A weird list considering that:

3, 9 and 10 (Madonna) are tours (would be better if one particular gig was singled out from their respective tours/careers).

4 - The Beatles' first performance at Cavern 1961. WHO remembers that??

C'mon, Robbie Williams, The Spice Girls and Jay-Z in the top ten ? And Knebworth only at the 8th position ? They must be joking...
