I went to many concerts from the early 80's to the mid-late 90's then that Seattle bullsh!t happened and rock music went to Hell. Personally, I like listening to "Hair Nation"/"Big Hair," Classic Rock, Southern Rock, and [believe it or not] some Disco. Absolutely, No rap!!!

Lucky to see Bowie at Fox Theatre in STL, with Stereophonics opening, Intimate show in great venue. Kinda envious that son was a regular there until his first child was born.
But, geez, It's an impossible task to rate concerts
