My 2 favorite bands were:

Genesis. Saw them several times.
Black Sabbath. Liked them better with Ozzy, but saw them with Dio. I did see Ozzy's first solo tour.

And enjoyed everything in between, especially the great guitar front men like Hendrix, Blackmore, Santana, Zappa, Clapton.

Favorite Rock Concert - Pink Floyd The Wall

Yea the new Symphony X "Iconoclast" is amazing it gets one of my votes for Album of the Year.

My screen name is based off the band "Racer X", one of my favs from the 80's. I still have a Paul Gilbert series Ibanez guitar at home!!!!
