Asheville tends to get more bands that you don't hear much if ever on the radio.

I think the Talking Heads most popular song is Once In A Lifetime. Most people probably heard this one. 'And She Was' gets some play on classic rock stations.

Asheville gets the bands that do the festival circuit. Greenville gets the people that only do arena shows.

Willie Nelson is playing at Peace Center on March 5th, his only concert in the Carolinas on this tour.

I just opened the link. I haven't heard that song. Maybe I've heard something else of theirs. I don't know.

I have heard of these.

I have no clue how one could possibly listen to any rock station in the last 15 years and not hear Burning Down the House.

I haven't, but I've heard all of the mainstream stuff. If I was into rock like that, maybe so. I've heard of all of those playing at BSA mentioned by North, and I'm not into those genres either. I have an example. I bet you probably have never heard of SWV, but I guarantee you've heard of Janet Jackson. One of those is mainstream and popular enough that you've heard of even if you don't listen to that genre. SWV on the other hand, you probably have to be into R&B.

Janet Jackson is another big name who has done a concert in Greenville. Usher opened for her.

She performed in Columbia last December.
