I'm only doing nine. I have 10 but I want to do nine

Would that have anything to do with the title of a popular Damien Rice album?

I've been getting into Felice Brothers lately, but am in a bit of a dilemma. Felice Borthers and Lucero are playing at the same venue in a couple of months in the same weekend, but Dad says we can only go to one. I've already seen Lucero live recently but the opening band is also one of my favourite bands. So I don't know who to pick.

Oh yeah and Westfall by Okkervil River is one of my favourite songs.

I saw The Felice Bros maybe 5-6 years ago. Not a huge fan, but they were pretty fun live.

Well my Last.fm account currently tells me these are my top 10, but I wouldn't say that it's entirely accurate:

1. Bloc Party
2. The Gaslight Anthem
3. Rise Against
4. The Wonder Years
5. Foals
6. Radiohead
7. Death From Above 1979
8. Death Cab For Cutie
9. Does It Offend You, Yeah?
10. Arcade Fire

But then my Last.fm account really isn't a true indication of what I listen to and how much. I listen a shitload in my car as well as listening to vinyl.

IDK, the felice brother's aren't touring with simone anymore. So I can't answer that, I saw them with Bright Eyes a few years back and they were so much fun! but that new album freaking sucks!

I can't possibly rank them correctly in order but my top 10 are something like this:

The Beatles
The Gaslight Anthem
Bruce Springsteen
Bob Dylan
The Replacements
Simon and Garfunkel
The Cure
The Smiths
The Clash
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds/Grinderman
