Iconic Acts

I finally got around to seeing Bohemian Rhapsody yesterday. I don’t really care about how accurate or inaccurate it was. I enjoyed it.
I saw Queen live in 1977. I was talking to my son about all the acts I’ve seen, and Queen sure is one of the most historic.
Then I put together a bit of a list of the “most iconic” acts I’ve seen live.
My top three are Sinatra, Ray Charles, and McCartney.
Others in the next tier.
Johnny Cash
Sonny and Cher
The Stones
The Who
Elton John
Willie Nelson
The Beach Boys
U2
Paul Simon
Rush
The Eagles
Billy Joel
Tom Petty
James Taylor
Kiss
Green Day
I’m sure there are others I’m missing.
Is it clear that the three I list are my top three?
Can anyone top it?

Top three 'Iconic'... not my favorites and not in sequential order!
Prince - A meh, so so vocalist, seen much better guitarists, although he did have great stage presence and rapport.
Willie Nelson - He's down home and known all around the world.
Neil Young - Guy seems to have been around since Moses.
Bela.F, Vassar.C, and J.Hartford if listing three to meet and talk w/again.
At this moments notice - top 3Fav's to see again Grisman&Rice (when he still had a voice), SRV, and Doc Watson

For me its Metallica, GnR, Rush, Roger Waters, and Run DMC. I think those are the only HOF acts I've seen.

I’ve seen Roger Waters too. I’m kicking around the idea of GnR in Honolulu next month.

Saw it today. While I enjoyed it, I was slightly disappointed. I was expecting more music.

Pink Floyd was light years ahead with their on stage performance, light shows and graphics. They set things up for so many bands to come. They are one of, if not the most iconic band ever.

I never saw Pink Floyd.
Wish I would have.
I’ve seen Waters.
I’d rather see Gilmour

Nine Inch Nails
Like them or not, they put on quite a unique show. It's an experience.

Me as well. I love the music and have for 40 years. More of an obsession actually.
I have always been a fan, always will be but do not care for Rogers anti establishment BS and never will. He is such a prick. Have zero interest in seeing him again
If Gilmour toured again, I would be all over it.

Gregg Allman, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, and Willie Nelson. Only 30 but I’m happy to say I was able to see those guys play. Extremely happy to say I was able to see Gregg twice.
