Stockbridge, Georgia, United States (1992 – present)
Collective Soul is a rock band which formed in Stockbridge, Georgia, United States in 1992. The band currently consists of Ed Roland (vocals, guitar), Dean Roland of Magnets & Ghosts (guitar), Joel Kosche (lead guitar), Will Turpin (bass) and Cheney Brannon (durms). The band has released eight albums: Hints Allegations And Things Left Unsaid (1993), Collective Soul (1995), Disciplined Breakdown (1997), Dosage (1999), Blender (2000), Youth (2004), Afterwords (2007), and Collective Soul (Rabbit) (2009).
They are best known for their three Top 40 singles in the United States: “Shine”, “December”, and “The World I Know”. They were the most succesful artist on American rock radio during the 1990’s, with seven number ones on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart during that decade.
Before forming Collective Soul, Ed Roland had studied music composition and guitar playing at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. Since the mid 1980’s, Roland had been involved in underground music; either making unpublished demos or performing. He also worked at Real 2 Reel Studios in Stockbridge during the 1980’s and early 1990’s, which was owned by Will Turpin’s father. Roland’s main duties were producing, mixing and engineering work for local Atlanta artists. He also recorded his own demos and released his independent solo album Ed-E Roland in 1991. He had a pre-Collective Soul band in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s called Marching Two-Step which included Shane Evans, Michele Rhea Caplinger, and Matt Serletic.

Happy to have them join my Top 15! Fantastic band who has continued to stand the test of time. Stuff on the S/T, Disciplined Breakdown, Dosage and Blender is my favorite but the last 3 records have their share of fabulous tunes too. I think overall Youth is really good!

Blender, the worst? No way, I'd probably put it in the Top 3 or 4... Anything with Childress is really good. His parts were wicked, that album is no exception.
