Haven't been to as many gigs as I'd like to, and a lot of these I saw when I was younger and should have known better, or I was dragged along by a 'mate'. So, from what I remember...

The Good:
The Fall
The Hives
The Coral (back when they were any good)
Interpol
The Bellrays
The Buff Medways
Soundtrack Of Our Lives
The Rumblestrips
The Thrills
Art Brut
The Metros
To My Boy
The Animals
The Datsuns
Madness

The Bad:
Longview
Phantom Planet
The Wombats
The Donnas
The Polyphonic Spree

The Near-Misses (or when fate got in the way!):
The Specials
David Bowie
Nick Cave
Grinderman
Elvis Costello
Oasis
The Young Knives
The Prodigy
Soulwax
Steel Pulse
Baaba Maal
The Undertones
Lee Perry

The Near Misses list is far more impressive than The Good list.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

The Polyphonic Spree must have been having a bad night because I think they generally put on an excellent show. I was really impressed when I saw them.

I thought they were alright too. It could have something to do with the fact that they were playing after Interpol and The Thrills and after enduring them i could have probably been tempted to put a bullet in my head, but i quite liked The Polyphonic Spree.

Even worse, I have pretty rubbish excuses for not seeing them either Of the ones I remember particularly fondly, I only still listen to 5 or 6 of them these days. Everyone needs to go to a Madness or Hives gig at least once in their lives. Most of them were just good fun in the live environment - stuff like Art Brut, the Thrills and the Metros put on a good show, but I wouldn't be caught dead with an album of theirs.

Longview just bored the crap out of me, but looking back the Polyphonic Spree weren't actually as bad as the others. Just not really my kinda thing.

And, as I think I've said before, if you ever want to crush a man's will to live, take him a to Wombats gig.

near misses for me:

Pink Floyd (1994) Birth of my first son conspired against me bless him
Fields Of The Nephilim (played locally at the height of their powers)
Obituary (had tickets but money really fecked it up as it was in London)
Iron Maiden ( I have never seen them and again had tickets for them 2 years ago but logistically impossible at the time)
Hayseed Dixie- played locally a few times but somehow never got to see them and they are meant to be brilliant live.
