I've done some thinking...and while this isn't 100% correct, my of the moment top ten in no particular order:
 
 Sigur Ros
 REM
 Live - Throwing Copper or earlier only
 Idlewild
 Delgados
 Pixies (more a re-discovery)
 The Go-Gos
 Explosions in the Sky
 Postal Service
 And of course, Exit Clov

Thank you!  I've been thinking about who the hell that was since I watched it last night.

I was going to tape it, but forgot.
 
 They also played Iota a few months back, but I couldn't go because I had school.

Only on this board would someone refer to Allison Moorer's performance on Leno as "missed John Davis on Leno".

She was good with Yaz, but I never liked her solo stuff.

 She was excellent opening for Dwight Yoakam at Wolftrap, and is ever bit as good as her sister Shelby.

 the Pixies
 Belle & Sebastian
 the Clash
 the Jesus Lizard

I was in the same boat as you.  I was tempted to put them, but I felt bad leaving out some bands that really deserve it, since I've loved them for so much longer.  As is, I've already pretty much re-written some of my list.
