Best SNL music performance of all-time

How ya'll like that?

It's a great song, but flav just goes off.

Other nominations off the top of my head are Elvis Costello, The Specials, Nirvana and The Pogues.

Others?

Tuco.

Sinead O'Connor ripping that pic of the pope. Probably doesn't qualify as 'best' but certainly is up there as momorable.

The Replacements were pretty awesome too.

Patti Smith doing Gloria is way way up there. Great great performance.

a couple not so well ones that blew me away back when I first saw them. I'm pretty sure both of these were SNL:

Adam Ant performing Strip
Dream Academy doing Life in a Northern Town

Prince was sick when he was on a couple years ago, I'll try to find a video.

Isn't this a little like being the world's tallest midget?

Huh? I can't think of a major music act in the past 20 years that hasn't appeared on SNL.

Rage Against the Machine doing Bulls on Parade, and then being told to leave. Awesome-ness.
