Loved them, would have liked to have seen them.
I watch Back to School whenever it comes on mostly for the music which was Oingo Boingo/Danny Elfman.

I'll include some jazz artist but leave out the other genres.
Stones (It's a Beautiful Day, Tina Turner...?)
Cream
Hendricks
Klemmer
Mayall
Krall
Zappa
Sha Na Na (before they were big)
Santana
Rascals
Hellecasters
Gypsy Kings
Chris Isaak
There's a lot more but too many years, too many venues -- large and small -- have blurred the memory.

The one U.S. band I saw live were Mountain ( guess nobody remembers them) .................. and they simply blew me away, as frankly I expected them to !
I travelled over to England ( from Ireland) 'specially to see them.
I loved Mountain then, and I love them just as much now 40 years on. 
(They were also the LOUDEST band I ever heard live.).
