El Picador Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I saw a great show last night and I'm feeling really good right now. I wish I felt this way after every show I see as I do get out quite frequently. So I decided to put together a small list of bands who moved me to feel the way I do today - bands who I want to take all my friends to see next time around - artists who inspire me. Here's my short list of late: The Hold Steady (last night)David Rawlings MachineWeen Old Crow Medicine ShowYo La TengoRushWilco Banyan (w/Nels & Watt)The Wiyos Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dimetapp drinker Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 X &/or KnittersHusker Du (would have to reunite . . . and then hell would have frozen over)Psychedelic Furs - first concert I ever saw (1984), seen them every time they've been out since (most recently 2005). Even playing a small club Richard Butler still looks as if he's playing to a huge crowd and his enthusiasm is a welcome change from the 80s artists who approach their material with either indifference or vague irony.Wilco (natch)Bad Brains Quote Link to post Share on other sites
