Lynyrd Skynyrd and the The Allman Brothers Band (tie)
We had a hard time deciding which of these titans of Southern Rock would be recognized at this spot on the countdown, so in the end we figured that it would do neither a disservice to recognize them together. We could have put one at a lower position on the countdown, but in the end it felt right to give each the honor of the #2 spot.
We first look at Lynard Skynard. Hailing from north Florida, little need be said about their popularity with fratdaddies all throughout the fratmosphere. Seldom has any reputable cover band entered a darkened bar or a fratcastle band room without the iconic “Sweet Home Alabama” and “Freebird” in their repertoire. Find me any sorostitute that doesn’t want to dance to “Gimme Three Steps” or “What’s Your Name”, and I’ll show you a plan C in plan A’s clothing. Many of us have hazy memories of the strains of “Simple Man” and “That Smell” flowing through the air on late Friday nights before the game Saturday, and these are memories that forever cement Lynyrd Skynyrd as a band of reverence and respect.
Before there was a Lynyrd Skynyrd, however, The Allman Brothers Band was laying the groundwork for Southern Rock acts to be recognized on the national music scene. Still today, their influence on fratty music is without question (possibly because some of us were “Tied to the whipping post” when we were pledges). Although they are best known to casual listeners for their monster hit “Ramblin’ Man”, I would personally suggest getting back to your roots by putting on “Mountain Jam” and relaxing with some premium fratwater. Also, we can’t forget the influence that the Allman Brothers have had on other fratty bands. For instance, Duane Allman’s guitar featured extensively on Derek & the Domino’s only studio album, and the popular Gov’t Mule is an Allman Brothers side project (featuring current guitarist Warren Haynes and bassist Allen Woody).
It’s already been said, but it’s worth saying again: both these bands can count numerous other fratty bands as their progeny. It is a rare thing to find any act south of the Mason-Dixon line that doesn’t count these giants as some of their main sources of influence (and that goes for country artists as well as true Southern rockers). For both their own accomplishments and their substantial influence, we’re proud to award them a spot at #2 on the countdown.

great choice. I like the brothers better but both are giants.
indeed
Now the countdown has really taken shape. Dave Matthews, Rollin in the Hay, OCMS…yeah, OK. But Skynyrd (not Skynard), Allman Bros. and WSP…untouchable. There’s a line in the sand that separates these 3 from the others. Great choices.
Looks like Georgia produces the frattiest bands. Skynyrd was so far north, they may as well have been from GA. Although, in fairness, they kept their Florida roots with their distinct swampy sound in many of their songs.
Damn man, you got the double and there’s still ducks coming in.
Bluesy bluegrass pros, collegey-preppy bluegrass, two monsters of classic southern rock… I think you’re gonna whiff on #1 but you made it more of an adventure than I thought it would be.
excellent choices
great choices here doug.
I’ve got an unrelated question for yall: do you get you shorts tailored or just buy short ones? I recently purchased some 8″ inseam vineyard vines shorts and some 9″ inseam ben silver shorts and had them all tailored down to about a 7″ inseam which I think is the perfect length. I’m liking this because it greatly expands my options for buying shorts. Anyone else here do the same?
Is it just Oklahoma or are all the summer rushees complete faggot guidos this year?
it’s just oklahoma. something about the red dirt makes ‘em all kinds of douchie. including you.
This countdown is ridiculous and clearly not given any thought beforehand. it seems as if #5 was legitimately DMB, #4 should have been a generalization of cover bands, #3 represented bluegrass type, this one represents southern rock, and #1 is going to be widespread panic representing jam bands. the way each post has changed though really did no justice to the topic of frattiest bands; the discussions on each one are better than the actual posts. this place would be better off being a non-moderated board (read: doug is completely superfluous and unnecessary).
also as far as the shorts go polo makes the andrew shorts which have a nice pleat and about a 6.5″ inseam or so, i have a few pairs of them in various colors.
