According to rule #3, the answer is "Yes".  LOL

So, this poll is not as difficult as it sounds.  The thing I'm having a hard time with is keeping my posts down to less than three because there are so many bands out there that would fit into this poll quite easily.  I got my choices down to four, anyway, and I can't decide which one to cut out, so I'll post the four of them and you can pick which ones you want to listen to, but I'll tell you now that they are all very powerful tracks worth listening to.  Sorry that I couldn't keep it down to three, but there were more that I could have easily posted, and I'll just hope that someone else will do that.

As always, comments are welcome.  I will try to do the same, but I can't promise anything at the moment.

I'll start out with one that should be obvious.  This is the song that convinced me in the first place that I should listen to more music from these brothers.  That chorus is so powerful.

The Avett Brothers - "And It Spread"



______________________________

Next is a family band that is quite well known in Canada (as they come from Nova Scotia), but not so well anywhere else unfortunately.  I don't think they are together as a band anymore, but these siblings were quite talented, and you can hear that in this song, which was written by Bruce Cockburn.  The vocals are by one of the sisters, and man, she puts some powerful emotion behind her voice here.

The Rankins - "One Day I Walk"



_____________________________

It wouldn't be possible to have this poll without the next duo consisting of Jack and Meg White, former husband and wife team.  This track is a hard blues track that shows off the talents of both of them, but especially Jack's amazing guitar skills (just listen to those killer solos on this one).  I don't know why they get dissed so much, but hopefully this one will impress the doubters that haven't given them a real chance.  This one should be a classic.

The White Stripes - "Ball and Biscuit"



_____________________________

And finally, one that might not be known so well here.  This band was formed in 1980 by identical twin brothers Jay and Michael Aston.  In 1997, they split up because of a rift between them.  This powerful and surprisingly emotional song comes from 1990 from the album of the same name.

Gene Loves Jezebel - "Kiss of Life"

Oh no, that was certainly not the intent of my message. I actually have some candidates and a couple of them are couples. I'm just not sure if they're married...


I can accept common law marriages. 😌

Oh... Do we have to present a marriage certificate or is it enough that we suspect them to f**k each other?

Interesting entry for a poll, though. I'm not that keen and busy with studying (family) relations between band members - I'm generally not that interested in the private life of artists/band members - but I'm sure to find something after getting into some genealogical trees... Wink

First up from me. Married couple Susan Tedeschi (vocals and guitar) and Derek Trucks (guitar) lead the 12-piece Tedeschi Trucks Band. Both have had long solo careers leading their respective bands as well as Derek playing in the Allman Brothers Band, but decided to merge their bands to record and tour together, while raising their two children. Very solid blues rock with shades of Southern rock and Memphis soul. A Grammy-winning act, they are not unknown, but probably not in the wheelhouse of prog listener. This is a live rendition of a song from their third studio album, Let Me Get By, a great listen for a Sunday morning.

Tedeschi Trucks Band – I Want More

Second is a little-known band 90’s band from Pennsylvania. A trio consisting of siblings Beth Sorrentino (vocals, keyboards), Jay Sorrentino (bass), and high school friend Ken Heitmueller (drums).  Their first indie released album was well regarded and got them major label deal. They released their second on Warner Bros. and then got dropped before the release of their third album which was released digitally over ten years later. This is from the second album.

Suddenly, Tammy! – Get Off the Ground

Finally, we have one of the ‘pioneers’ of grunge. Brothers Van Connor (bass guitar) and Gus Lee Connor (guitar) formed the Screaming Trees with vocalist Mark Lanegan and drummer Mark Pickerel. In my opinion, their sound wasn’t quite grunge as they incorporated psychedelic and folk into their music. They lasted through seven studio albums and this is from their final (and IMO best) album, Dust. (Edit to add: There was an eighth studio album that was unreleased until 12 years after their breakup. I haven't heard it.)

The Screaming Trees – Halo of Ashes

Interactive Poll: It’s a Family Affair

We’re coming upon the holiday season and that typically that means family gatherings. Here, in the U.S., we have Thanksgiving happening in a week and a half. A time to overindulge in food, watch (American) football, and gather with relatives you may not want to see but do because you are thankful for them.

I haven’t done that in recent years as most of my relatives are a few thousand miles away, so I have either gathered with friends or spent time with my son. But, in the spirit of the holidays, this edition of the interactive poll is for collaborations of family members making music.

In rock music, examples include the Kinks and the Davies brothers, Oasis and the Gallagher brothers, the Breeders and Deal sisters. Some are harmonious. Others, like in real life, end in squabbles. But some darn good music gets made in the process.

So, the rules:

1. Think of up to three suggestions to share with your forum-mates for consideration.

2. No artists on P.A.

3. For this  poll, the performance/recording must include family members (e.g., siblings, parent and child, married couples, cousins, and so on). Yes, I do realize that some friends are more family than your actual family, but not for this poll.

4. Make your final nomination by Monday Nov. 22.

5. Voting starts after all nominees are placed in the poll.

6. Vote for up to three of your favorites except for your own.

7. Have fun!

[Playlist to come.]
