Of all time, it would have to be Nirvana. No other band has impacted me as emotionally. Nevermind came out when I was 13 and it was the first CD I ever owned. I was deep in the teenage angst stage when In Utero landed, which was rather apt. Then I had a cassette I tapped off of MTV with unplugged on one side and Live and Loud on the other which I played all the time until he died. It was hard to listen toto after that, but then they released unplugged on CD which is still a favourite.
Of course there’s countless other bands I love, bands that are way more technically proficient, bands that use electronics and stage craft. I’ve an eclectic taste and Nirvana are certainly more mainstream and successful than most of what I listen to these days, but if I could go back in time and watch any band live it would be them.
