[HEADING=2]The Allman Brothers Band[/HEADING]

The Allman Brothers Band formed in 1969 in Macon, Georgia, United States and blended different strains

of Southern Rock related music— Blues, Country, Gospel, Jazz, and more— into a flexible, jam-oriented

Rock and Roll style.

 

Reflecting the emergence of the "New South" and setting the style for Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Marshall

Tucker Band, and many other bands, the Allman Brothers Band also oddly— or eerily, some would say—

had an unusual string of untimely deaths, a pattern similar to other Southern rockers. Through personal

tragedy and turmoil, the group endured for decades.

(b 1491-d 1557). Gauthier, who left the company in 2001, now owns the ski area Le Massif, on the St.

[HEADING=2]Dead Kennedys[/HEADING]

 

Dead Kennedys are a punk rock band that formed in San Francisco, California, USA in 1978. During its initial

eight-year run with original vocalist Jello Biafra, the band attracted controversy for their provocative content

and were among the first to define the style of 1980s hardcore punk.

 

Dead Kennedys' lyrics were usually political in nature, satirizing the Reagan Administration and the American

establishment in general, as well as popular culture and even the punk movement itself.

 

Several stores refused to stock their recordings, sparking debate about censorship in rock music.
