Well I can nominate two bands that bring BOC to mind for me but I am about
the only person I know who thinks so.  Saigon Kick comes closest.  Do they
sound anything like BOC, Hell no at least their music dosen't but the
lyrics, thats where they get you.  Check out some of their lyrics and you
may see it too.  Peppermint Tribe and God of 42nd Street are pretty good
examples.  The other group I can think of is the notorious, no one but me
seems to like, Stone Temple Pilots.  Songs from Core and the song Unglued
remind me of real early BOC.  Its hard to explain but when I listen to
certain songs and close my eyes all I can see is Eyes, and Buck and Alan....
