I'll show you my list if you show me yours
If I had to guess I would estimate the number of bands/live shows I attend a year to be between 100-200. (Adding in SxSW and other festivals and it'll quickly become obvious that I'm not really out every night of the week taking in live music.) I've been pretty lucky over the years to take in bask in the glow of some legendary performances & artists. Despite this, there does exist a list of people I'd give a kidney to see...

Damn lady. It seems you could still be in luck with some of those. Out of your whole list, I've seen:
Pet Shop Boys, twice.
Bart Davenport, twice.
Donovan, once.
Fancey, heh heh.
Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, twice, but more coming.
Squeeze, oh my, 4 times?
Mew, twice!
The Smiths, twice, thanks NYC!
Tahiti 80, once.
Holiday, really wanna know?
The Zombies, in 2000, wasn't what you wanted it to be.
What I'm sayin', you got a good crack at a handful of those. Esp. Mew and Radio Dept. If you're in the game long enough, you'll go. You're way too into the music to miss this now.

as you already know, i'm hoping to knock mew off this list by the end of the year.
what was wrong with the zombies in 2000?