For those of you that have a problem with the countdown:
We’ve got two goals for this site. The first one is to be at least mildly entertaining. It’s fun for us to write, and we hope it’s fun for you to read.
But you don’t have to agree with it to have fun reading it…which goes to our second goal, which is fostering discussion of the topic that we’re writing about. Even though I think the feedback has been more positive or not (with the exception of the #4 pick…which, if we had it to do over, we could handle in more of a general-cover-band-genre manner), we’re glad there’s been disagreement with our picks. Without disagreement, there’s no discussion.
As for goal #1, its for you to decide whether you enjoyed reading the picks or not (although we certainly hope you did). As for goal #2, the topic has definitely stirred up discussion, and we consider that a success.
If you’re disagreeing, that means you’ve been reading. That’s all we can ask for.
I think a couple of people on here have been eating way too many power bars.
the allman brothers drink heinikenz. in hoc
This is why countdowns generally are faggy at best. Everyone gets butt-hurt. Doug, this site has gotten insanely popular as you probably know with frat daddies in the south to semi fratters in the midwest to the guido douche bags in the north that happen to be in a “frat.” So, people come to this site as a lesson in fratting. I just visited a midwest campus and apparently this site has gotten the campus to not be as douchie and start to rebuild as a fratty campus.
I have always been under the impression that this site was to spread the art of fratting and destroy douchbaggery. Countdowns don’t help rid the world of douchbaggery, rather it gives the d-bags a voice to litter fh.
I agree with you picks on this countdown but don’t agree with doing countdowns. How about a lesson on why one should not hook up with a gdi or a new term to the dictionary? Countdowns seem lazy. Finally, does Eric ever post anything? Seems like Douglas posts everything…
so… doug is the butch and eric is the bitch? is that what you’re saying, the taxi?
im not not sure whether to laugh or cry at the taxi reference… normally i would think it’s sarcasm but with a name like E-dubs he’s probably a high schooler and may just think the name is the taxi
i do agree with “the taxi” by the way. This site served well when it’s main focus seemed to be to not only enunciate what it is to be fratty, for the already fratty as well as those looking to convert, but also as a forum for frat daddies to share ideas, stories and knowledge gained through their fratty experiences in the incessant battle against douchebaggery.
HAHA. Seriously though, great choices. The Allman Brothers are better than Lynyrd Skynyrd but not necessarily frattier.
Eric and I write 95% of all articles together. Sometimes we’ll do one on our own, but it’s rare. My name is usually on it simply because I’m usually the one who actually logs in and posts what we’ve written.
Now…to the serious business…we want to write what you want to read. To this end, we’re going to do a better job of getting classes posted. The truth is that, during the summer, we don’t like to do a whole lot that takes time away from women, the beach, and fratwater.
But, regardless, stay tuned…after this countdown is over the next several posts will be 099 and 101, with a probable 301 mixed in. Perhaps a 501, too, although we haven’t decided what that is going to be yet.
i just realized this site does exactly what i just said it should be doing and is doing exactly what it intends. Sounds like everything is going well, keep up the good work Doug
The Allman Brothers Band > Lynyrd Skynyrd
you guys should hit the road this school year and travel incogneto as GDIs and go to other fraternity houses all across america and report back to us.
whats the next countdown?
1855,
Eventually we want to buy a LearJet, name it “The Plan A”, and fly from campus to campus distributing FrattingHard.com branded prophylactic devices.
it’s funny, “the taxi.” i’m not even a theta xi, i just met some from a college and couldn’t get over how douchie they were. but the name stuck so whatever.
i mentioned that trip i had earlier this summer to some midwest colleges. i saw some of the fraternities there and they seriously want to pay doug (probably not eric b/c he prob will have doug talk for him) a good amount of money to have doug give a lecture on fratting like during their greek week! seems wierd to me, but if you could make cash doing that douglas, you should.
Thats the gayest thing I’ve ever heard.
Moreover, the “Colleges Fratting Harder” section deserves an update. But I understand the necessity for fratwaters in the sun.
I understand going away from mainstream but really? At least here were finally see some legit bands. However there are way too many that won’t make this list.
Just to name a few that will get skipped over:
Kings of Leon, Black Crowes, Citizen Cope (solo artist, but plays with a band), CCR, Dispatch, Third Eye Blind, Beatles, The Doors, Zeppelin, North Mississippi All-Stars, O.A.R., The Rolling Stones and finally Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
You can drink, smoke, chill and bang to all these bands so I’d say thats enough to make the list.
1. The Band
2. The Allman Brothers
3. Skynyrd
4. Cross Canadian Ragweed
5. Black Crowes
After reading the earlier posts I don’t know that my below par Oklahoma fratting skills will mean anything, but this is what some of us came up with.
The 099 section is pretty entertaining to read, but I think you should make an article pointing out what (not) to do at rush, just to weed out the undesireables.
Examples:
1. Make sure you are looking good. First impressions are huge. Looks arent everything, but if you look like a bum, nobody will want to bid you. Be sure to use plenty of hair gel, and throw on a nice button up shirt. Preferrably black.
2. Be sure to mention a little about what sports you played in high school. Maybe mention a story about how you made the game winning TD in the section playoffs, only to go home and nail a few of the hottest cheerleaders that same night at the party.
3. Remind the guys you are talking to how much money your father makes. Make sure they know that your father owns many dealerships.
Just to see how popular this site has become, I’d love to see how many rushees show up and act like this for fall rush.
For Fratting 101, topics that might merit discussion include:
-Timepieces
-Fun and (somewhat) safe hazing techniques
-Alcohol and building an acceptable tolerance
-Test files
-Majors
-Decorations for a fratty bedroom to draw sorostitutes
Fratting 301:
-Hunting and the pros/cons of water fowl vs turkey vs deer hunting, etc
-GDI stomping
-What to frat tab on for certain occasions
Fratting 501:
-Retirement
-Mid-Life Crisis (if any)
I know answers to these situatons and topics, but I think it would be fun to see Doug and Eric’s take on it.
ok3, your list is good except for Cross Canadian Ragweed.. what were you thinking there? I saw a CCR concert a couple days ago and the singer was wearing cargo capris, flip flops, a graphic and a skull logo’ed beanie to cover his mid back length highlighted hair… NF indeed. But they were good about 3 years ago
Doug,
I have always wondered which fraternity house is the best in the nation. I have seen some good ones at Bama, ole miss, unc, tennessee, auburn, clemson, uga, and believe it or not Penn state.
I think this would be an entertaining debate
Think about it
Sigma Chi house at purdue is the sickest frat castle in the U.S.
Sigma Chi house at purdue is a sick frat castle, but the sig house at Kansas University is almost as fratty, over 15k square feet, 90 fratters, basketball court with surround sound, a full bar in the basement with 5 flat screens accompanied by bose surround sound, several bar style video games, Cory Morrow has played there, and sorostitutes flocking from all over the midwest, its frat
Me and some of my SAE brothers went on a trip to south carolina last year and they have hands down the nicest house I have ever seen.
Check it out:http://www.ltcarch.com/project.cfm?&ID=14&ProjectCategory=EDUCATIONAL&ProjectName=The%20Sigma%20Alpha%20Epsilon%20House
I don’t see them doing something like that. They have never praised any one fraternity or house for that matter. They realize that every fraternity has their fratty chapters and their douchie ones. I like going to my fraternity’s convention and noticing all of the d-bag yanks.
OCMS totally deserves to be on the list btw even though they’re not so much mainstream.
