I agree on Fugazi and Sleater-Kinney.  I disagree on the Dead.  I thought the '90s shows were pale compared to the '80s shows.  Perhaps it was just my mindset.

I miss Chris Whitley.  He put on one of the worst shows I ever saw, but otherwise, the guy could make some amazing sounds with his guitar live.

I'll throw my hat in for the Jesus Lizard, the Apes (just not the same for me anymore with the new singer), Andrew WK, Dismemberment Plan and Primus.  Man, those Primus shows back in the day were so fun...I doubt I'd enjoy them now, but I have fond memories...

Dude, these guys had one full-length.  How can you miss them...that's like two tours max.

What's the story on The Gossip? They haven't split up, have they?

Definitely agree with Sleater-Kinney. They're one of my all-time favorite bands.

I'll nominate Beulah for your consideration.
