reason that you aren't particularly impressed with the credentials of either Ghost or QotSA.
Back on topic, I actually missed a couple of bands out last time. There's Alter Bridge, a far more palatable band than Creed were and who have built up a really large audience here in the UK. Then there's both Cadillac Three and Rival Sons that I'd recommend. When I see the level of hype attached to Greta Van Fleet I feel for Rival Sons, whose thunder they seem to have at least partially stolen. Great band Rival Sons that deserve a larger audience.[/QUOTE]
No, not that.
I like Blackberry Smoke just fine. It's just that they hit me about like The Black Crowes or The Four Horsemen(another one AC/DC fans might want to look into).
I don't know that I could find where their "Modern" twist was if I was to go looking for it. Not a weakness, mind you. I just don't know that it's there(outside of that "Modern" happens to be the period of time they are operating in).
Blackberry Smoke just stuck out as a very particular example of that.