OK3,
I think that might be one of the better lists yet. I’d say you could substitute someone else for Skynyrd since they are pretty much the same as The Allman Brothers, but other than that real good. The Band is definitely number one though. Levon Helm is from the South and they did The Night They Drove Ole’ Dixie Down. Somehow you managed to put all your oklahoma sub par fratting skills together and make a good list.
Old crow came out with a new EP recently P.S. Visit http://www.crowmedicine.com/ for more info.
On another topic, I believe the Pike house at FSU is the largest frat castle in the country. SAE at Auburn, Alabama, and Ole Miss are pretty amazing. Sigma Nu at Auburn and Ole Miss are sick too. Every old row at bama (SAE, KA, Phi Gam, DKE, Sigma Nu, Phi Delt) are amazing as well.
pi kappa alpha is not a real fraternity.
Fuck you, go frat hard at the Sigma Chi house at Purdue, you yankee fag!
Although the Midwest is NF, the Sigma Chi house there blows the fratmosphere off the earth. They just put $7.5 million in renovations into it, and the alumni list is pretty sick, brah. Drew Brees, TFS fo shizzle.
Runkle is an absurd faggot.
Drive By Truckers should be #1.5 and Spread at #1
1848,
Figi is the worst fraternity in the nation, the owl sucks and the painted man that stands at the door during initiation is fag, your ritual is a joke and your frattyness is far below sub-par. Drive by truckers?? Go back to your trailer
uncle runkle is the man
Along the lines of Sir Fratsalot / Kappa Sig Mac/Thetaxi:
I’ve seen this site, through no fault of its own, do harm. First, it’s making a lot of trashy losers think that they can join a fraternity, get a polo, some costas and croakies and a pair of sperry topsiders and voila!- they aren’t trash anymore.
Next off, I don’t think there’s a question that the South is better, even though I’m biased. Nevertheless a lot of losers jumped on a sad, delusional form of sectionalism where they imagine they have cornered fraternity life and fratty and prep style. Every upright human detests gel heads, those lacking breeding, customs and genuinely held values deeply rooted American tradition and heritage. The proportion of said upright human beings is just less in many places outside the South (though everything isn’t fratty here either.) The gospel of frattiness should be preached wherever there are respectable right minded young men and fraternity houses.
It’s the borderline fellows this site helps out the most, people who are from respectable backgrounds but are being tempted into the evil world of the GDI where tradition and values are stomped on. People also might learn from the laid back, respectful (often droll or witty) write-ups and comments by Doug and Eric. Give me second to get on my horse here- people shouldn’t confuse just being in a fraternity with being a true gentleman. And this site allows even fratdaddies to share and expand their frattitude and see how different fratdaddies’ personal approaches to fratting, which is always a good thing.
I think the positives far outweigh the negatives. I smell commercialization (a book and tv series), and if that happens everything could go shitty.
PS-Great future topics list Armyfratstar.
bourbonneatright,
You make a very good point. One of the key attributes of a real frat daddy is the ability to be a gentleman when the situation calls for it. This allows not only for the incorporation of traditional southern values but for the seperation of the fraternity man from the common disrespectful and gelled, meathead. Upper tier sorostitutes have long used this trait to distiguish between those properly raised to be frat daddy’s and the “decoys” who, like the frat daddy’s plastic hunting duck, are pretending to be something they clearly are not.
Can I get a mid-morning tier breakdown of Clemson? I hope it’s still the same as this morning, being Sigma Chi=phratty phratty phrat phrat. Thanks brosausaruses.
sigma chi at clemson is up there, but theyre not alone… its not like theyre at the top and everyone else is looking up at them.
The great thing is that douchebag goes clear to the bone. A douchebag may try to dress fratty, act fratty, talk fratty…but in the end, he will *always* expose himself as the douchebag he is.
sir fratsalot is correct that sorostitutes have a built in GDI-radar that makes them great at separating the wheat from the chaff.
BTW…#1 on the countdown and Rush 099 article both coming tomorrow.
