Not been around in a while, thoguh have been enjoying the Breakfast and Kung Fu shows put up on the archive and still live in hope of a European tour by Tim and the boys.
Anyway, couldn\'t not post to this thread and give a token representation from ol\' Blighty.
Greatest Band = Beatles. No competition. No discussion nor justification needed.
Greatest Live Band = Grateful Dead (and I never even saw them)
Greatest Band of the 80s AND 90s = Phish
Best Live Band I\'ve Ever Seen (and who produce damn good albums too) = Gandalf Murphy & the Slambovian Circus of Dreams (and they are also running a close second in my next category, which is why I\'ve seen them 17 times in 2.5 years, which for a band based in NY is probably slightly excessive, even if they do come here twice a year.)
Favourite Band of All Time = Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship (And no, I don\'t include We Built This City era Starship, but I do include JS2000 and beyond, though I still prefer the Diana era to the current Cathy period.)
The Breakfast still features in my top 5 in all categories, alongside, depending on the category, bands like The Doors, Stackridge, Love, Strawbs, Pretty Things, Fairport Convention, Genesis and Umphreys, (Have I ever not been eclectic in my tastes?) though truth be told, the Circus aside, I tend to listen to more acoustic stuff these days like Andy McKee, Pierre Bensusan, Laurence Juber and the like.
