Don't take my word for it...

Listen to what this guy has to say:

Ask me to name the greatest rock & roll song of all time and I have to say it's a three-way tie between Slobberbone's "Gimme Back My Dog," Count Five's "Psychotic Reaction," and Elvis Costello's "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding."

That from Stephen King's new Entertainment Weekly column.

I've never heard "Psychotic Reaction," but I think Elvis Costello is pretty good company. And while some may argue that King should've hung it up after The Stand, I will continue to extol the virtues of Denton, Texas' own Slobberbone to any and all who care to listen. I've seen them live about three dozen times and will continue to do so as long as they keep touring (currently 250-300 dates a year). They are, quite simply, one of the best bands - rock or otherwise - that I've ever heard.
