Top 500 Musical Groups/Artists of Alltime

Top 500 Rock Bands isn't 100% accurate as this includes solo artists, and though it does not include jazz or blues it does include soul, R&B, Americana, reggae, and classic country (yes, that is somewhat arbitrary, but for whatever reason i listen to blues and jazz differently than the rest, and would be too hard to compare Miles or Ornette or Hooker to, say, Aerosmith). Criteria for my greatest bands of all time list is a combination of recorded albums, live shows I've seen, live recordings I've heard, radio songs, and even overall image/album covers/general coolness or uniqueness. I guess that was a way of trying to explain that the ranking is just a gut feeling. But it's probably about 50% based on "live chops", hence the lower ranking of the Beatles, who quit playing live before the most creative parts of their career. I am very into live shows and live recordings.
Obviously, this list will change over time. I'm adding commentary to items whenever i get a spare minute or something interesting comes to mind about a band, probably 10-20 entries a month.

Bands that have rocked my face off or at least played well or poorly enough that I'm capable of remembering having seen them.

2009 ACL Lineup: Bands that Played Austin City Limits 2009

Austin City Limits Music Festival 2009! Last year's ACL was a blast. What a fantastic event! Great musicians...what a lineup ACL 2009 had! The ACL Music Fest took place in October for the first time due to increased chance of rain, and the reduced chance of booking bands on summer tour said to be due to the UT football weekends. But something as great as ACL 2009, lineup that amazing, could only happen in Austin, Texas- such organized chaos with the rain and relentless mud!

2008 Bonnaroo Review (sorta - mostly just rankings). 2008 was one of the alltime best Bonnaroos - huge headliner firepower, 2 days of Phil, and much more.
Ranked in order of awesomeness.
