I thought this was interesting in one of those "Facebook list making exercise" ways...NPR's Bob Boilen was challenged by a friend to list 50 bands he'd seen. In that list, he only included bands he's seen as a fan, not ones he's covered. He made it to 101 before giving up. He then asked readers of the All Songs Considered blog to write a comment and include their lists. I made it 70 before I ran out of space, so I decided to expand upon that list here, and ask readers to make their lists, as well.

My list (in no particular order)
