    i've seen the Cure five times in concert, and I cannot even begin to tell you how amazing they sound..
    Robert Smith is one of the most underrated guitarists of our generation
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Agreed zombie. Saw them once in concert at the Irvine Amp here in CA. One of the best I've ever been to. No show, no stunts, no fireworks, no stage decor. Just the band on stage singing. It was awesome, one of those concerts I'll never forget.

    exactly... four hours of music, most of it pulled from every nook and cranny of their catalog
    w/ no frills, just an awesome performance that trumped their recorded material (which is the number one factor i take into consideration before I shell out Ticketmaster moolah)

    Bananarama. Still Delicious after all these years.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    is that the same Bananarama as in the 80's? New members perhaps? Are they imposters? ;)

    Wow! I am surprised that 2 of the founding members of Bananarama are still at it. Good for them.

    Oops-

    I forgot Talking Heads, but I guess you could argue that they were a 70's and 80's band.

    No kidding. Wonder what happened to the 3rd girl. One of my fav bands from the 80's.

    There is no time period that can compare with the absolute avalanche of incredibly good and diverse music associated with the mid 60's to very early 70's. You left out Motown and a lot of R & B as well Codder.

    Perfect.

    Sans the bubble gum bands.

    I like the Wilson Sisters they were in the eighties? Right? I dig some of those musicians from the 80's, 1680, 1780, 1880.

    For a moment, I was thinking you meant the Wilson sisters of Wilson Philips (daughters of Brian Wilson) :D
