That's a tough one. 5 best is unfair, in that I enjoy a multiple Genre of music. From the Rolling Stones( multiple shows from 1969 to late 80's, as I now find them boring, since I've heard each and every riff, over, and over again for the one millionunt times ), Bob Marley @ The Paramount, Jimi Hendrix -Norman Oklahoma, Miles Davis, Jefferson Airplane, Iggy Popp, The Ramones, Elton John, Deva Premal, Mahalya Jackson, Diana Ross & The Supremes, 4 Tops, The Pretenders, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Mudhoney, Santana, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Black Flag, Refuzors, Van Halen, Moody Blues, Who-Clash, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Alice In Chains, Steve Miller(BTW, my neighbor when I lived in Madina), Blondie, Third World, Inner Circle, Garbage, New York Dolls, Go Go's, James Browns, Howling Wolf, Johnny Cash,( even have some of his Jamaica style reggae collaborations from when he lived outside Montego Bay), Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry(Bumbershoot 1980), and many many more. I was in the business for years and got to see many artist and their concerts. A huge number of the shows I attended included a backstage pass and tour member's T shirt.

After experiencing each and every one of those shows, how is it possible that I can now decide which is my best 5? It's impossible! Although many were way over to top and my enjoyment meter quit registering, they all were different, and I wouldn't pick one over the other. I needed each experience in developing my appreciation for all music. I now listen mostly to Reggae, Smooth Jazz, Yoga or New Age techno stuff. Not as toxic as I use to be I guess. BTW, check out some of Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders) new stuff Moodfood by Moodswings. Awesome! Seems she's evolving as well.
