Where to start with Widespread Panic? - grooveless touque - 09-21-2004

I did a search and no threads specifically about this band came up, just mentions, so I hope this hasn't been done before.

I have heard a lot of good things about Widespread Panic, and when I recently heard they were into Southern rock, I figured why not give them a shot. So where's a good place to start with them? I have never heard a single song, and I'm looking to start with their most commercial music, IE whatever's closest to their roots...obviously you have to appreciate a band on a basic level to appreciate their most experimental or abstract stuff.

Does anybody have a favourite song they'd be willing to send me on MSN or an album to recommend?

I'm not too much into Panic, but if you can get a copy ofthe Bonnaroo 2003 DVD the song they on that is great. Actually that whole DVD is amazing, highly recommend it. Try downloading some stuff off of WINmx to test it out. There is one cd to stay away from to start, i think it is called Bombs and butterflies

Since the early '90s, WP has been embattled with TTH for the top spot on my List of Favorite Active Bands. I think they are incredible, and recommend starting with the albums "Space Wrangler" and "Everyday".

If you don't like these two, then you don't like Panic! :thumb:
