Oh, and a music...er...poll. But not a real poll, because that would take time.

So, during a recent conversation with my sister I asked her:

"If time and space were of no concern, which two musical acts would you like to see perform in your backyard?"

(Because if time and space were of no concern of course we'd all immediately try to grab a musician, lol.)

Anyway, it brought up a sub-question; would you rather see acts you've seen already and enjoyed tremendously, or would you go for acts you've always wanted to see?

Myself, I had to give one slot to Kate Bush right off the bat. I'll never see her perform, after all, so that sealed the deal. Then I tried thinking; would I want to see Peter Gabriel again? I had to take Rush and Styx right out--I've seen both of them twice, and, much as I love them, I'm satisfied with that. And I saw Pink Floyd, though it might have been interesting to see their original lineup. Perhaps Genesis, with Peter Gabriel? Or Tori, with her band (I am not into the solo girl-with-piano tours, I have to admit)? Or perhaps TMBG...or Bruce Springsteen, pre-Born in the USA...it's tough to pick!

I keep going back to Tori, but I've already seen her twice (and will see her again in October) so it seems almost silly to do that; plus a lot of her live stuff is available.

Hmm. It might have to be Pink Floyd, performing Atom Heart Mother.

So tell me, flist, which two acts would you have to see?

I saw Howard Jones something like five times in concert. (I can't remember exactly *headdesk* but it was at least five.) I had such a crush on him! :-P The B's were really fun - they had to tell everyone to stop jumping so much because the hall was literally shaking, and I guess someone was afraid the architecture wouldn't hold up. :-P

Hmmm, which era... I can't decide! When I was young I loved their early stuff - it was so easy to sing along to even when I was three and four. (I loved Yellow Submarine and I Want to Hold Your Hand!) If I have to pick one year, I'd probably say 1967 - Magical Mystery Tour and Sgt Pepper.

Howard Jones is such an incredible talent. I love his music. I love him, and Thomas Dolby as well.

I used to sing Yellow Submarine all the time when I was a kid. I nearly wore out Revolver, heh.
