The Great Debate with The Boys From Bergen

In somewhat of an unconventional "studio" setting - namely a gutted former restaurant under renovation and equipped with only a table, a few folding chairs, a cooler of beer and an extension cord - 6 fellow music lovers travelled from across the Eastern Seaboard to Downtown Huntington to discuss and debate a subject that has been the hot topic among the group for over 6 years.  "What are the Top-5 greatest American rock-&-roll bands of all time."  Key word - American.No Stones.  No Beatles.  No U2.  No Led Zeppelin (#sorrymeyers).  The criteria as to what makes a band authentically American was that every band member, without exception, must have been born in the United States.  No Metallica (#sorryhanna).After the rules of engagement were spelled out, the conversation that ensued over the next 50+ minutes was as spirited and riveting as any I've hosted in any prior episode.  Enjoy the energy that flowed amongst my co-host, Rob "Monkey Man" Diestel, and his "Boys from Bergen" - Nick Halaby, Lewis Meyers, and Matt Hanna.  Special cameo appearance at the end by our sound engineer, none other than founding member and frontman of Huntington's own Bogmen, Billy Campion.  Thanks again for herding us cats and taking such good care of us, Billy!So join us, and let's see where the energy takes us!Midnight Flyer / Eagleshttps://music.apple.com/us/album/midnight-flyer/635765828?i=635765933The Boys of Summer / Don Henleyhttps://music.apple.com/us/album/the-boys-of-summer-remastered-2024/1761230483?i=1761230752Everyday People / Sly & the Family Stonehttps://music.apple.com/us/album/everyday-people/193125445?i=193126391Truckin' / Grateful Deadhttps://music.apple.com/us/album/truckin-live/307793560?i=307793566Kokomo / Beach Boys https://music.apple.com/us/album/kokomo/1617206809?i=1617208420Don’t Believe the Hype / Public Enemy https://music.apple.com/us/album/dont-believe-the-hype/1440837788?i=1440837952Crosseyed & Painless / Phishhttps://music.apple.com/us/album/crosseyed-and-painless/396463671?i=396463832The Weight / Aretha https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-weight/934618187?i=934618225Free Bird / Lynyrd Skynyrd https://music.apple.com/us/album/free-bird-live-at-the-fox-theater-1976/1413948379?i=1413948706 https://www.facebook.com/groups/1983015048745357
