Greg's Top Ten Bands I Want to See Live:

1. Depeche Mode - I blame Martha Santana for this one. Seriously, you couldn't wait one more month to go to Japan? Seriously.
2. Genesis - Bassi, if they ever do that dream tour with Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins, no price will be too high, my friend.
3. Tears For Fears - Still haven't gotten around to this one yet. Now that they're back together I anticipate I might see them with someone. You hear me, Denise?
4. Iron Maiden - Of all the metal bands out there, they top my list and it's not even close. I'd say Guns N Roses, but I have no interest in seeing an overweight has-been who might show up an hour late to his own show.
5. Daft Punk - Everything these guys do is utter gold.
6. David Bowie - I swear, if he ever comes back around I'm going. No telling how much longer we have to enjoy the pure genius of The Thin White Duke. I made the mistake of putting off Pink Floyd too long. I won't make that mistake with Bowie.
7. New Order - Not sure how often they tour the States, but if they ever come around, count me in. I'm still amazed by the number of great songs they've penned over the years.
8. U2 - If they ever did a tour and just sang everything from before Zooropa I'd be completely on board. Since they usually pepper their shows with more current material, I'm less enthused. Still would be a great show and I know Jackie Marrwould agree.
9. Billy Idol - I dressed like him for an 80s party. The least I could do is see him live, right? BTW, I made a damn good Billy Idol.
10. Paul McCartney - I adore The Beatles. And although I'll never get to see them live, I'll take the next best thing. Heck, I'd even take seeing Ringo Starr just to say I saw a member of The Beatles live.
