Curious if anyone else keeps a wishlist of bands they are still trying to see live. I've been able to knock out a lot of them the last 5 years, but here are the ones I am most eager to see live:

Blues Traveler
blur
Neil Young
Metallica
Rise Against
Social Distortion
Elvis Costello
Beck
Phish
Fugazi (not likely they will ever tour again, though not technically broken up so I will dream)

    Nice list. From your list I have seen Blur, Neil Young, and Fugazi multiple times. Have seen Social D and Beck one time each. I will have to think of my list. Great question.

    For sure

    -Palaye Royale 
    -Chris Stapleton 
    -Sia
    -Brand New (if they ever decide to get something together again)
    -Sunny Day Real Estate (seeing them in May though) 
    -Chevelle 
    -Muse
    -Peter Gabriel 
    -Lenny Kravitz 
    -RATM (seems even more unlikely sadly)
    -Harry Styles 

    Bands I wish I could unsee and retry: The Strokes. Boy was that awful.

    Saw Lenny Kravitz back 90something when he was popular. Kind of underwhelming.

    Never saw:

    Bjork

    Sure that would be interesting

    Rage is on mine as well and super bummed it's probably not going to happen.

    Poison
    Bush

    At this point I've either seen all the live acts I want to see (quite often when I'm going to a show, i'm seeing the artist/band for 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 30th time), but I haven't gotten to see these two.  Poison I've loved since I was a kid in the 80s.   I can't be in bad mood if I put on some classic poison... lol.    Bush, I'm not sure how I haven't gotten around to them. They were here in December, but I ran out of Vacation days to miss work, to travel to Vancouver to see them.  The downside of adult life, living on an island, and weekday shows.

    I've seen Bush twice in the last few years and was impressed how good they sound. Gavin even ran all the way to the back of the amphitheater at one show,

    I saw them once at a festival in the 90s. I do remember liking them.

    Tool is pretty much the last band on my list that I haven't seen live.

    I've been very fortunate to have seen not only the big 90s bands such as PJ, Soundgarden, AIC, Foo Fighters, STP, RHCP and a bunch of others, but also many the older generation's finest like Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Tom Petty, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Roger Waters and a bunch more of them, too.

    I crossed Gov't Mule, Les Claypool and Earthless off my list in the last year. That pretty much only leaves Tool.
