Who Is Your Favorite Singer or Band

[bnorth]

AC/DC I am not much for concerts but made it to these 3.

Who Made Who Tour Aug. 28 1986 in Sioux Falls, SD. They where so loud that they cracked the heck out of the brick arena and caused the arena to put a decibel limit on all future concerts held there.

Black Ice Tour June 23 2009 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. This was so awesome words can not even come close to describing it.

Black Ice Tour April 17 2010 in Des Moines, IA. The bands last concert in North America.

Elton John. Bought my first Elton John album(Capt Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy) when I was 5, almost 6 years old with allowance money. "My Money" . Love Elton the entertainer, even now. Can listen to anything by him. Especially the early stuff.
Band wise, Rolling Stones, ZZ Top, Eagles, Oak Ridge Boys, ABBA.
Yeah I'm , odd....

Boz Scaggs in his early years, especially his blues songs like "Somebody Loan Me A Dime." Hard to beat Grace Slick though!

I listen to a lot of different stuff, and enjoy music from just about every artist mentioned so far, but my favorite has always been Rush.

The Canadian trio has been rocking out for 40 yrs now, and they tour not as a nostalgia act, but with fresh, new material. Saved every tickets stub (except one) from 60+ shows, with the first one in 1984...

Singer ...... Donna Summer

Band(s) (having seen both these groups live several times, it's tough to decide)

Dave Brubeck Jazz Quartet

or

The Chicago Transit Authority......otherwise known as Chicago

Great choices guys. I think Elton might be almost #1 for me but it is a toss up with none other than the Beatles. Honorable mention would go to names like....(not in any order.....)

Hank Williams Sr.
Zack Brown band
BR-549
Styx
REO Speedwagon
Harry Connick Jr.

1) Grateful Dead and then all of the other incarnations after Jerry Garcia passed.

2) Jimmy Buffett

3) Tons of others in all types of genres. I love music!

Obviously I am showing my age and suffer from commitment issues, however, I would struggle to decide which one of these would be my favorite artist.

• Etta James
• Marvin Gaye
• Mavis Staples
• Al Green
• Stevie Wonder
• David Ruffin

Just cant pick between Elton John and Billy Joel. Maybe the slightest edge to Elton. Maybe.

So many greats though now around anymore, Sinatra, Queen (not the same without Freddy), Beatles (I still love Paul in concert), Whitney, Beach Boys (too many original members gone) etc.

[Robextend]

Classic: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Modern - Jimmy Eat World

[MyGuyTy]

Gotta with Elton John or Phil Collins for individual singers

[groundhog]

Guns n Roses for me.

[Davino]

Phish & the Grateful Dead
The Stones

Afternoon,

I've been to about 1000+ concerts (Lived for 15 years 1 mile from Red Rocks by Denver, did at least 40-50 shows every summer just there).

#1 always will be Rush, Seen them 39 times and counting......I'll be wherever they play here in Colorado next summer......As Usual!!

YeeHah!

Neil

[CW]

^^^ Nice! Have always wanted to go to Red Rocks to see Rush. That place and The Gorge, which is one of Neil's favorite places to play.

Here's some shots I saved back in '94 from Rush's Red Rocks show. R30 Tour. I believe the band posted these on their site back then.

Great Rush pics! I'd have to go Rush, Van Halen, and Led Zeppelin.
