    Off the top of my head, just one act per letter. Followed my record shelf rules - disregard “The”, solo artists classified by last name unless they go by a stage name. I counted festival or opening sets as long as I actually watched them. 

    Not surprised that I couldn’t come up with Q, X or Z, but a little surprised that I couldn’t think of an E. I spent more than a minute considering whether I could file Bruce under “E” but decided I can’t in good conscience.

    J- Jimi Hendrix Experience
    K- King Crimson
    L- Larry Coryell
    M- Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels
    N- Neil Young and Crazy Horse
    O- (None.  Although I did meet Keith Morris, I have not seen OFF!)
    P- Pearl Jam
    Q- (none)
    R- REM
    S- Sun Ra and his Solar Arkestra
    T- Talking Heads
    U- U2

    E - Everclear
    F - Foo Fighters
    G - Guns n' Roses
    H - Headstones
    I - Iron Maiden
    J - Jane's Addiction
    K - KISS
    L - Live
    M - Metallica
    N - Nine Inch Nails
    O - Osbourne, Ozzy
    P - Pixies (was trying not to go for obvious one for a Pearl Jam message board)
    Q - Queens of the Stone Age
    R - Rob Zombie
    S - Slayer
    T - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
    U - U2
    V - Van Halen
    W - Weezer
    Y - Young, Neil
    Z - ZZ Top

    Not sure if Y was a stretch, because I managed to do the whole rest of the list on first letter of the band name, and the only other time I used a solo artists name was Ozzy, who has the same letter for first/last name. Keeping with my own scoring system of using the artists first letter of their last name, I can do it :)
