The Cure!\n\nI've seen them like 12 times, and Robert Smith is always intense.

Nickelback\n\nThey are awesome in concert!\n\nFor EDY: Chad Kroeger from NB wrote a song dedicated to Dimebag Darrell called "Side of a Bullet". They used some of Dimebag's stuff for the guitar solo in the song. In concert they had a whole dedication thing for him with pictures of him & stuff. It was awesome! The song rocks!\n\n:)

Sex Pistols are great, and incrdibly underrated, and I think if your looking for raw, unadulterated expression they are one of the best bnds to choose, as for best band Ever? maybe not, because the qualityof the Beatles,Nirvana,Elvis,Smashing Pumpkins,Ramones, etc. surpasses them

ABSOLUTELY!  They are my favorite and I've seen them in concert 8 times. Fabulous!  I've been a loyal and devoted fan since around 1984-85.  There's not a better band on the planet as far as I'm concerned and I listen to their music every single day. :)

the most amazing band I have heard yet. They're my favorite! I could talk forever about them. Their music is emoting and the bass lines are awesome

I love Green Day - old and new.  Like all bands, they mature and their sound morphs into more melodic and advanced orchestrations.  The Beatles are classic example of what can happen in a mere 6 years.  \n\nI saw Green Day in Boston in 1994, when Dookie was simmering.  The concert was out of this world - although the club that held it had a poor audio system, so it did not do them justice.  Yeah, the ticket was only $7!  So, four of us bought them (standing room only) and had a great night.

That is a hard one, cuz I've seen so many great ones.\n\nI'll go with Emerson, Lake and Palmer back in '77. Keith Emerson the keyboardist, had his rig on a hamster wheel (for lack of a better term), several times during the show, the wheel would spin and emerson would be playing upside down and going around in circles! It was a amazing.\n\nThen when they did Carn Evil 9 (welcome back my friends to the show that never ends...) a huge synthesizer/computer started rising up outta the floor and rose to about 10 ft tall. As it rose, he started flippin switches and turning knobs on it. By the time it reached it's full height, it was producing the most unbelievable sounds, like an orchestra on meth.\n\nIt sapped all my energy and all I could do was watch in stunned amazement. It was as if I'd just had sex...

Slipknot at ozzfest. I saw a bunch of people with their shirts on and had no idea, I got close to the stage and they kicked my arse! Still digging them since.\nRecently I saw a local band called Murderous Geese, they were Rockabilly/punk hybrid that was awesome!

I love them all but my favourite would have to be Billie Joe.  I really love them all. They are the best band ever and no one can ever bet them that's for sure.

Heck yeah...we just saw them perform in Denver (live in Dallas) in March.\n\nI liked the concert I saw of them the time before better.  They did all of Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence live then.\n\nA few days before we had seen Flower Kings.  If you aren't familiar with them, you should definitely check them out.

OMG, The Greatest Concert Ever Was The Destiny's Child Farewell Tour.. I Literally Cried It Was That Good! (& Of Course They Broke Up And All) Everything Was AMAZING! The Costumes, The Dancing, The Singing; I Was In Awe The Whole Time! If You Missed It You HAVE To Buy Destiny's Child Live In Atlanta... It's WELL Worth It!

hmmm... i will have to say the killers because brandon flowers is super-fine and they're pretty damn good in concert. "honest mistake" IS a good song though.

Without a doubt The Big Bad Voodoo Daddie. Fantastic!\n\nBefore that It was ac/dc when they first began I had back stage passes and front row seats. It was so cool. Aerosmith was great too.

Sevendust, the lead singer was really nice and a great tipper!\nThe Urge, those guys are amazingly down to earth.\nFleming and John, the most humble band I have ever met.\nI've mostly met comedians.

Pearl Jam\n\nThey've stayed true to themselves. Instead of selling out with videos and constant press coverage, they pulled back at their height, and focused on the music.They belong up there with Neil Young, Zeppelin and The Beatles because they never compromised their integrity, which is really all any of us have.\n\nThe music rocks.They've continually reshaped their sound, album after album, and are still making great, vital music 12+ years into their career. What else could you want? (2006 effort is spectacular as 1991's Ten)\n\nThere have been scores of imitators. Many Pearl Jam/Eddie Vedder knockoffs have invaded rock radio since Ten.\n\nTheir concerts are first-rate and affordable. I love how the band can keep ticket prices low. It's unique in an era when most artists gouge their fans to the limit. Pearl Jam also has one of the best lives shows around. Did you see them on Live 8? Likewise, releasing their shows on low-cost bootlegs brings a new dimension to seeing one of their shows.\n\nMaybe not the best ever, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Doors are just as good, but Pearl Jam definitely is arguable.
