The Independent pick top 10 venues - what're yours?
disnews by DiS News May 4th, 2005
Broadsheets do a venue list...

The Independent have produced a list of the ten best rock music venues... strange of 'em to say some of these are 'rock' but Eden Project certainly is beautiful and home annually to a hand-full of shows as part of the Eden Sessions, but is it the best venue?

1. Eden Project
2. Glasgow Barrowlands
3. Sheffield Leadmill
4. Belfast Limelight
5. London Bush Hall
6. Manchester Apollo
7. Nottingham Rock City
8. Leeds Cockpit
9. London Astoria
10. London Somerset House

DiScuss: Have you never seen a "rock" gig at half of these? What REALLY is the best rock venue in the country? And why? What makes a great venue?
