That's surprising Chop - we've caught 12-15 concerts a year for decades and have seen U2 several times over the years. Their shows have been some of the best of them all. Different strokes I guess...Disappointing Live Stage Shows (I expected much better):
U2
Alabama
Pink FloydBands that changed the direction of the music world:
Elvis
The Beach Boys
The Beatles
David Bowie
The Ramones
The Eagles
Van Halen (don't laugh--disco might still be dominant without them and those who followed...)
Nirvana
Foo Fighters

"Manilow began work as a commercial jingle writer and singer, which continued through the remainder of the 1960s. He performed many of the TV jingles that he composed, including State Farm Insurance ("Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there") or Band-Aid ("I am stuck on Band-Aid, 'cause Band-Aid's stuck on me!"), for which he adopted a childlike voice and wrote the music (Donald B Wood wrote the lyrics). His singing-only credits include commercials for Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pepsi ("all across the nation, it's the Pepsi Generation"), McDonald's ("you deserve a break today")"Barry Manilow

I bet John Lennon and Kurt Cobain never did that.
You have never left the 70’s, have you?The 1970s were the bottom valley of decadence, debauchery, and abuse of mind-altering substances. The 80's, 90's and post 2000s have been clean-cut in comparison.
I found it true that folks who became famous was no accident - they often had the underlying skills to be good at something not 100% related for what they are famous for.Waaayyy more than I wanted to know about Barry Manilow but I clicked into here didn't I
How would you rank Ginger Baker among Rock's top all-time drummers?Best I ever saw was Cream's farewell tour
How would you rank Ginger Baker among Rock's top all-time drummers?
I'm not a drummer, so I'm not really qualified to say who's best...but, I like Peart the best. Bonham's drumming on Fool in the Rain is most impressive.I know you asked Sabre and I'm curious to hear his thoughts, but I'd say Baker was certainly Top 10, approaching Top 5. I'd put Keith Moon and Neil Peart above him, and probably John Bonham.
