    1. Pearl Jam
    2. MMJ
    3. Raconteurs

    I see everyone with radiohead on here, after hearing people rave about them and drool over them I listened to all their studio stuff and it didnt grab me at all. Then people said, "well you gotta see them live, thats what its all about with them", so I saw them live at Lollapalooza this year, and I swear to you, i hated the performance. It was sleepy trancy, go to bed music. Is this normal? people think im insane for not getting it. I am always fair when listening to other artists and give bands a chance but radiohead just bombed out for me. Please tell me someone agrees with me and im not NuTs!! ha!

    I am seeing them in sept as well. It will be my 4th and the second time at this venue, a really small theatre. Last time was fucking incredible! I can't wait.

    Bad Religion puts on a great show. I saw them with Dropkick Murphys a couple of years ago, it was nuts. They're playing in Winnipeg in a few weeks, but it's at a shitty seated theatre, so I'm going to skip it this time around.
    Hello, I love you. Won't you tell me your name?

    I don't know. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, of course, and undoubtedly everyone's tastes differ when it comes to music.

    But I can say I've experienced three different instances where I went to a show with a Radiohead sceptic/doubter/hater and ALL three times the person was blown away by the performance and left the show finally "getting it."

    1. Pearl Jam
    2. Radiohead
    3. Kings Of Leon

    Honorable mentions:

    Wolfmother, Metallica, My Morning Jacket, The Raconteurs, Muse (hard for me to deicde whether or not to put them in the top 3, oh well), Foo Fighters (not a big fan, but I will admit that they are good).
    I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

    I can't believe that so many people think the FF are a good band. They were definitely the worst band I saw live this year out of about 15 shows.

    Not to nit pick but wolfmother broke up so they are not current any more.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
