I'm shocked The Hives haven't made anyone's list. When they came a few years back after the Black and White Album they blew the doors off of Mac Hall Ballroom. Hands down the best show I've ever seen. These dudes are the epitome of showmanship. When they did the full minute pause during "You Dress up for Armageddon", stood perfectly still the whole time and then brought the hammer down, everyone went nuts. If you ever get a chance to see these guys live, treat yourself.
