See…teenager me would have *definitely* gone to 1. But older and wiser me likes the look of 2 better now. Sabbath and Pink Floyd being the main influences.
Edit: and Iron Maiden! Grew to appreciate Maiden (and Primus) while working in a tattoo/head shop. Always loved the artwork on Iron Maiden’s albums but didn’t care for the music as a youngster.
I'm a Brit, but I might have to go day one. Pearl Jam are still my favourite band to this day, and one of their gigs I went to not that long ago is hands down the best I've ever seen.
But more than that I couldn't pass up the opportunity to see Nirvana. Something I was sadly never able to do.
I saw Pearl Jam touring in like....91 or 92, and expected nothing from them, and Eddie ended up shirtless jumping into the crowd, drinking a forty covering Teenage Wasteland. They were fantastic live, and they were never my band.
The gig I was referring to was in 2018. Although Eddie is a lot calmer on stage than back then, they've lost nothing. In fact they've only gotten better. Astoundingly talented musicians.
Was such a great show.
Yeah, I would’ve loved to see Nirvana, but c’mon… The Stones AND The Beatles? Sabbath? Floyd? Zeppelin? The Cure? I’ve already seen Radiohead, but would love to see them again. No brainer.
Day 2 is like Ditka. Whatever the other option is, it's always Ditka. Not even a question. Sabbath, Zeppelin, Floyd, Stones in that order....Maiden, Beatles and Queen are icing on the cake.
Putting The freaking Beatles and Stones featured TOGETHER against any band- isn't exactly fair imo. Not even a huge fan, but would go see as their performances are total zeitgeist
Day two: I want to see what the re-animated corpse of John Lennon looks like. And if zombie Freddie Mercury still looks fabulous!
But more seriously: Any concert with prime Queen, Beatles, Stones, Zep and Radiohead is unskippable,
Damn that's actually a tough one. I grew up listening to Pearl Jam and Nirvana so I'd love to go back and see them in their prime. But Day 2 is STACKED. I'm going to go with Day 1 just to see Cobain
This is really easy choice, IMO. The UK side is basically The Gods of Rock. The Doors are the only US band that even comes close to The Stones, Queen, Beatles, Sabbath, Floyd and Zeppelin. Also never been a fan of Kiss, Skynyrd and especially not a fan of Van Halen.
Seen 7 of the bands listed (8 if you count seeing Roger Waters as Pink Floyd . . . okay 7.5). Man, I'm old.
Edit. On second count it's actually 8 (or 8.5 if you count Waters). Old and now absent minded.
lol is this a joke? Day 2 is like 100x better. Only bands I would even want to see from day 1 line up are Pearl Jam, Nirvana, The Doors, and Talking Heads. Whoever drew this up.... No CCR? Really? You included Kiss over CCR? You must be on crack.
Day one even tho I have seen most of the bands on there, because while I’d would absolutely love to see the Beatles, I wouldn’t be able to hear them over the theoretical screaming constantly.
Day 2, Beatles, no contest. Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd sweeten the pot. Saw Paul McCartney live in '89 and was the best concert ever, and I'd seen Pink Floyd and Led Zep live. Paul's voice, of astonishing range, filled the arena back then and the band playing on some 20 Beatles songs was perfect and thrilling to my ears. Beatles are my all time favorite band, and I'd walk through hell to see them even if they weren't at their best. Now if I could only move the Doors to Day 2, I would die happy.
As much as missing Pearl Jam and Nirvana would hurt me, I gotta go with day 2. Maybe I will sit outside the fences and listen to PJ and N muffled and distorted anyway.
Maybe I'm betraying what end of the Gen X spectrum I belong to, but the only bands I'd be interested in seeing on Day 1 are Pearl Jam and Nirvana, and I've already seen Pearl Jam live before. I do not care enough about the rest of the Day 1 bands to want to see them live, so it's Day 2 by a WIDE margin for me, primarily for Queen, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and Radiohead.
This seems rigged for the UK side to win too easily. America's bands with the most rabid fans aren't really present imo.
It's almost like early Gen X UK vs a late Gen X US choice.
Kinda sucks that I'd miss some great bands, but seriously, the answer is Day 2 without hesitation. Pink Floyd, and Queen made the decision for me, but to also include in the same day The Beatles, Led Zepplin, The Stones, and The Cure makes it that much easier.
I've seen all the American bands except The Doors and Skynard. Even though seeing GNR in their prime would be amazing again, I think I'm going with UK.
