The Beatles, The Clash, The Jam (seen Weller, but I'd still have loved to have seen them), Led Zep, Rolling Stones, Stone Roses, Oasis, Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Black Sabbath, The Doors, Joy Division, Pink Floyd, The Who, Deep Purple, Bob Marley... etc...
A good choice Sir. "You take it on faith, you take it to the heart, the waaaaaaaaaaiiiting is the hardest part ..." - What an amazing tune
saw some of the above but maybe wasnt ready. some i saw becase i thought i ought to rather than because i was a fan. not always a good idea.
I have a different one to you, Past I would have loved to see Housemartins or James now Take That or Coldplay.
I would love to see Cheryl Cole for certain reasons, Love Eminem music and also 50 Cent music, Wouldn't mind seeing Usher live either.
Oh and this fella would have been something to see live, invented cool before cool was known.. [video=youtube;1zgja26eNeY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zgja26eNeY[/video]
Like rap and R&B, You not? I like Pop aswell, Think I have a good music taste, like a lot of current well I am only 21, the music when I was young was like Take That, Westlife little bit later and few others.
I can't stand rap and R&B. The latter hasn't been good since the 60's, with the exception of when bands such as Led Zeppelin incorporated it into their work (and I mean real Rhythm and Blues, not computer generated Beyonce-esque ****e kids listen to these days). The former, rap, has never been good. Such music can't hold a candle to the likes of The Beatles, Elvis or The Who.
you mean there ar epeople who think they dont have good taste? ho ho. he says "when i was young" and hes just 21. your taste gonna change so beware. its not a bad thing but it will. some people stop following music and stay in a time warp frozen to the day they bought their last album. some of them even retain the hairstyle that goes with it. you see them. 55 year old punks. 60 year old rockers with a beer belly you could build on and grey hair down their back and a 1973 heavy metal tee shirt. trapped in time thinking there still cool. dignity long gone. sad but true. get a haircut and stop dressing like you did when you were 17. then theres others who still love what they grew up with but not closing their minds to the new or even the unopened old. ever hopeful that unheard stuff will move them or even rejected stuff will come back and sound okay instead of crap. or even they get to an age where they give it a fair hearing it never had before. then theres most of them. kids came along record buying days are behind them. life got in the way and they dont really bother anymore. heard something nice on the radio the other day and thought duffy was nice. all real interest long dead. dont be the latter and dont be the former. let me tell you about fads. fads happen in music. it comes in waves. fads have a shelf life of three years max. late 50s rocknroll - 1955? 56? charts and fades. gone by 58 or 59. trad jazz. wtf? merseybeat hits the charts 63 and its gone by 65 or 66. mod just the same. flowerpower same. glam same. punk same. 1980ish electro bands same. bad usa rawk same and a relief it died. bloody power ballads. cool britannia. three years tops. strands live on in backwaters refusing to die but the chart days are gone the big sales dont happen. leftover hippies. leftover punks. xfactor is drying up. somehow rap carries on. till when? till black youth find something else. jazz - black usa origins rocknroll - black usa origins soul - black usa origins reggae - black somewhere else origins rap - black usa origins most of its based on that lot often with a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down. sometimes theres something new and not based on that but its usually just a mutant cousin. heavy metal looks unrelated but isnt. electronica looks unrelated but it marries one of rap's ever evolving new this week genres and joins the family tree. hell ive just written an essay. better have a sit down. try not to close you mind or your ears. you only need a rhythm to dance to and you can ignore a dodgy tune if necessary.
Mine was The Doors. The Clash were the best band I ever saw live, I went to see them many times and all were brilliant apart from the last time in Manchester, Mick Jones had just left and they were just not the same.
The Stone Roses or Love (the original band) - I wouldnt have got into music/my job if it hadnt been for the Roses. One of the best bands I ever saw live though was a small time yank band called The Warlocks at the Tunbridge Wells Forum! Had 2 drummers and they even made that dump sound like Wembley...
Number 1 would be The Jam c.1979 (All Mod Cons era) but anytime in their existence would be fine. Also the Smiths would also be brilliant - can't see them reforming and Mozza without Marr just isn't the same for me. There are some amazing bands mentioned in this thread and naturally Beatles, Hendrix, Pistols etc would all be on my list. Clapham Tigers is clearly a man after my heart in saying "Love" c.1967 would be class. Love (no pun intended) Arthur Lee, managed to see him in 2002 and 2003 with his then backing band but the Love line up of 'Forever Changes' line up would have been quality, especially in LA!
