Gran Ronde

Ok, so I do have this whole album, but only because of the first track I heard from the group made me think the whole endeavor might be awesome. I was wrong; I didn't hear anything else on the album that I really liked apart from the track "wisdom". That's just a guitar riff that gets in your head. Seriously, take a listen' it's awesome. That's why it ranks at #4 as my most listened to track of 2009 at 52 times.

On a side note, I was recently in Portland in a Native American hall on a university campus when I noticed the same name "Gran Ronde" on one of the nation flags in the back of the hall. Turns out the band is from the area, and while not named after the nation, they are named after a river in the area of the same name (more here).
