I've been to Marc Anthony but it wasn't for me I swear! :blush:
He was good
My first concert was in 1990, and it was the New Kids on the Block ;D . At the tender age of 12, I thought they were amazing!
Since then I have seen:
LL Cool J
Run DMC
Naughty by Nature
Dave Matthews (a number of times)
Esthero
Bright Eyes
The Faint
Coheed and Cambria (will be seeing them again tomorrow night)
The Supersuckers
Muse
The Frames
I enjoyed all of these concerts. I'll think of more as they come to me.
Janet Jackson (won a contest at my elem. school and got 3 free tickets; great concert with elaborate costumes)
Dru Hill and Immature (in, Florida,fine; just ok)
Tha Alkaholics (rowdy college crowd at UCSB)
MTV TRL Tour(the now defunct group Dream performed, as well as Destiny's Child(was able to interview D.Child!), Eve, and quite a few others : was a lot of fun to interview Destinys Child and have front row seats and free tickets to write a story for the local newspaper. Everyone was pretty good live, esp. D. Child although Dream, not so much
100.3 the Beat Summer Jam: a plethora of Hip Hop and R and B artists (there were at least 30 acts there and it was just a whirlwinf trying to keep up and it was in Irvine in a big arena so not very cozy)
Regina Spektor (twice; once in San Diego House of Blues, once in Hollywood. Phenomenal performance in Hollywood; a bit too 'professional' in SD)
Outkast (the most fun of them all; they are great live and have amazing energy and can rock a crowd)
Toto (in Vegas, at a very old-style hotel on the outer limits of Vegas with a very,um, interesting crowd but they have pretty good music and was able to meet them afterwards, which was fun)
Gwen Stefani (Great live singing voice and energy; 2nd fave)
Justin Timberlake and the Black Eyed Peas in Paris (in a huge arena with horrible seats so one of my least fave concerts although I like both groups' music.)
Actually, I just remembered... I also saw B.B. King in concert. He was so animated and put on such a great show! ;D
I went to look at my box of ticket stubs... I don't have as many as I'd like to though, I didn't really start going to concerts until 2002. Sigh. But now I'm a concert junkie, so I go to shows all the time!! :D

Went to Garth Brooks concert last night....(it was one of the best concerts I have ever been to) Trisha Yearwood opened for him!! It was great!!
Not only will this date me, but it will reveal all the teeny-bopper taste in music that I have. Still, I wanna contribute, so here goes:
-Backstreet Boys: Like 4 or 5 times. They put on a good show and they sound amazing live. Always an entertaining show.
-N'Sync: During the Pop Odessey tour. Lots of lights and pyro. Good vocals. Flashy coreography. I want them to get back together.
-B2K: I saw them twice. Actually, I went to the very last show they did before they broke up. They were okay live.
-Scream Tour 3, 4, and 5: The show itself was good, but I think it was because a combination of all the acts.
-Eminem/50 Cent: I saw him and 50 during the last Anger Management Tour. 50 was better than I thought he would be; he gives his all on stage and is very interactive. Eminem was good; very serious about what he does.
-Chris Brown/Neyo: Neyo was pretty good, but Chris Brown was excellent. Good vacals, great dancing, talked to the crowd. He gets extra brownie points with me because he did a medley of Michael Jackson songs and he sang "Rock With You", my absolute favorite MJ song.
-Justin Timberlake: I saw him when he rolled through town in Febuary. EXCELLENT! Worth the $80. I can not wait until the Live DVD comes out.
My very first concert: Up With People
I thought it was neato-keeno back then. I was all of 6 I think.
Lemme see:
Eminem
Busta Rhymes (energetic and amazing)
Lo Fidelity All-Stars

loads of HFStivals - they had tons of alternative artists on both the big and small stages, plus the dj tent
lots of local college bands
tons more dj's from a buncha raves
This is all I can remember for now.
On my wishlist to see:
