Favorite bands

[Nixit]

Only 3 for me, though I've been to two R.E.M. concerts.

[Stan]

Sorry, I didn't look close enough I've also seen Springstein and Paul Simon...long long time ago.

[Talapus]

Adderly is awsome as well. It is just that there are too many excellent Jazz artists to name them all. (and thanks for pointing out that typo. I sometimes get typing too fast and make silly mistakes like spelling david instead of davis)

[Nixit]

It's true, although I tend to stick with saxophone artists, because I gotta listen to them to better myself as a player.

[HoH]

Those who don't like country, shield your eyes.

Garth Brooks.
Billy Currington.
Rascal Flatts
Gary Allan
Blake Shelton

And, the best one of all, GEORGE STRAIT!!!

Yay Missy... I also rate Sarah McLachlan.
In the arms of the Angels.. she has the most angelic voice.
But the dance mix by DJTiesto just rocks of her Delerium- Silence. and sweet surrender.
Lio- Rapture
James blunt.
Gorrilaz
Coldplay -fix you or green eyes
Chicane
Faithless
Atb
Above and beyond - most mix's
Armin Van Buuren excellent dj
Dido
Tito and the Tarantulas - Carachas Anjodas.
Aerosmith
Queen
Nirvana
And many many more but far too many to mention.

Jack, I got to see Trey Anastasio live at Higher Ground in Vermont a few years back...only one word can summarize it...amazing....And coventry, I have a bunch of friends who saw Phish at Coventrey, they said it was mindblowing.

As far as my music tastes go, it really varies. most of the bands I like no one here would ever know of...considering that they are israeli, but as far as big names.:

Depeche Mode
Panic! at the disco (great music, you all should download some)
OAR (saw them live....amazing)
Lifehouse(saw them live too
The Shins
Matisyahu (I don't know, but I just really like some of his music)
Flogging Molly
Gorillaz
Offspring
Zox

Those are all I can remember, maybe more will come to me later...

I really recommend the band Zox, they are a smalltime band from Rhode Island. It is really hard to classify them, in their first album they were very much a jamband, but now they are becoming less of a jamband and more of a reggae-style violin-rock band. http://www.zoxband.com is their website, listen to them before you make judgement calls.

I've seen Trey a few times with different bands. Oysterhead was a sweet show... Trey, Les Claypool, and Stewart Copeland of the Police. It's an interesting trio, and I'd reccomend anyone check it out.

He is a phenomenal performer, and always puts on a good show. Been to probably a dozen Phish shows, including 1999-2000 new years party in Big Cypress, Florida. Also saw a couple shows in the local movie theater!

My wife and I went to Vegoose in Las Vegas, NV this past Halloween. Many good bands played. The ones I enjoyed most:

>Trey Anastasio (of course)
>Beck
>Primus
>The Arcade Fire
>Widespread Panic
>String Cheese Incident
>Slightly Stoopid
>Dave and Friends
>Ween
>Phil Lesh & Friends

Anyway, the coolest place I've seen Trey was in the Fillmore in Denver. He performed with his ten-piece band. Simply astonishing!