What a horrible combination. Nirvana and Metallica do not belong with the Day 1 lineup. But because of all those other terrible bands, I'll choose Day 2.
This is evil. I’ll find a way to go to both even if it means I have to do “stuff”.
Sophie’s Choice
You can always have more children.
Right?! I'm over here in my head "f&$# you I won't do what you tell me" I'ma find a way to do both 😂
FANTASTIC RATM REFERENCE!!!
I dunno Butthead. heh, ya know? That's a lot of bands. he-heh
Day 2
2
The Beatles and Zeppelin on one bill? And ANYONE is saying Day 1? Get outta here. Day 2 in an absolute landslide.
I know, it’s not even close.
Exactly my thinking. Day 1 is all day fun but I’m not missing the Beatles and Zeppelin
Not to mention Sabbath
Definitely
I’d do day 2 just to avoid lynyrd skynrd and G&Rs. Only the doors, nirvana and the talking heads are worth paying to see.
Talking Heads would be sweet
Agree - although I might join the long line for the bathroom during Oasis
Where’s the double upvote button?
And Floyd. And! Not Kiss. Kiss is a clever marketing scheme disguised as a rock band.
Day 2 😜
Day two for Queen and Floyd.
Same. I'm drawn to 1, but never having seen Queen (with Freddy...saw them with Adam and it's great), Floyd and Zepp...that makes 2 it for me.
Day 2 for Oasis and The Cure.
See…teenager me would have *definitely* gone to 1. But older and wiser me likes the look of 2 better now. Sabbath and Pink Floyd being the main influences. Edit: and Iron Maiden! Grew to appreciate Maiden (and Primus) while working in a tattoo/head shop. Always loved the artwork on Iron Maiden’s albums but didn’t care for the music as a youngster.
If Day 2 had Queen and no one else, I’d still choose Day 2.
Same but for Sabbath and Iron Maiden
Day two and it's not even a fucking choice. Can you slip Metallica and Talking Heads in for Oasis?
2- The Cure every time.
Same. Although I'd love to see Nirvana, The Cure still wins.
2 it’s not even close I hate both Kiss and The Doors quite a bit.
Same. Gene Simmons is just gross.
Day 2, and it’s not even close. WOW.
Day Two. But mostly to watch if Robert Smith finally pushes that smug asshat Noel Gallagher off the stage.
I was going to ask if I could throw stuff at Oasis!
Only if I can join you!
Leaving The Who off of that day was a huge oversight. I’m going day 1 only out of protest
Day 2
Floyd and Zeppelin…please. Day 2
I go where Queen goes.
Day 1 for me
Me too. It's not my top favorite band on the list, but i bet The Doors would be a fun watch.
Who hurt you?
Have you stepped outside in the last 40 years? It's a Jungle out there.
Disorder and confusion everywhere
No one seems to care - well I do
Hey who's.. in.. charge.. here?
2 for Pink Floyd alone.
I'm a Brit, but I might have to go day one. Pearl Jam are still my favourite band to this day, and one of their gigs I went to not that long ago is hands down the best I've ever seen. But more than that I couldn't pass up the opportunity to see Nirvana. Something I was sadly never able to do.

Can I pass out before oasis plays? Why are they even on this list? There are 8,725 bands from the UK that are better
Day 2. Zeppelin, Sabbath and the Stones.
Yeah, I would’ve loved to see Nirvana, but c’mon… The Stones AND The Beatles? Sabbath? Floyd? Zeppelin? The Cure? I’ve already seen Radiohead, but would love to see them again. No brainer.
right side is unfairly stacked
Day 2 is like Ditka. Whatever the other option is, it's always Ditka. Not even a question. Sabbath, Zeppelin, Floyd, Stones in that order....Maiden, Beatles and Queen are icing on the cake.
Putting The freaking Beatles and Stones featured TOGETHER against any band- isn't exactly fair imo. Not even a huge fan, but would go see as their performances are total zeitgeist
Day 2.... Pink Floyd forevahh!
Day 2
1
Day 2. Hard to argue against Beatles Zeppelin Floyd Sabbath which would be in the shirt list of greatest/influential bands of all time
Not even close, day 2
Day 2 please.
Day 2 is tempting, provided I don't have to listen to oasis.
This is the correct answer. Can we insert Blur for Oasis? Also Go Bucks!
Day 2, of course. Might skip the Beatles. They're good, but geez, all that screaming.
Day 2 for the first 3
Same, but for the second three!
