Exact same sentiments for me.
I've been attending ACL Fest since 2012. And the absolutely best part is discovering new bands. I'm rarely intrigued by the headliners.
Example. Goldfish. Band from Capetown, South Africa I experienced on Sunday afternoon. The duo are both jazz musicians, who studied music in college. They decided to create an electronic dance band -- while incorporating their love for jazz. The result ... not only the expected Mac, i-Pad, keyboards ... but they incorporate the sax, flute, and bass (string) into their tunes. Genius! And so much fun!
Goldfish won the MTV South Africa award for best pop band.

I saw First Aid Kit at ACL on Sunday. Amazing harmonies from these Swedish sisters.
Interestingly, when they were kids, one of their first major influences was Bright Eyes. And a couple years ago, they performed a tune with Conor Oberst.

1978's Van Halen debut album was the first cassette tape I bought. Good times.

The Beatles and the British invasion brought an end to Doo Wop in 1964/65. But we have archives. Doo Wop is 100% American. Just like Jazz and the blues.
Sonny Til and the Orioles from Baltimore are credited with starting Doo Wop in 1948 with the song "Its too soon to know." Many young people heard something new and different in that song. They became motivated to duplicate that sound/style, started forming street corner singing groups and somehow Doo Wop took off and became popular.
Doo Wop features lots of voice harmonies. The Dells took the street corner Doo Wop style to its limits with "Stay in My Corner."
