Fix You live is unreal for sure!

It's very poignant taking into consideration the story behind it.

I believe it's been chosen as the theme music for the IPL Cricket?

I love The Charlatans, more for historic reasons really - not really enjoyed their last 3 albums, although You Cross My Path was OK (and free).

Favourite band at the moment are probably the Counting Crows - whilst they aren't that productive (6 albums or so in 15 years), they rarely produce a weak track, never mind a weak album, and are fantastic live.

Special mention to the Jayhawks too, especially as the best incarnation of the band reformed fairly recently.

Anti-Flag
ADHD
AFI
Agnostic Front

Oh by the way these are just my favourite bands that start with A next time it will be B.
