I know there's a few here and there missing and a few more towards the end of the list just before I came to Spain, but I don't remember so clearly. There's also a shit load of prominent DJs, probably 3 or 4 times this list, that I've seen over the years, but can't be arsed to list them all. You can get a pretty good idea about the music that I identified with though.

Too many to list...

I don't think I'll ever forget shotguning a beer with Eric Wilson.
 
Elvis. I was 8.

Oh and +1 for house parties. Most memorable shows I've seen took place in living rooms, basements, kitchens even. Just kids makin shit happen.
