If you can guess in one try which two on this list I have seen, I promise I won't leer at you the next show we mutually attend. Hint: Buddy Holly is not one of the two.

The Mats and the Waterboys.

Did you see Buddy Holly?

[Cock Van Der Palm]

No. I'm too young for that (not that I'm young).  I thought putting him in would make it obvious he was the odd man out.

I'm gonna guess R.E.M. and The Replacements.

A little obvious is probably good for the game imo because otherwise it's pretty random when it's strangers who have seen lots of bands...however that one may have  been too obvious.

Me as usual was overthinking the inclusion of Buddy Holly and the crickets… could have been a tribute act or may be as part of a musical.. thus the red herring

As far as Buddy’s career, he would have held his own against Elvis, The Beatles and  Brian Wilson\Beach Boys, etc..

Already adapt at writing great pop songs, it was clear  towards he would have also become an amazing producer

before this drops off page one.. the band i haven't seen is The Chameleons (UK)

and the tale is they were touring with The Might Lemon Drops who I was well into at the time.. TMLD played a great set, but then because this was in the days when headlining  bands often didn't start until late and then play until the 2am curfew, me and my buddy waited patiently for The Chameleons to come on... it turned 1am on a weekday and with no sign of them hitting the stage, we bailed...

[Space Freely]

Easy one here:

Big Audio Dynamite
The Pogues
Sick of it All
Fugazi
Feist
Stars
Broken Social Scene
Kurt Elling
Medeski Martin and Wood
Tori Amos

[Julian, Bespoke SEXPERT]

I was actually thinking of guessing that one for you when I chose the Primitives. Though i obviously didn't know the story behind it.

I heard DCD on the radio on Friday covering Sinead O'Connor's Stretched on Your Grave as part of a Halloween themed show, and was going to post that guess Friday. But then I got busy with other stuff and forgot all about it.
