boston.com lists the top 25 Greatest Boston Bands/Acts...

(h/t to the Newbury Comics facebook page that linked it)

For the most part I agree at least with who's on it, but not necessarily in the 'critic's picks' order...I figured Aerosmith would have been in the top spot, no question. It's kind of a prerequisite for any Bay State music fan to own Toys In the Attic. Surprisingly there aren't any musicians I wouldn't have had on that list...but I definitely would have added a few other bands like Tribe, Think Tree, Buffalo Tom, The Cavedogs, Human Sexual Response, and Heretix.

Any others??

The Dresden Dolls...man, what a group. So far outside anything else I would ever listen to, but I do enjoy them.

And J. Geils is just great. A regret I have is never seeing them live...but it wasn't possible because I got really into them after they broke up.

I think I saw Tribe and Heretix when I was at Tufts.

Godsmack is a Boston band, but maybe too hard for that list.
