    This list (especially the first 7) is really more 'for all time'...but 'right now' wouldn't be far off it - I don't change my favorites lightly or on the basis of 1 or 2 albums. In fact, at this point it would be nearly impossible for a new band to break my top 5.

    1. Pearl Jam (plus 3 perfect albums)
    2. Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band (plus 4 perfect albums)
    3. Alice In Chains (plus 1 perfect album)
    4. Avenged Sevenfold (plus 1 perfect album)
    5. The Tragically Hip
    6. Bon Jovi
    7. Jeff Buckley
    8. Shinedown
    9. Phish
    10. My Morning Jacket

    You would have loved the show i saw last Friday!
    Drivin N Cryin
    Jason Isbell
    Futurebirds (great athens band if you are not familar with them. Not nearly as good on their albums as they are live)
    Johnny Cordog

    Saw them at the Buckhead theatre here in atlatna it was awesome. Jason came out and played three songs with Driven n Cryin and it was very cool

    I knew about that show. That would have been an all-timer for me. Did you like Corndawg? He's a friend of mine.
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    You are the first person I have seen on this board who appreciates the unmitigated awesomeness of A7X as much as I do. Such a rarity to have that much talent concentrated in one band. Those guys can do it all and do it all well- even across multiple genres of music. Plus, Synyster Gates rules the 'verse. :P

    I was familar with his stuff from his brief work w/ Deer Tick and on the Middle Brother album.

    First time seeing him live. He was cool. Very fun to see live!
