   you are dead to me, Jason. I hope your soul finds it solace in Music Lover’s Hell.

   My list:
   George Clinton and the Parlaiment Funkadelic
   They Might Be Giants
   The Fucking Champs
   Smashing Pumpkins
   MC Paul Barman

   Wow. That’s a unique list. Wouldn’t have pegged you for Garth Brooks.

   I don’t know if mine make a unique combination, so I’ll just list them all:
   Pink Floyd
   The Chieftains (twice)
   Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers (twice)
   Chet Atkins
   Big Head Todd & The Monsters (twice)
   Willie Nelson
   The Tannahill Weavers
   Jennifer Nettles Band
   Sting with Natalie Merchant opening
   got to the Prince Charles in Fayetteville just as Great White was finishing a free show for the GI’s

   Isn’t it Kool with a K? You must not be such a big fan after all.
   My strangest ones are the Moody Blues, Huey Lewis and the News (no making fun of me or I will unleash my fury), and Nine Inch Nails. Concerts that I’ve loved the most are Pearl Jam, Matchbox Twenty (seen them twice and they rocked both times), Counting Crows, and…of course…the Boss himself. Obviously. Strangely, though I don’t own either of his albums, I’ve seen John Mayer in concert 3 times!! Weird. And good opening bands that actually stole the show from the headliners were the Wallflowers (opening for the Crows) and Live (double show with the Crows). Maybe even Johnny Lang. He didn’t STEAL it from Sting, but he rocked.

   Um, how about The Cure, Meatloaf, Cracker, Duran Duran (twice), Wierd Al Yankovic/Dr. Demento,
   Chicago, and Taylor Dane (with the new Mickey Mouse Club opening for her)?

   wtf is winger?
6. Jen Woo April 5, 2004

   I saw NKOTB (twice, but only because a friend’s mom wouldn’t let her go without me…HONEST!)
   and immediately followed those up with the Cure…damn, Robert Smith’s dark broodiness
   was H-O-T back in the day…

   Ooooh, you really are a youngster. Winger = cheesy 80′s hair metal. Big song = “17.” Or “she’s only s17″? Think: Poison but lamer.
8. jean April 6, 2004

   here’s a few that come to mind. and for the record, i don’t think these make me unique – they just highlight my horrific and completely influenced by the time, musical tastes:
   queen
   reo speedwagon
   genesis (w/phil collins)
   the doobie brothers
   rem
   barry manilow – yes, that’s right
   the indigo girls
   lyle lovett
   the trachtenburg family slideshow players
   u2
   sweet honey in the rock (2x)
   paul mccartney
   vic chesnutt
   billy joel
   billy bragg
   poi dog pondering (5x)
   aztec camera
   jimmy buffett
   marcia ball

   sorry jason – no surprise that there’s no heavy metal listed.

   I do see much live music. Also … does classical music count? If so:

   Beck
   Palcido Domingo
   L.A. Philharmonic
   The Negro Problem
   The Red Elvises
   Soundgarden (with opening act Rocket from the Crypt)
   Spearhead (with Michael Franti)
   Take 6
   Tears for Fears
   U2 (2x)

    BARRY MANILOW holy shit. ok: i went to both lilith fair and the warped tour, and i think it was both in one summer. i have also seen mr. bungle w/the dillinger escape plan (in the interest of full disclosure i didn’t actually enjoy that one), james galway (the rock star of flute players), the cure, roger daltrey, they might be giants a million times, tori amos, and arlo guthrie.

    jason, you have no idea how pleased i am by “website trumps email”.
