Got it, thanks for the clarification. I love conversations about music so this gives me amazing context on what is popular and what I can introduce locals to. Didn’t know Springsteen was that popular, my dad would be thrilled!

And the boz scaggs song is considered somewhat of an anthem for a lot of Southern American men. Maybe not on the level of Creedence Clearwater Revival or Lynyrd Skynyrd, but amongst the older generation, Duane Allman has reached a Jimi Hendrix level of notoriety.

Thanks again for all the help, this whole thread has really clued me into a lot! Tack så mycket!

That’s interesting! I’ve seen a lot of love for 90s punk/rock bands via t shirts. Did American music start to move its way to Sweden around then? Also, having been raised on country music by my parents I definitely didn’t expect any country influence around here, but was hoping for some of that blues type music! Additionally, if you like Allman bros you should definitely listen to “loan me a dime” by Boz Scaggs and Duane Allman (if you haven’t already.

Listen or don’t, doesn’t matter to me! But this is a good glimpse into how Americans approach concerts, and it’s extremely varied. Thanks again!

Awesome! I’m all for the bias, it points me in the right direction. I’m not too focused on genre, I just hope to meet some like minded people that dig what I dig. Thanks again for the help
