Kill me. Just…kill me. Others receiving votes: Jack Johnson, John Mayer, all country acts.

No word on Neil Diamond coming to Raleigh, though he would top this list for sure!

There…that felt better! haha

OTB & lovin’ it

That’s cruel. Some of these were great acts….50 years ago…

Cmon, Leon Russell doesn’t really belong on this list.

We will see if people are still listening to Jack Johnson 40 years from now like Leon and RIngo – I doubt it.

Patty Griffin will be a good show. Check her out on Hulu and The artists den

Taste is all relative. There are some good acts in that line up. You sound like the average Raleighite. Your taste is like the skyline here, bland. Your article is actually nauseating. Hmm, now I FEEL better.

Honestly, “Kill me. Just…kill me” approximates what I often think when I see the RSS headlines for the shows that you do promote on your blog, but I don’t feel the need to comment on the posts since I know there are a wide range of music tastes out there. (The Michael Buble post was tempting, though.) I’m not a fan of any of the above listed bands either, but I don’t think it’s very productive to put together a list of every upcoming show that you DON’T want to see. I’m sure everyone’s list would be pretty long.

Marcy Playground did Downtown Live last summer. I had only heard their hit (uh, and I can’t remember it now, but it is good), and thought they put on a good show. I am wondering how it would be @ Helios though.

Add Maureen McGovern 11/18 to this list. blech!!