Doug,
I disagree with you nearly 300% with your statement about sorostitutes and the GDI-radar. Anyone that goes to a big football school (preferably SEC) knows that many plan-A’s have fallen to the way-side for a tall, dark, paints-sagging, affliction wearing cornrowed/gel haired douche bag football player or bball player. Have you never heard of a “jersey chaser” or a “mud shark”? They plague many a sorority.
No matter how many touchdowns they score, or classes they magically pass, college athletes in big time programs DO NOT FRAT (except the Mannings). So when a plan-A goes to the dark side there is a little part of the frat world that dies. This is probably why many of us have gone underground. C’mon Doug.
there’s my rant for the day. I do love me some football though.
1855… you go to school at OU as well? I haven’t been up for any rush events this summer, but that comment you made about all the rushees being faggot guidos concerns me. OU frats hard, and there is no room for this Abercrombie shit.
ThetaXi,
Unfortunately, some sorostitutes do lack the ability to distinguish fratty from douchebagish. Our Institute of Fratology is close to isolating the chromosome which leads to a dysfunction of the frat gland of these sorostitutes which prevents the glad from producing the particular strain of fratdrenaline hormone that gives the usual Plan A the innate ability to know that under that polo is a Tasmanian Devil tattoo.
However, we are confident that *most* plan A’s do not have this affliction. In my own observations, I would put the dysfunctional frat glad percentage at somewhere between 5 and 8%. We’re working on a vaccine, but the research has been slightly disrupted by the fact that Eric and I transferred most human clinical trial research funds into the account we use to fly freshly brewed Sweetwater Georgia Brown straight to the institute.
No, no, no. These ladies are taking one for the team- literally and figuratively. Hopefully these sacrifices will lead to gridiron, hardwood and diamond glory. The ladies are hoping I assume that they have a chance to hit jackpot, like many sorostitutes, even if the odds are working against them.
I would like to believe that besides fitness some sort of fratlike lessons are being learned on the practice field. I also take comfort in the fact that some of the said athletes are in fraternities- often those that formed under parallel but unfratty lines (lots of hazing yes, but little correct deportment, style, etc. I’m guess they serve a purpose. There are mainstream counterparts who I could say the same about.)
At any rate I can’t get excited because of who a girl decides to take up with. The thinking sorostitute will see that those who are true fratdaddies are a better selection now and for the future. Like Doug I feel that percentages work for the fratdaddy.
A final note; while scholarship should be central to fraternity life I know of class selection advice, supportive professors and administrators who understand fratting’s demands, hand me down papers and other methods that may not leave all fraternity chapters in the position to be judgmental.
notaproblem,
maybe it’s because it’s too early in the morning, and i am very hungover, but i have no clue what you are talking about. Are you saying that getting an education is the main reason to join a frat? Or insinuating that athletes are fratty and the sorostitutes that take that route are classy?
Holy hell. Do I see that Carl has returned?
You guys are all homo-erotic.
Seriously:
“I’ve got an unrelated question for yall: do you get you shorts tailored or just buy short ones?

Roidhead,
you are a true badass..
I give a strong nod to all the bands posted, but please Journey and Boston…I have stoped believing forever. But my list would go something like this in no particular order.
Allman Brothers
DMB
O.A.R.
Carbon Leaf
ALO
North Mississippi Allstars
Oatis Day and the Knights —common how could this not be on the countdown
Robert Randolph and The Family Band
Toots and the Maytals —- When Jimmy gets old, there is no band that frats harder in mexico.
Umphrey’s McGee
Yonder Mountain String Band
you do realize “otis day and the knights” was just made up for the movie and that “shout” is actually by the isley brothers right?
what’s fratty about six black dudes performing a cover song? idk, maybe that’s what fratdaddies listened to back in the 50’s and 60’s…
you homos still talking fashion? Why don’t you come up North and learn how to drink Gin and blow lines with the real Kennedys. Your Southern pride doesn’t run too deep b/c y’all are trying to be like us up here in the Cape.
