Copy the list. Remove any bands that you haven't seen live. Add an asterisk to any that are left (which you have seen). Add to the list until it reaches 25 again. The number of asterisks tells you how many people in the chain before you have also seen the band.

2. Nine Inch Nails**

I've had fun mixing them up a bit :-) Some day I should try make a list of all the people I've ever seen, as opposed to just the lists from 2005 and 2006. I have been to very few gigs this year.

Addendum: who (apart from Mike) has got the greatest crossover? Plus an actual prize to anyone who has seen Preacher Boy.

I was talking to Tony Wright on Wednesday evening as it turns out! But of these bands/artists that you list, I have seen just four.

Me too: We Are Scientists, The Broken Family Band, the Killers and the Pixies.

I expect Mike Pinna to have the biggest overlap, but that's not entirely surprising given we were at many of those gigs together. Even he won't have all of them though. An actual prize to anyone who has seen Preacher Boy.

I wouldn't have to add too many more from your list... Therapy?, Iron Maiden and The Broken Family Band. And Terrorvision possibly. I may have been drunk.

I don't believe anyone could possibly see Terrorvision and not remember. But then it's probably easier if you're enough younger than me and not a fan. But still, Terrorvision! It was their last ever tour too, wish I'd seen them sooner.

Oh and I admit I definitely made sure there was a sprinkling of the heavier rock end in there on purpose :-)
