I'm sure he may well be. If only there were a heaven ... rats.

That said, knowing John, he'd be listening to obscure albums and probably still Yoko's ... whatever she makes nowadays anyways.

Massive Attack. Recently went to their show, and tears fell off my face more than once.

The Vaccines is one of the best live acts I've seen live, they just deliver a perfect quality show with high audience involvement. In a Mexico gig, one of the songs had to be stopped because the audience was so loud, people were incredibly engaged.

I honestly thought you and the other poster were joking when you said the vaccines. I've always thought of them as mediocre musicians, lacking charisma and just being a dull generic indie band. I really liked them when they first came out because a few of their songs are quite punky, ramones influenced stuff. But the rest of it is just a bit bland.

I was meant to see them live a few years ago when they were starting out along with crystal castles and everything everything but we showed up late and missed the one act we were mainly going there to see.

Been thinking about it and in my opinion, the best live act around at the moment is Frank Turner. He'll make you laugh, cry, sing, dance, do jumping jacks and feel alive in just one show. His level of showmanship and connection with the audience is second to none right now. He and his band are also incredibly tight musically, and he always has a great crowd.

Yeah they were really good live, pure energy thrown into the crowd with some more poignant moments - they were great both times I saw them.

They're much more to me but w/e, either way they're incredibly lively at live shows.

I could name a bunch of them. Frank Turner, Arcade Fire, Biffy Clyro, Green Day, Manic Street Preachers, The Libertines, Foo Fighters, Kasabian, Queens of the Stone Age, The Vaccines and Muse off the top of my head.

You've seen 2/11 named there

Weird, I thought the exact opposite. My least favourite gig, honestly.