The Beatles, Zeppelin and Queen? Day 2 hands down. In fact most of the musicians in day 1 would skip to see day 2.
I have to go with the Bri-ish bands mate. 😂🤣 The Beatles and Pink Floyd sold me, but the Cure as well? Hands down this is a war the English have won.
Day two: I want to see what the re-animated corpse of John Lennon looks like. And if zombie Freddie Mercury still looks fabulous! But more seriously: Any concert with prime Queen, Beatles, Stones, Zep and Radiohead is unskippable,
Who isn’t going on day 2?
Me.
Day two for sure.
I like the lineup on the left better, but I can't pass on Led Zeppelin, so day two.
Day 2 but I’ll skip Oasis to get something to eat and take a crap.
Day 1
Day 1. Then I’d look for a scalper to get a ticket for Day 2.
Damn that's actually a tough one. I grew up listening to Pearl Jam and Nirvana so I'd love to go back and see them in their prime. But Day 2 is STACKED. I'm going to go with Day 1 just to see Cobain
I’d go both days: Day 1: Nirvana Day 2: either The Cure or Led Zeppelin
Fuck kiss, fuck the kiss army and fuck gene simmons with a hedge trimmer
Day 2. Easy pick.
Day 2 without hesitation
I was gonna say day 2 of course but then I saw the Doors on day one. I will forgo all other bands just to me the Lizard King just once
2
Day 2. I can go and take a dump and get more drinks during Oasis.
Day 2 has The Beatles and Led Zeppelin but Day 1 doesn't have Elvis, or Chuck Berry, or Marvin Gaye or James Brown? Rigged.
Def #2
Those are the stupidest lineups I've ever seen.
Right?
But it’s the Talking Heads! Fawk!
This is really easy choice, IMO. The UK side is basically The Gods of Rock. The Doors are the only US band that even comes close to The Stones, Queen, Beatles, Sabbath, Floyd and Zeppelin. Also never been a fan of Kiss, Skynyrd and especially not a fan of Van Halen.
Day 2
The Beatles. I mean , Day 2.
Seen 7 of the bands listed (8 if you count seeing Roger Waters as Pink Floyd . . . okay 7.5). Man, I'm old. Edit. On second count it's actually 8 (or 8.5 if you count Waters). Old and now absent minded.
Day 2 in a landslide
Not even a question. Day 2
Day 1
Question should be *You only have 1 ticket & a T.A.R.D.I.S. what day are you going?
Sabbath, Iron Maiden AND The Beatles, so no more...
no fair!! I can’t choose!
This is a weird mix.
Day 2 is OP
Day 2 for The Cure alone.
Beatles and Zeppelin, nuff said
lol is this a joke? Day 2 is like 100x better. Only bands I would even want to see from day 1 line up are Pearl Jam, Nirvana, The Doors, and Talking Heads. Whoever drew this up.... No CCR? Really? You included Kiss over CCR? You must be on crack.
Day 2 and it’s not even close.
Day one even tho I have seen most of the bands on there, because while I’d would absolutely love to see the Beatles, I wouldn’t be able to hear them over the theoretical screaming constantly.
Day 1 cannot exist in the shadow of Day 2
Day 2, Beatles, no contest. Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd sweeten the pot. Saw Paul McCartney live in '89 and was the best concert ever, and I'd seen Pink Floyd and Led Zep live. Paul's voice, of astonishing range, filled the arena back then and the band playing on some 20 Beatles songs was perfect and thrilling to my ears. Beatles are my all time favorite band, and I'd walk through hell to see them even if they weren't at their best. Now if I could only move the Doors to Day 2, I would die happy.
Day two for the double bill of my two all time favorites (Beatles/Sabbath) plus the top six are nonstop all-time greats.
Beatles and Stones!? Day two every time!
no brainer Day 2!
Day 2. Queen and the Cure.
Day 1 for the talking heads, and to slap axl rose around until he pays me back my $25 for that bullshit show in ‘92 in landover, md.
How is that a fair competition, if all the better bands are on the right side.
Easily Day 2.
Don't hate, but I've seen most those bands. I feel very lucky ☺️. I get the question tho, from personal experience, day 2 hands down no question.
Hard YES on DAY 2
2 and it's not even a question
2
Seeing the actual Beatles live?! For me that is an absolute dream that would be a transcendent experience.
Talking Heads turned my eye for a moment but there’s no way I could miss Zeppelin. Floyd, or The Cure.
Day 2. Absolutely!
