Memage

Music meme from lunchboy: Copy this list; leave in the bands you've seen perform live; delete the ones you haven't, and add new ones that you have seen until you reach 25. An asterisk means the previous person had it on their list. Two asterisks means the last two people who did this before you had that band on their list, etc.

This list is in no particular order and is pretty heavy on the late 80's/early 90's bands, because that's when I was young and could stay up late and didn't have a spouse who dislikes going to see live music. (Though I have successfully dragged him to several Richard Thompson shows, so there's that.)
