Top 10 Live Acts You've Never Seen But You Wish To

I've seen 7 out of 10 of them barny. YEAH.

Tom Waits

1) Kevin Burgess.

I'm probably the only man on the forum that's already seen Karl Mahoney live on stage.

are we talking about ones that are still 'touring' in some capacity then? i assume we are.

the libertines
pavement
the rolling stones
lil wayne
eminem

erm i'm actually struggling to think of more. i've been very lucky in being able to catch most of the acts i love. there are probably a bunch of dubstep artists in that list as well.

The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart
MGMT
The Rolling Stones
Pavement
Arctic Monkeys
LCD Soundsystem
Sigur Ros
The Strokes
Tokyo Police Club

Don't know if it's essentially my top 10 acts.. but these are the ones that came right to me.

ohh and I'd like to see BJM

The Black Angels
Portishead
Blur
MF Doom
The Rifles
The Twilight Sad
The Stevenson Ranch Davidians

I've seen pretty much everyone else i'd want to see.

Shit Horse?

BOWIE
Lee Perry
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Burning Spear
Portishead
Nick Cave
Iggy Pop
Max Romeo

I've seen The Strokes and I'm seeing MGMT in December

Tom Waits and SHIT HORSE are definitely good shouts too, although I will never manage to see them

The National
Bowie
Blur
Neil Young
Radiohead
Franz Ferdinand
Pulp
Iggy Pop
Arctic Monkeys (turned down 2 chances to see them in TINY venues in '06 )

I missed Iggy in Benicassim a few years ago God knows why, I will always regret that. And if I ever find myself in the same room that Mr. Nick Cave I'll probably hold on to his leg and never get loose.

I've seen pretty much all my favourite acts, still quite a few i'd like to catch though.

Bowie (festival only, wouldn't pay)
Al Green (same)
Brendan Benson
Weezer (especially if they bring blue/pinkerton to TCOTU)
Pulp (not paying 50 sheets to see them on a sunday at hyde park but would love to see them)
Dexys Midnight Runners (festival only, not sure if they still gig actually)
Smudge
Cee-Lo Green
Gorillaz
Toots & The Maytals
The Tallest Man On Earth
Mercury Rev (prob go see them next year perform deserter songs)
Darker My Love
Guided By Voices (if they do a proper tour)
New York Dolls
Alice Cooper (serious.)
NoBunny
Shit Horse
The Divine Comedy
Dave Rawlings Machine
sobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan
Gil Scott-Heron
Tom Waits
The Wynd
I've seen the white stripes but only headlining glastonbury from 3000 miles away when I wasn't that arsed, I'd go see them pretty much anywhere now even a shit arena, they are the band I wanna see most now.

White Stripes are an absolute MUST see.

I saw Gorillaz and Brendan in Benicassim this year. Gorillaz is a one-time must see tbh, really different kind of spectacle and has that bit of seeing The Clash too. But only once, their songs aren't strong enough. Brendan was quite nice, lovely seeing his girl with the baby showing from the backstage. A little soft and repetitive though, I always tend to think that bar the first Racounteurs album he could give more.

Forgot about them, would be a top5 for me probably

Ben Folds
Eels
Flaming Lips
Sonic Youth
Sigur Ros
Arcade Fire (although I'm still bitter about that cancelled Lille gig I was supposed to go)
Fleet Foxes
Pulp



I think that's it.

My top live acts I have seen would be.

Doves
Björk
Pavement

Radiohead
White Stripes
Daft Punk
Interpol

Is this happening?

I'd love to see Neil Young more than anyone else I can think of right now. Can't believe he only played in Aberdeen last time.
