Going solely on value for money, I would say the best one I saw was James Brown, and the worst was a lazy performance by oasis

[bongerman]

in no particular order...

U2

Madonna

Pulp

Robbie

Bowie.

All the above add to the music and put effort into their act, unlike a lot of other singers/groups who just sing their latest album at you.

Top 4 have been

U2 (in Miami, awesome)

Robbie Williams (all round entertainment 110%)

Everly Brothers (surprisingly good!)

Coldplay (just before they got huuuuge, mesmerising)

can't decide who was next best so i'll go to worst...

Ash (used to really like them and looked forward to this gig so much as it was close to home and a relatively small location but the acoustics in the room were shocking and the sound just bounced around the room so you couldn't really hear what was going on)

Yea there a Lahore based band, although theve broken up cause of racial differences their albums still sell. There called the U2 of pakistan, although im not too sure of that. They've done a few collaborations with well known artists like Bono - David Bowie - Santana etc.

They make all sorts of music i.e Rock - Pop - Indie - romantic.
