Best SNL music performance of all-time

[prohornblower]

Becks first performance of "Where it's at" was awesome.

So was Kid Rock's performance of "American Bad-ass"

i think the coolest performance was elvis costello being on their anniversary show, after being banned for a number of years, for performaing radio radio.

the beastie boys were on stage, and started playing, then elvis costellor runs out on stage, and stops them, then then bust into radio radio.

So this was totally staged by Lorne I assume.
All was forgiven and it was finally determined that this song was okay for TV.

Regardless of higher network paranoia at that time which he had to cater to it was pretty retarded that he wouldn't let Costello sing that song in the first place.


Also - The SugarCubes is a good nomination. Love it.

This classic Zappa may not be the "best" but it sure got my attention, in a good way.

Dr. John and The Meters had a nice appearance in '77 or so. Seems like yeaterday. Sigh.

I remember being blown away by The Sugarcubes. Never heard anything like it.
