Ten Questionable Bands Everyone Listened to at My College


6. String Cheese Incident
What Part Of Colorado Are They From? Telluride
Are They Still Around? Yes
What Made Them A Fixture of Late '90s Dorm Rooms? As much fun as it is to hate on Phish, at least they clearly have a unified field theory of guitar noodling. ("Say what you like about the tenents of National Socialism...") I can't say I know much about String Cheese Incident, but in the video above they don't really seem to be trying. And their name is the reason I'm not entirely sorry Republicans are sometimes in power.


5. Jackopierce
What Part Of Colorado Are They From? Dallas, Texas. All right so maybe all of these bands weren't from Colorado.
Are They Still Around? Apparently
What Made Them A Fixture of Late '90s Dorm Rooms? Can't type. Just watched the above video. Being sick.


4. Freddy Jones Band
What Part Of Colorado Are They From? Chicago
Are They Still Around? Does it matter?
What Made Them A Fixture of Late '90s Dorm Rooms? For some reason white people were then making a serious comeback in popular culture.


3. G Love and Special Sauce
What Part Of Colorado Are They From? Philadelphia
Are They Still Around? Yes
What Made Them A Fixture of Late '90s Dorm Rooms? Kids who grew up on their parents' British invasion albums were now so far removed from the blues that they literally had no idea what it was.

A giant (as in literally, fat as hell) pothead i knew in college used to listen to that goddamn "Cold Beverages" song over and over and every time he did i thought about pulling out a gun and shooting him in the tits.

Was there a high rate of suicide at this college?

Also, if your band has a "percussionist" in addition to a drummer, please eat my fuck.

Just curious (and perhaps I missed it skimming through this piss poor attempt at a list) what did music did you enjoy when you went to college in Colorado in the late 90's?
