I caught these guys live. Good shows.

 

[caudio51]

I've been lucky to catch 4

 

[JRL]

I have tickets to The White Strips show coming up. Yea glad there good live.

Dave Matthews is #18 and there's a half dozen bands above them I've never heard of, hmmmmm. Good to see my favorite of all time is #5! U2!

 

[Electric Sheep]

I've seen 4: Pearl Jam, U2, Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers....all while in college, and oddly enough all in 1992, apparently a big concert year for me.

Of course, I'm not a particularly big fan of any of those bands on the list except for maybe RAGE and the RHCP.

 

[tobby4]

I think coldplay was just as good as U2.. Obviously everybody has differing opinions on this but still

 

[Mindflux]

I guess it's not an all time list.. since most of those bands are relatively 'new'.

Where's Phish or The Grateful Dead ?

I wonder where they would have ranked 5 years ago???

i'm shocked though, but maybe I'm a little biased :dunno:

In that case they need to fix it anyway. A few of those bands I don't even think I could classify as music.

 

[tobby4]

I think U2 put on a better show then Dave.. but some of the others I dont know about..

Oh that explains why Lawrence Welk is not in there.

 

[TexaSmoke]

I don't attend concerts, too many damn people.

Where's Phish or The Grateful Dead ?

They only polled audiences who could remember that they were there.

 

[Clinton]

Where's Rush?

 

[Eric]

How does RATM make the list when they're still not officially back together?

Modest Mouse and A Perfect Circle should be in the list! And one that REALLY surpised me is Lenny Kravitz.
