Far too many to list here.
Shows that stand out in my mind are: Sonic Youth, Fugazi, Pixies, NoMeansNo, New Bomb Turks, The Jesus Lizard, Six Finger Satellite, Wilco, Ween, Radiohead, Guided By Voices, Mr. Bungle and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.
Worst show I ever saw: "SARSstock" in Toronto with Rush, Guess Who, Justin Timberlake, Flaming Lips, AC/DC and The Rolling Bones. AC/DC was pretty cool. The rest of the bands sucked total balls. The place was just full of white trash and middle age fogies who would kick you while sunbathing because you were "in their way". They got there all early, put on their zinc oxide and their tilly hats, spread their blankets out all nice to claim their territory and just made the place a living hell for everyone who was actually interested in seeing any music. The last laugh was on them though as hundreds of thousands of people eventually trampled over all their belongings. The band I went to see, The Flaming Lips, played for a grand total of fifteen minutes (!!!) and everything cost an arm and a leg, plus I had to walk home which took two hours. Worst concert EVER!
Sade, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Berlin, Sting,Phil Collins twice, Def Leppard twice, U2 twice, Suzanne Vega twice, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Michael Jackson, Marillion(The Fish era), Elton John. All wonderful in their own ways but Peter Gabriel Secret World at The Point Dublin was a totally out of this world spectacle. See it on DVD if possible. You will not regret it.🙄😲🙄😲🙄😲🙄🙄🙄😲

The worst concerts I've been to, which I recall:
The Dire straights (their name says it all really)
Stone Roses (I probably expected too much out of these guys)
Michael Jackson (okay, I didn't get in. We were caught climbing over the fence and were chased by a pack of wild hounds).
Van Morrison (He could have sang so many cool songs and he sung all his worst).
I've been to so many concerts I can hardly remember who they all are. But I think I've summed up the highlights for you.
Concerts I've not yet seen, but would kill you to go and see:
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (long live the rebellion!)
The Pogues (if they ever tour again)
The Dubliners
The Real McKenzies
