As a counterpoint to the other thread: bands you've seen live who you held absolutely no hope for, but ended up having a good time. I'll start.
Tenacious D.
As a caveat; niece #1 is a huge Jack Black fan (I keep meaning to talk to her about that) and Tenacious D were playing in Kentish Town. Being the devoted uncle I am, I bought her a ticket and invited her to visit for the weekend. A couple of pints pre-gig and I'm in my seat, ready to be underwhelmed.
You know what? They put on a good show. He can sing a bit, their band is tight, and they know how to have a good time. I'm still into their support band too, The Bots.
All in all, surprisingly good. Well, you know. Comparatively.
EDIT: Plus my niece had a great time, so maybe that helped.
