Top 5 Bands You Haven't Seen Live

[TallGuyCM]

Hopefully over the course of time most of us have been able to see some of our favorite bands in concert, but of course there are always a few that seem to be elusive that you haven't been able to see live yet for one reason or another.

So, who are your Top 5 bands that you need to see live before you die that you haven't been able to see yet? (Keep in mind, bands on the list need to have the possibility of touring. i.e. no Nirvana, Clash, etc.)

Mine are:

1. Lou Reed (in any way, shape, or form)
2. Pixies
3. Portishead
4. Bjork
5. White Stripes

Edit: Bands who have broken up count, as long as the majority of the members are alive and there is even a remote possibility of them reuniting and touring in the future.

It's threads like this that make me realize I have seen a ton of concerts as I really struggled to come up with 5.

It does help that I crossed off two bands that would have made the list earlier this year (Doves and Mission of Burma)

1) David Bowie
2) Hum
3) The Smiths
4) Ned's Atomic Dustbin
5) The Who

[zimmy1222]

no particular order:

Trentemøller
Daft Punk
Talking Heads
Underworld : (
FUGEES...

Honorable Mention: Tool, Orbital, Outkast, Boards of Canada

[sonnyboy11]

So are we talking bands that exist now or bands that exist now and/or might exist in the future? Anyway, here's mine

1) David Bowie
2) Talking Heads
3) Genesis (w/ Peter Gabriel)
4) Elbow
5) Iron Maiden

Btw, I do not list any "new" bands because for the most part since I discover new bands by seeing them live. Tindersticks for example were were a recent discovery for me- holy crap are those guys good live! So I went out afterwards and bought most of their stuff. I buy tickets to live shows on a whim and see how it turns out. Even those Goldenvoice concert emails are enough to sway me.

Kyuss and At the Drive in.. I have seen everyone else..

[Derekx]

In no particular order.

1. Underworld
2. The Smiths
3. New Order
4. David Bowie
5. Radiohead