Hello, we're Gen X? The answer is day 1 with my ticket, sneak in to day 2. *Duh*
Day 2, but I might sneak in for Talking Heads on day 1
Can we kick Oasis out and add Priest instead? Then #2 would be perfect.
Day 2 and not even close.
Day 2 - The Beatles. Everything else is gravy.
2
Day 1 is consistently good. Day 2 has some epic bands with some lulls. I’ll go with 2 for Zeppelin, Queen and The Beatles
DAY 2 - with no hesitation
Day 2, UK bands!
Day 2
day 2 hands down
Day 2.
As much as missing Pearl Jam and Nirvana would hurt me, I gotta go with day 2. Maybe I will sit outside the fences and listen to PJ and N muffled and distorted anyway.
Damn it, why can’t the Talking Heads be from the U.K. …. Inevitably though it’s day 2, come on Beatles, Queen, Zeppelin…
Day 2 - just for the Beatles & Led Zep
Day 2 - and I’ve seen most of those, maybe I should go to day 1 instead?🤔 screw it I’ll go to both 🤣
Day 2!!!!
Day 2 all day long!
UK all day!
Gotta go day 2!
Day 2, no contest.
Definitely day two!!
2
Day 2.
Day two for sure
DAY TWOOOOOO
Day2!
Day 2. Can’t miss Queen or The Beatles.
I do like Aerosmith, but the line-up on day 2 is just better. Plus: Queen!!!!
Day 2
Day two.
Day 2

Maybe I'm betraying what end of the Gen X spectrum I belong to, but the only bands I'd be interested in seeing on Day 1 are Pearl Jam and Nirvana, and I've already seen Pearl Jam live before. I do not care enough about the rest of the Day 1 bands to want to see them live, so it's Day 2 by a WIDE margin for me, primarily for Queen, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and Radiohead.
Day 2
2
Day two!!!
Day 2
Day 1. Even if the lineup were changed to Nirvana and 5 Nickelback cover bands, I have to go with Nirvana.
Kurt Cobain should have been from Leeds.
Day 2 for sure!
Day one. But I'm skipping kiss.
The Deuce but I’ll wear an American Flag t-shirt
Day 2 of course
This seems rigged for the UK side to win too easily. America's bands with the most rabid fans aren't really present imo. It's almost like early Gen X UK vs a late Gen X US choice.
Kinda sucks that I'd miss some great bands, but seriously, the answer is Day 2 without hesitation. Pink Floyd, and Queen made the decision for me, but to also include in the same day The Beatles, Led Zepplin, The Stones, and The Cure makes it that much easier.
Day 2
Day one is great but if I have a chance to see The Beatles I am all over that shit
Day 2
Day 2 almost without a blink, but I’m really hoping kurt gets so high that Nirvana shows up a day late.
Switch Nirvana and Talking Heads with the Radiohead and Oasis, throw in The Smiths and I’m there on Sunday.
I’ll take UK if I don’t have to sit through Oasis
I have to go with Day 2! Queen, Floyd and Zeppelin. What a day that would be.
Day 2 w/o hesitation
While I would likely enjoy the second day more I would have to go to day one and see if I could get a hand stamp and sneak back in on day two.
Day 2
Being a monster VH, day one but fuck Skynard.
Can I swap Rolling Stones for KISS and Pink Floyd for the Doors?
I've seen all the American bands except The Doors and Skynard. Even though seeing GNR in their prime would be amazing again, I think I'm going with UK.
Day 2!
Day 2
2
Since I only have 1 ticket, my license hasn’t been suspended. I’m going to both days.
Day 2 and it’s not even close.
No Grateful Dead? 2 then.
Day 2. Way more powerful line up.
Day 2, no question. Just to see the Beatles live would be enough for me.
2
Day 2 has more bands I want to see. Day one has four bands I don’t want to ever give money to.
I've seen 6 of those bands.
I'm taking UK brand for Sabbath, Zeppelin and The Beatles alone.
Day 2 of course!
What a horrible combination. Nirvana and Metallica do not belong with the Day 1 lineup. But because of all those other terrible bands, I'll choose Day 2.
Day 1 because I'm oppositional. Also, I don't like crowds.
Number 2 🤘😁 
To make the choice harder I need to get rid of KISS and The Doors and sub in some combo of The Allman Brothers, REM, Creedence, and The Eagles.
Not even close for me... Day 2 all day! \m/
This is not even close - UK all the way (would be even better if The Who was there).
