RS Top 20 Best in Show

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I liked them in 1988 and saw them a couple of times but can't imagine having to sit through one of their shows today. There are bands that I liked in 1988 that I would enjoy seeing today.. I guess it's just my own personal test of time.
 
 Perry Farrell is just a big dork geek idiot.

No.  That was the Velvet Underground (you're doing a hell of a Mankie, BTW)

 No I meant that Canadian band that covered it, recorded it in a church, that must have been them.

I am just going to pretend,
 
 being gay is passe also.
 
 Although Gay Gary does sound like a super name for a comic book hero...

[twangirl]

It was Cowboy Junkies that covered "Sweet Jane"
 
 Personally, while parts of that list are pretty appalling overall, I am surprised and pleased to see PJ Harvey at number 8, she is a captivating performer and very deserving of recognition. Also The Roots certainly deserve to be on the list. I'm no hip-hop fan, but they put on a great show.
 
 I don't know how Guns 'n Roses made it on there. They haven't toured or recorded in years. That farce Axel put together last year definitely doesn't count.

Thanks Twan girl, But I was just kidding.....

 I didnt know that Mott the Hoople and Phish had covered the song as well.....

Phish played the entire Loaded album at a halloween show once.  They suck, but they have good taste.

I agree

[Bags]

Thank god I can say that I have no idea whether Phish suck or not.  Except for that one time I saw them on Saturday Night Live (an odd venue indeed).

I saw it as well..... I was thinking "why does this bunch of tossers sound so much like the greatful dead?"
 
 I had no idea who they were till after the song finished.

So from what I can tell, a couple of people who still watch Saturday Night Live don't like Phish.  Makes me like them even more.
