I'm was never a big Nirvana fan, but I sometimes think it would have been great to be there the first time Cobain wandered towards his mic and said "this one's called Smells Like Teen Spirit." While I doubt anyone left that club unbruised, the energy's still there in that song, and it would have been great to see the first reaction to it.

Oh, definitely The Who when Keith Moon first joined them (they were The Detours back then I think).

I still have no idea how I got my parents to let me go, but in the 70's I saw Rush in their Farewell to Kings tour. Squished into the general admission mosh that nearly breached the stage, I eventually passed out from compression, but not before I saw them do 2112. The guitar is fantastic on that, but the drums are music alone. Seeing Neil Peart flow effortlessly around his drum cage was one of the high points of my youth - he had the mastery even back then.

My best concert experience: Foo Fighters ('Wasting Light' tour) in a soldout show on their home turf in D.C. I had an excellent view of band having a fantastic time and reaching every person in the arena. If they'd rocked any harder, my heart would have exploded.

In spite of once mildly sharing Sigma40's skepticism, I can report that taking daily fish oil and flax did lower my cholesterol, delaying or nixing the need for prescription drugs. It was my own in-depth, personal study. Your results may vary.

Boy, those 701 people are certainly shouldering the burden of being polled. Are they going to continue to dole out the results one a day?

Personally, I would love a Brennan's Market - but I think I've been saying that since the early 80's.

I'm sure there's probably some Rush haters out there, but I'm not one of them! In a recent biography, Grohl said that as a child he first tried to drum when someone gave him 2112. What a great way to begin - beating on pillows and chairs to a master drum piece.

What needs to be done is an extensive marketing campaign to convince people that Asian Carp are a delicacy and simply delicious, or that their oil is a clean fuel. Then they'd be over-fished and balance restored.
