    PJ/ Ed
    Radiohead
    Beck
    Paul McCartney
    Neil Young (75% of the time...)
    STP is awesome (didn't see them this time around, so I can't vouch today)
    NIN, Black Keys


    F--- U2...They are the epitome of Corporate Rock! see also: Madonna, Elton John, and
    Bruce Springsteen- YEAH! "MR. Working Mans Man"- Tickets $165+ can you spell douche!??? Don't defend him just because Eddie Likes him!

    Obviously you've never seen either live or you wouldn't put them in the same category as Madonna & Elton John - I'll write if off to inexperience! I paid less than $100 for my last Bruce show - in the pit - and he played for almost 3 hours so I think I got my money's worth!

    You're an idiot.

    And R.E.M. is a great live band. Most people who have bothered to see them live will vouch for that.
