In the 90's I saw Tower of Power, BB King, Blast! and Riverdance. All were awesome shows.
Probably performed thousands of gigs throughout the 80's, even worked with a couple of celebrities on stage, like Richard Simmons and Barbara Mandrell. To this day I still have a really eclectic taste, always looking for the unusual, off the beaten path; from soothing New Age to Celtic and even the occasional heavy metal. (Favorite artists: David Arkenstone, Andreas Vollenweider, Enya, Loreena McKennitt, Faun, Mannheim Steamroller, Two Steps From Hell.) :-)

In my record store in the 80's we played the usual rock that was current Def Leppard, Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, U2, REM, Pink Floyd and whatever else was current. Sometimes I would put on Pat Metheny on the store speakers whenever I felt the time was right. Before I did, I always made sure we had at least 2 or 3 copies in stock, because people would come over and say, who is that, and they all sell?
