Two of the best bands I've seen do these shows have been Cheap Trick (Heaven Tonight & In Colour) and the Lemonheads (Shame about Ray), all absolutely massively packed with 3 minute pop tunes. And I absolutely cannot ****ing wait to see Earth Vs. The Wildhearts in the autumn.

It's not been so much the musicality as the importance of the work to either a band's career or the era they were created. And just an overall sense of coherence.
i dunno there are just albums and artists that lend themselves to that sort of gig i mean the stones could do it with a bunch of records and they're pretty much a 3 minute bar band but i just couldn't see it being that good if bon jovi did it to be honest.

imo have a nice day would probably be their best sequenced album to do it with but it's not exactly up there with DSOTM is it?
