fantomas s/t

sorry no dead artists allowed- the dead can't sing, dance, hit drums or play guitar very well

  Was gonna put that too. Seeing David Byrne at The Barbican soon. He played four tracks off RiL when I last saw him and they sounded great.

As an idea

I'd like to see The Velvet Underground reform and perform the Andy Warhol album. Nico's parts on the 3 songs could be done by say...Patti Smith, Marianne Faithfull and Diamanda Galas. I'd pay for that.

    - Serious answer:
      
      probably "Brighten The Corners" by Pavement. And before people start saying "Blah-de-Blah Watsit is their magnum opus, n00b", that was the album I got first. It'd be like watching a gig in the company of 16-year-old me.

I agree with Oh, Hissing Fauna, are you the destroyer?

It works as a concept album what with his mind going from bad to good through the album, in simple terms, which would be wicked to hear live.
