There are a couple on there that have eluded me over the years. I would love to see Tom Waits and Rage Against the Machine.

I can hear all the phishheads justifying phish in their heads right now and thinking "they don't know what they're talking about, fucking phish rules". That's what I did.

The inclusion of Tom Waits makes this list highly suspect. The guy hasn't done a proper tour since 2008.