Jimmmy
1. Fraternities and Education- Getting an education should be important and fraternities have their ways to facilitate that. That includes working around some of the more annoying aspects of academic life when you’re in a pinch.
2. College athletics- Athletics are fratty and I assume the vast majority of fratdaddies were athletes at some point. Hazing, team work, non-homo male friendship, the desire to be the best, etc. are fratty. Big time college athletics are more specialized and time consuming thus not fratty. If average GDI students are about as useful as flies a guy throwing a football is accomplishing something of slightly more value.
3. Any sorostitutes not lining up for a true fratdaddy are obviously deluded. I’m just saying I can’t get excited about what a girl does, even if I disagree. There are too many, as a fratdaddy I am too secure; moreover it isn’t way out of hand.
Hope that clears it up.
ASDF and Theta Chi
It was part of the era- perhaps because of mores that blacks were expected to be entertainers, and blacks do play part of our Southern musical heritage I’ll happily admit. I’m a Southerner and I am all for listening to black people make music; it’s part of the South. (And so is poor people’s music.) IMO the quality of current black musicians in the South however has declined to unspeakable depths (I suspect Yankee influence lol), thus they are not on the fratty countdown. (No PC police, that isn’t racist, just a valid observation.)
You call this non-homo male friendship?:

RoidHead,
you are by far the biggest yankee douche i’ve ever seen on this site… and that is saying something. Please give a pistol a blowjob
Thanks
Keep talking fashion. You suck Kennedy dick. Your whole style is Yankee blue blood, bitch. You really contradict yourselves. I bet you got one of those Michael Waltrip Southern fag accents too.
Please, Mr. Crackcorn. Don’t feed the troll.
Nota, i agree with your assesment of the black music these days. It is so bad especially compared to the standards of the old time r&b and blues artists.
i agree with that as well, it is unfortunate that their idea of music has fallen from otis redding and the temptations all the way to kanye west
http://www.thesouthernflop.com
So, how does everyone feel about The Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd?
As far as athletes at major universities not being fratty, I tend to disagree. Not everyone is fratty but look at John Parker Wilson, Alabama’s QB. his dad was QB at Alabama too, he seems pretty fratty to me. A couple guys on various teams throughout the south are, I know a couple at Clemson are.
I like Carbon Leaf, but no, they don’t belong at the top.
Beach music (from 50s and 60s North and South Carolina) should be pretty high up there, as well as Motown.
I agree though that black music has gotten pretty bad, and unfortunately sororstitutes love T-pain and all the rest of that crap, so we have to put up with it at parties.
john parker wilson = teh ghey, oh and the allman brothers are great, but yea motown from back in the day is so much better than that crap t-pain calls music
i’m wasted, who the fuck is number one, doug?
Beach music is definately fratty, and an inability to shag makes you incredibly less appealing to sorostitutes. Shagging will get you more than you can shake a stick at.
Hey guys, I’m really sorry about the new articles not being up like I said they were going to be. We had some software issues, but I’m still very sorry about saying they were going to be up, and then it not happening.
We’re trying to get stuff fixed, but it’s hard when you don’t have any computer nerds on staff.
I completely agree about shagging, especially in south carolina, its the state dance. dont be caught at a party at any school in SC without being able to shag… even if youre from out state… learn it.
This countdown is….disappointing. Skynyrd/Allman are the only ones that really belong. There are so many dope smoking Birkenstock wearing GDI’s that love DMB, it’s hard to justify this countdown without first pulling the pledge paddle out of Neidermeyer’s ass.
geez when is number one gonna be up
in hoc
NCSU, which fraternity are you in?
Delta Sigma Phi
Grats on Caldwell
GeorgiaFratter,
GDIs wear sunglasses, so you should stop wearing sunglasses because if GDIs like something, it’s automatically NF.
