If u could see anyone...solo artist/band in concert?

Options
Hi

Who would it be/why?..it could be past/present solo artist or group?

I have NO idea...I'm not a huge music fan (don't bash me..LOL)
If I had to pick..it would probably be The Cure
I was a HUUUUGGGGEEEE fan in HS
All decked out in black..died my hair dark...dated an edgy skater boy...

Plus it's one of the only concerts I've seen (besides Brian Adams in 8th grade, Edie Brickell and the new Bohemians on earth day..LOL......and the Lemon heads, Love and Rockets, and INXS...but that was in college..don't remember much :)

Oh, and I would have Fuel open for them...with the x-lead singer...love the sound of his voice
Maybe a song or 2 by Natalie Merchant...love her

    Do I have to pick just one? I have seen alot of my favorites but this is one that I have not ever had the chance to see.

    James Taylor - his music is just classic. I love listening to him.

    I saw G & R back in college...it was a big metal bash concert type thing. Metallica was there too. G & R was awesome!

    I have been a major KISS fan all my life, and have NEVER seen them - shame on me - so it would be them, for sure, but I would also loved to have seen Ted Nugent (as a younger man) as well.

    Bands I have seen:

    Peter Frampton
    Fleetwood Mac
    Stevie Ray Vaughn
    The Cars
    Billy Idol (2x)
    U2 (2x)
    The Alarm (3x)
    The Ramones
    Til Tuesday
    Suicidal Tendencies
    Live
    AC/DC
    The Scorpions

    I would have like to see the Alarm too. My choice would be the Dead Kennedys though, second choice would be Midnight Oil. I can't remember all the concerts I saw, but I did see the Cure back in the day - worse concert I ever went too, though I had a friend that went to them recently and said it was great, so maybe the grew up a little.

    From memory:
    as a young thing:
    Depeche Mode (2x)
    Howard Jones
    OMD
    Power Station :blushing:
    Duran Duran (1984, my first concert)
    Simple Minds
    Oingo Boingo (2x) - one of the best
    New Order (awful)

    a bit older:
    MDC
    Circle Jerks (1994, awful)
    Jello Biafra and Mojo Nixon (one of the best)
    Mojo Nixon and the Toadliquors (Toadliquors live in Austin so a bunch of times)
    Camper Van Beethoven
    The Offspring
    Peter Murphy
    Good Charlotte

    Funny thing is, I'm not all that crazy about live music, and of course, I live in Austin Texas where you can't go anywhere without live music playing. I went to SXSW back in the day and saw a bunch that I can't remember now.

    Let's see aside from the Jonas brothers hmmmmmmmmmm---just kidding. I would have to say
    My Chemical Romance...I had a last minute chance to go but had my daughter go instead...and she didn't really even like them anymore. she said it was awesome. I know they do quite a show and if I could spend the rest of my life only listening to one cd, it would be their Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. I just think Gerard Way is a musical genius.:heart:

    Nina Simone - the goddess of (my) soul! I would also have loved to have seen Nick Drake, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Marvin Gaye and Andres Segovia in their primes. Good topic!

    Bahhhhhhhhhhh where are all my country fans!?!

    I saw Rodney Atkins last summer and he was AMAZING with Phil Vassar

    I went to see Kenny Chesney but it got rained out after about 20 minutes :angry: He was still amazing.

    But my all time favorite in concert...... TIM MCGRAW :love: with Taylor Swift as the opener two summers ago?

    SO AMAZING!
