I've been fortunate enough to see most of my other faves

top of the list - the sex pistols; in a grotty hole under an assumed name at the height of their infamy....though i'ld settle for seeing them now ,if only to save rotten the embarrassment of having to make another sh!te series for the discovery channel.
with them i would have to include crass,x-ray spex and dead kennedys (with jello biafra,natch).

Joy Division - what would I give for a time machine.

King Missile
The Doors
Jimi Hendrix
The Teardrop Explodes.
Sex Pistols in '77
NWA

Will put a big fat tick on all of the above

For me I have been lucky enough to catch all the bands I really wanted to (due to them reforming over the past few years.

For me my one regret was never seeing The Specials - I did too much too young

First band I ever saw was the Specials. On a playing field in Rotherham. My mum told me I couldn't go.

Now the original line up of the Stooges have played for me thirty years after splitting my main one has been granted.

For me:
Joy Division
Tom waits (his only UK gig for 17 years had pairs of tickets going for £1800)
A few dead blues blokes - Howlin' Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson etc.

There is one band...

Nigh on 8 years of fan-dom... and almost as many narrowly missed opportunities...

Now Suicide doing Frankie Teardrop would be good. And of course VU would have been something to behold - The Exploding Plastic Ineviteble indeed.

Specimen, Fields of the Nephilim, The Cult.

And for my penny's worth - AC/DC with the late great Bon Scott fronting.

Looking at your profile you may just have struggled to convince the doormen you were over the 'age limit' for that gig.
