It was awesome. I didn't know then what I was seeing. I just knew they were amazing. I didn't know they would change the muscial landscape. That is another fond memory.

At my former college radio station I used to look through old photos, and there were all these old pictures of Fugazi, Nirvana, etc playing shows at small clubs, before anyone really knew who they were. I was always very jealous. :) That’s so awesome, sharpld!

Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys: where Texas Swing began. Hank Williams: Must listen. Marty Robbins: Bless his Arizona-born heart, awesome songwriter, and his voice will absolutely break your heart. Chet Atkins: The guitarist that revered guitarists revere. Eddy Arnold: One of the smoothest, most beautiful voices ever.

I will look into them. For current country crossovers, I might also check out the Grammy competition, Lady Antebellum, as well...and people are raving about Sugarland - I have one of their singles. But when I listen I am not sure I will know how they stack up to the classics. My sense of country is limited to huge legends like Dolly and Johnny Cash. Awesome, coolmom, thank you!

I would be willing to make a couple of Country artist recommendations (I promise, no princesses!) for whatever they are worth. I have seen both Clint Black and Vince Gill in concert, and they are both fantastic performers, TRULY gifted musicians (multiple instruments in both cases), terrific singers, and they both write their own material. They are no longer at the top of Nashville because they are older, but they were both as big as they could get 15 years ago. Back in those days musicianship rather than youth and looks counted for something in Nashville. If you ever get an opportunity to see either of them I don't think you'd be disappointed. mememoi and cpaig, Dolly Parton would be awesome in concert.

My infatuation with them was nearly identical. Right down to the Simon fantasies! LOL! And I had everything - magazines, puzzle, vinyl imports, a silver 'roadie' jacket... I actually recouped a bit of my teenage $$ by selling the stuff on eBay the last couple of years! I LOVE this: "I figured out the other day that they represent for me a hope for the next generation of true GOODNESS." JB are truly something special. Something we haven't seen the likes of in my lifetime, and something that is much needed. Concerts, hmm... can't even remember half of them. Used to go to all sorts of shows at hole-in-the-wall clubs with friends on weekends. Saw Elvis Costello at one of those when I was way too young to appreciate him.

David Sylvian. Do you remember him? He was with a group called Japan. He was so handsome back then. Oh, I thought of another really good show I saw! David Sylvian. Do you remember him?

So many legendary artists and diverse tastes! I'm very jealous of many. It makes me wonder if any of the bands that I saw in my teens and am seeing right now in my early 20s will go to become "legendary" artists. sharpld: When did you see Fugazi? I can only imagine how awesome and intense a Fugazi show would have been. So cool to read everyone’s concert lists. So many legendary artists and diverse tastes! I’m very jealous of many.