EX had some sort of national convention in Columbia, Mo this weekend. I couldn’t wait for them to leave- they creeped on every girl and would not take their sunglasses off at the bar. Hey EX, we know you didn’t just get off the links at 11pm.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…Delta Sig.
KingFrat,
you must have seen our northern adopted step brothers. I assure you, the Southern Sigs were not douchebags and proudly acted as true Fraternity Men.
i don’t know how many times we’ve been over this but, anyone here thats ever been to a national or regional convention for their frat knows there’s gonnna be a few douches at any of those things. every frat’s got bad chapters that make the rest look bad.
We have a shitty national reputation, but shit is weird at State. It’s legit here, but I am ashamed to refer to most other chapters as brothers.
I love all these picks so far (except maybe Rollin’ in the Hay, only cause Ive never heard of them) I’ve read throgh most of these posts though and am surprised people have not listed AC/DC as a band. Boozing to that music is probably as good as it gets.
Not sure where this thread went, but back to the music… this list took to long to get to the big guys (Skynyrd, Allman). Creedence needs to be on here but probably won’t, as do The Doors. Could also make a strong case for Stones, Neil Young, Zeppelin. But CCR / Doors not being on here is a major oversite.
If WSP is #1, that’s ridiculous… way too hippie-ish for #1. And DMB? DMB is main-stream chick music that is mildly catchy. But we’re talking about fratty songs that you’d listen to just cause the music’s good, not because girls like to hear Dave sing “Crash.”
Top 5 should be:
1)CCR
2)Allman / Skynyrd
3)Doors
4)Zeppeln
5)Stones
Classic like everything else that is good… a cold beer on a sunny day with “Sympathy for the Devil” and CCR covering “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” is a damn fine time
‘Spread is too “hippie-ish” but you’re calling for Neil Young and The Doors? Neil Young was basically the Anti-Skynyrd and Jim Morrison was the Lizard King. The Lizard King? Really? There’s nothing wrong with either one really, but they aren’t Fratty.
Somebody earlier mentioned how all of these bands in the countdown don’t necessarily represent the band themselves, but instead a genre of music. CCR fits in with “southern rock” such as The Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd, but in my opinion is not up to their caliber. The countdown, other than Dave, is just choosing the best band to represent each genre.
I’m not going to bad mouth Zeppelin or the Stones, because lets face it, it’s Led Zeppelin and the fucking Rolling Stones. Without either one, a lot of the music we love today wouldn’t be possible, but they just aren’t fratty.
I am going to go ahead and agree with the list even though I still don’t agree with those fucking guido Maui Jim sunglasses. Sorry Doug.
Fratty Mcfratterson, the Sigma Pi house at Penn state is supposedly the best frat castle in the nation
I cant believe Fall Out Boy isn’t going to make the list!!!!!1
Least Fratty Bands:
1. Insane Clown Posse
2. AFI
3. Any Swedish Death Metal
4. Fall Out Boy
5. Indigo Girls
We need to have a top ten Frat Castle countdown next.
has there ever been a thread with 100 posts?
Frat Castle? Are you fucking serious?
I think we should have a top 5 TFM’s countdown
Please tell me I’m at the century mark!
dalmatians
Go Big,
I’m not saying the Doors are fratty as people, but the point of these countdowns seems to be to list stuff that fratty people like. Like Entourage being the #2 show… the characters on the show are about as un-fratty as you can get, but it’s #2 because it’s popular with fratty people. Same for the Doors… I’m not knocking #4 or #3 bands, but it seems to me that you’d find Jim Morrison on a lot more frat iPods than you’d find the groups at #4 or #3.
what the fuck is a frat iPod
*a fratpod
iPods in themselves arent very fratty though
what kind of faggot goes around saying fratpod or frat ipod you just sounds fucking retarted
*sound
You do know that Allen Woody has been dead for years, right? Try and know something about music before writing articles on it. Thanks!
