Prince #9?

Spin Magazine has ranked their opinion of the 25 Greatest Live Bands Now!. Having only seen three of the Top 10 on the list, I can't argue much with their opinions, but I also have no interest in seeing the rest of the Top 10 live anyway. U2 is incredible live, the Chili Peppers rocked as well. But Prince only in the 9 spot? Please. If I had to choose between Prince and U2 on the same night, I'm going to Prince. But U2, in my humble opinion, has reclaimed the spot as the greatest rock 'n' roll band on the planet.

But Prince is the ultimate performer. Period. And he's been doin' longer than most of the staff of Spin has been alive. Check the clips for proof....

Here's the list:
10. The Dirtbombs
9. Prince
8. The Hives
7. Green Day
6. White Stripes
5. Radiohead
4. Red Hot Chili Peppers
3. Arcade Fire
2. The Stooges
1. U2
