The Coverdale/Page album is one of my favourites a fantastic combination...

On a serious note, that year RATM beat the X factor single to the Christmas number one I downloaded Killing In The Name about 12 times!

It was only about 60 pence to download on I-tunes and money well spent! I was so chuffed when they announced on Christmas day it was number 1.

Why don't they do something like this every year?

Out of that list I have only seen Muse and Fun Loving Criminals. I'v lived in Reading most my life and have seen plenty of bands at the Reading Festival over the years. The funny thing is the Fun Loving Criminals was one of the more memorable sets I can remember from Reading., I'm a fan of theirs!

Yeah, I saw them at the Aston Villa Leisure Centre with the original line-up before they chopped and changed a bit........ right up close, only a few hundred in there and a very good show and atmosphere.

This was when they were just getting known and Huey's banter was hilarious.

Taking my son to see them again in Feb, they're playing the whole of Wish You Were Here - first time it was Dark Side Of The Moon!

We've also seen MacFloyd, a Scottish Floyd cover band who are very good, but on a much smaller scale.

I could probably add another 50 bands to the list above, just put the most well known ones on there!!!

Nice one!

I would also be interested in more obscure or lesser known bands you have seen if you can be bothered. I'm chuffed with how our music thread has turned out. It's a real music lovers thread, we all love many eras and styles here so don't be shy.

I personally have enjoyed pretty much everyone's input on here so far and have discovered some great music. It's the gift that keeps giving!

Again many thanks for taking the time out to post and again another impressive list. I can tell your what I like to call a proper music head!

All the regular posters on this thread are also what I call proper music heads and that's what has made this place the fun and relaxing thread it is. Thanks to you all.

I hope you find the time to share some music posts on our thread Steelmonkey, the more the merrier!
