Who has been the greatest live act ever?
The best band or act you've ever seen? The Stones, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Queen, Pink Floyd, Prince, The Who, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Kiss, AC/DC, Sonic Youth, Nirvana or someone else? This Day in Music have just started a poll to find out. If you fancy voting for who you think should win go to http://www.thisdayinmusic.com You can vote for any act, just go to 'other' on the list.

It's a pretty generic list of bands to be honest. And I don't want my own personal choice to be lumped in under 'other' with My Chemical Romance, really...

Nine Inch Nails gave the best performance I've ever seen, hands down.
And even though I'm not too big a fan, Bruce Springsteen is an absolutley fantastic live performer who has done a fantastic job of not letting his age get in his way.(my dad took me to see him with me earlier this year) Sonic Youth were fantastic live even if it did turn into a bit of a bad experience for me.

Animal Collective
But then again I haven't seen that much shows in my life... The only bands I saw were !!!, The Bellrays, Radio 4, Dinosaur Jr, Mogwai, The Shins, The Hives, Arcade Fire, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Dragons Of Zynth, K-Branding, Hot Chip, Animal Collective, Atlas Sound, Nervous Cabaret, HEALTH, Caribou, Birdy Nam Nam, No Age, and Neptune today. Of all those, Animal Collective was clearly the better in my opinion |

surely the band that one votes for as greatest ever live act would also be the best band they've ever seen?

I've seen Peter Gabriel three times and all of 'em were great. The Tubes put on a good show. Siouxsie and the Banshees kicked serious ass the two times I saw 'em
Alas, SY is 50:50 with me. One good show; one less than good (because I wasn't that fond of RR). Best? Hard to say.

Jean Michelle Jarre. Musical progress counts for nothing when compared with seeing a guy in a white leather blouson playing 800 keyboards at once.
