Beside a mixture of the already mentioned I´d like to add

Led Zeppelin
Grateful Dead
Sly & Robbie

What about AC/DC, there are plenty here who like them, I've seen a few OTs about them (I don't think I even know a song by them though)

Oh ,oh,leteyer got it and I´ve misread it.
Therefore I take ........U2.

Take most of Gazza's list and add
Twilight Singers
James Brown
Willy de Ville
Nick Cave
Primal Scream
Lou Reed
T Rex
Jane's Addiction
Supergrass
Doves
Lucio Battisti
Spiritualized
Mott The Hoople
MC5
Soundtrack Of Our Lives
Genesis (with Gabriel only!)
Arcade Fire
Mina (70's output)
Roxy Music
Psychedelic Furs
Mission Of Burma
Humble Pie

I already mentioned Lou Reed, Palace.



I like Arcade Fire too. Best new band to have emerged in this entire decade.

AC/DC (seen live - yes)
Alice Cooper (yes)
Dylan (yes)
The Band (no)
Tom Waits (yes)
Neil Young (yes)
Kiss (yes)
Aerosmith (yes)
Kate Bush (no)
Springsteen (yes - finally!)
Gram Parsons/Burritos (nope)
Led Zep (double nope - tho I saw Page/Plant - thought they were crap)
Nick Drake (em nope)
Genesis (early) (no - tho I met original drummer John Mayhew before he died)
The Who (yep - with Entwistle, but no moonie)
Beatles (c'mon!)
Rush (yes)
ZZ Top (no - and will regret not catching their dates in England)
Van Morrison (yes - with Dylan)
Neil Diamond (yes)
Motorhead (yes - first band I ever saw)
Jethro Tull (yes)

Quite eclectic, but its basically Rock, a bit of old school Heavy Metal, Singer/songwriter plus touches of Americana and Prog.

No pop/rap etc

Bob Dylan
Bruce Springsteen
Led Zeppelin

Van Gogh is a favorite of mine.

Most of mine have been replicated already on several occasions (I'm 45!) but I'd have to say the person who has blown me away most recently is Joe Bonamassa.

Gazza aka V.O.R.

Concerning Lou Reed, which concerts did you attend? In other words, where and when?

LO

Both in Belfast.

Opening for U2, Kings Hall June 1987. (Tickets were sold out before Lou was added to the bill, but I was far more thrilled at getting to see Reed than I was at seeing u2 for the first time - good though they were. To show my delight, I went to the gig wearing a Reed t-shirt (the front cover of 'The Bells' to be exact)

Ulster Hall, Belfast September 2000 ('Ecstasy' tour). Met him before the show. He was surprisingly pleasant and autographed my copy of 'New York'.

Awesome. here is one of my favorites from Legendary Hearts A song about Drinking and Driving after immediately leaving a bad love relationship, which is not approved by the L.O. However, it's happened to many IOORians including one's self. This is great.

All the above are indeed great.

As a current band, I think Wilco is a band that is playing some great music. Their latest album may not there best but their live show is still hard to beat.
