5 – Ice-T (as Body Count)
4 – Radiohead w/Stephen Malkmus
3 – Amon Tobin w/Bonobo
2 – Public Enemy w/Anthrax & Primus (Bring Tha Noize Tour)
1 – House of Pain w/Rage Against the Machine

Honorable mention – Division of Laura Lee (it might have been my last chance to fight Michael Stipe, and I’m still wishing I had done it that night when I had the chance. Also – great show)

2 through 5 can be shuffled a bit, but nothing beats going to see House of Pain, and having some no name group open for them, mere months before they started their rise to infamy.

What? You made me sit through New Kids on the Block and it doesn’t even get an Honourable Mention. Maybe on your next list: Top Five Sacrifices My Dad Made So I’d Turn Out To Be The Most Perfect Daughter In The World. Just sayin’.

Speaking of father-daughter bonds, howzabout Lollapalooza in Cloverdale? You. Me. Press passes. A million sweaty teens. Not a single band I recognized. It was loud. It was crowded. It was Africa-hot. But to write a He Said/She Said feature with my first-born was worth every burst eardrum.

Oh, you know

I'm too lazy to think of every show I've ever seen, so here's the 5 most fun shows I've seen since the site started… (I reserve the right to revise this list based on the results of tonight's Rakim show) 5. Nice & Smooth 4. EPMD 3. Camp Lo 2. Public Enemy 1. Anami Vice/Naughty By Nature (Naughty was even better in '09 and PE would actually be in first place had Anami's performance that night not tipped this show ahead.)
