Bill Nelson (ie the Be Bop deluxe guy)

 

holy shit

 

nelson solo?

 

i saw be bop deluxe circa life in the air age and they were phenomenal ... probably top-10 live band for me

 

nelson played some of the most beautiful guitar solos i've ever heard ... incredible technique but had such a rare gift for melody as well

 

and a hell of a song writer

 

god bless be bop deluxe

I really haven't seen nearly enough of my favorite bands live. I'm sure my list would be different if I had.

Drive-By Truckers

Wilco

The Wonder Stuff

Mr. Bungle

Tom Waits

 

 

Punk/Hardcore Category:

 

Rollins Band

Inquisition

Gorilla Biscuits

The Descendents

Green Day (Kerplunk! era)

 

I think I need to add a Hip Hop category too:

 

KRS-One

Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh

Beastie Boys

The Roots

Arrested Development

 

 

 

 

I know, I'm cheating. It's impossible for me to choose five from different genres, as they all invoked completely different reactions in me.

This is pretty difficult but:

Pearl Jam

Arcade Fire

My Morning Jacket

Wilco

The Mars Volta

 

Those are probably my favorite live bands that i don't miss when they come to town. I'm seeing TV on the Radio this summer for the first time and i'm excited to see them :D
