I updated my original list. I'll be seeing Ours for the 6th time in July and just purchased tickets to see Muse for the 1st time in August. I actually could have seen Muse before Absolution came out at a club in Providence down the street that holds less than 200 people, but I ended up not being able to go

It would take me too long to type it all out and I am lazy at this point of the night. But for fun, I left all the bands from your post that I've seen (several more than once actually). (I don't know if Strike Everywhere is a smaller band your mentioning, but if you meant Strike Anywhere, I have.)

Eh, here's a few more of the favorites (off the top of my head):
Dillinger Four
The Lawrence Arms
Alkaline Trio
A Radio With Guts
None More Black
Latterman
Hot Water Music
Bear vs. Shark

Latterman! I've seen them, they're an adjacent town to where I live. Their first album is great.

[perforatededge54]

Oh and I've seen:

The Decemberists a few times
Death Cab
Weezer
311
Pete Francis
State Radio
Braddigan
Dispatch
Piebald

[hot_corner_gurl]

Call me crazy, but the only concert that I've ever been to, and I mean EVER, was a Kelly Clarkson concert. Depressing, I know.

[brewersfan19]

James Taylor, nice!!! I like him too!

[rockin500]

best places to see bands, IMO are in smaller venues, either in clubs or ballrooms. Much more intimate than arenas or big ampitheaters.

do yourselves a favor and go see a blues band. thats the good stuff.

[ghettochild]

ay, live blues is the shit. i try and make it out once a month to see a blues show.

and jazz too. my guilty pleasures lol.

[Providence A's]

I just ordered tickets to see Interpol in Boston. The Cure tickets haven't gone on sale yet, but if the prices are crazy I may not go. The National are playing Boston in October and I'm going to try to get tickets. The Arcade Fire are touring with LCD Soundsystem this fall, but they've only announced two of the dates. I might try to get tickets if they come to Boston as long as it's not the Orpheum again.
