@Jett129 I have the Cream at Albert Hall DVD and as you said…pretty fucking incredible

@Bridger ZZ Top, The Police, Uncle Tupelo (original lineup), Hüsker Dü, Sugar, Semisonic

[SKT]

I don’t know why but I feel like I have to defend my Semisonic pick. When I was in college there was a band called Trip Shakespeare that used to come and play at our local college bar “The Blue Note”. They were great live and my friends and I became big fans. When they broke up, Dan Wilson went on to form Semisonic before becoming quite famous as a hit songwriter for some big artists. Anyway, love Semisonic

@SKT I feel like I know the name Trip Shakespeare. Is that even possible. I saw Cream In a college auditorium right after Disraeli Gears was released. Absolutely mind blowing. Saw them during the reunion tour,and was surprisingly impressed with how good they still were. Especially that cunt Ginger Baker. I had the misfortune to meet him,and if he was on fire,I wouldn’t piss to put him out.

@SKT Otto's Chemical Lounge/Blue Hippos?

[SKT]

@anodyne man all these sound familiar to me but I can’t say I saw any of them live. Great time for live music though!

[SKT]

@Jett129 I watched a documentary about Baker…your comment hits the spot. Kind of an eccentric…but mean ol’ prick

@SKT was it the one where he hits the director in the face with his cane?

@GraemeE that’s the one

Hüsker Dü

NIce addition and a double umlaut to boot!

For all of you Radiohead fans. This band is so good. Their average age is 12. They're going places for sure.

Also, I love the the drummer is playing open-handed.

[ARNC]

@seawolf I think young performers always bring a special energy, whatever they’re playing. Maybe it’s because they’re still exploring and haven’t forgotten how to have fun.

not really a Radiohead fan, but that's very cool

[endo]

speaking of the special energy of the youth reminds me of this one (that you probably know, but it's so good)

I suspect a lot of people can relate to this. It's a band that divides opinions.

What other strong marmite bands can people think of?

Oasis, U2, Taylor Swift and Coldplay come immediately to mind.

@ARNC I love that!
