greatest klive act ever??? its a personal thing so difficult to answer that question. i could say the who or hendrix but i never personally experienced those live so for me its gotta be one of the best bands ive seen with my own ears.

melt banana, mission of burma, my bloody valentine, nine inch nails, the idiots (long gone band from dublin), pavement. great great great performances each one but someone may rate jeff beck or king crimson higher...i cant!

Dr. John, The Stooges, Black Sabbath (original line-up), Red Hot Chili Peppers, Hawkwind, Motörhead, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Jethro Tull, Stray Cats, the Cramps, Fugazi, Fishbone, Radiopuhelimet, Keuhkot were great, but if I have to choose one I´ll choose some local classic orchestra and chorus performing Mozart´s Requem in Mathias Church in Hungary.

Dr. Eugene Felikson 01.08.2011 08:44 AM

Melt Banana, G.G. Allin, ICP, Sonic Youth, Gorgoroth
