I never thought of myself as someone who collects concert/band T-shirts, but doing laundry today I discovered I own a whole bunch! Many of them go back to when I was in high school. I rarely wear them either. 'Cept for maybe lazy weekends.

This is hardly an exhaustive list (I won't list every T shirt I own) but here are some of the bands I found in my closet today:

Prince (of course)
U2 (only 1, from the Zoo TV tour)
The Charlatans
The Pixies
The Breeders
Camper Van Beethoven
Hank III
The Cure
Nine Inch Nails
Lollapalooza (91 and 92)
Glastonbury Festival (2000)
PJ Harvey
Red Hot Chili Peppers

Who do you have hanging in your closet?

I have one: A prince baby-t that has the sides cut out with saftey pins holding them together, sleeves ripped off and the neck ripped out. It was a gift, I've only worn it twice I think.

green day (my very first band tee...i've had it since 7th grade)

ramones

prince (two of 'em...one from the hit & run concert a while ago and one i got from the npgmc listenin party two years ago)

jimi hendrix (used 2 have two of these shirts, but one got stolen )

kraftwerk

wild cherry (bought it at some vintage sto' in uptown)

the urge

Sting (1998)
Kenny Loggins (from 1986! "The Vox Humana Tour")
Stevie Wonder (from 1985! "In Square Circle")
Prince ("Jam Of The Year" tour... nice shirt btw)
Huey Lewis & The News ( 1984)
James Taylor (several)
Dwight Yoakum (1993 "This Time" tour)

This - just off the top o' my head... I'm sure there's more!

BTW - I don't really invest in this type of stuff anymore, unless it's a group or person I just love...

Last shirt I bought from a concert was probably from Sting.

Damn... I have tons...

MDC
Ramones
Minor Thread
Bad Religion
Dead Kennedys
The Smiths (although I didn't see them in concert)
The Pixies
Zeke
Circle Jerks
Elvis Costello
Prince
Angry Samoans (although I didn't see them live)
The Dwarves
The Dickies
Skinny Puppy
The Queers
Download
The Descendents
Seven Seconds
Social Distortion
Bad Brains
Black Flag
Foo Fighters
Weezer

I don't have any concert tee-shirts anymore because I decided one day that they are priced way too high and are made way too cheaply. I figure with as much as they charge for tickets they probably shouldn't charge me $40 for a shirt made with the thinnest material known to man

I would never spend $40 on a concert tee! The vast majority of mine were bought in high school or near after, and over the last few years if I've bought any, they weren't over $15-20. My most expensive was probably the Glasto T-shirt, and that was maybe 15 pounds (?) and it's actually, a very nice T-shirt. The cotton is super soft and it's heavier than a normal T shirt.

IceNine, you rule! I have many of the same shirts you listed, and that list pretty much sums up the music I grew up listening to. Well, the punk and hardcore stuff anyway. I'm sure there are more bands, but I'm drawing a blank right now . The Descendents show was the first show I ever saw at age 13. I was just listening to Bad Brains a few hours ago also, after not hearing them for years. I just forgot about them for a while I guess.

I've got a few more rock shirts, though none of them are really 'rock' just stupid crap:

Spice Girls (it's from Brazil and kinda cool)
Two Hanson shirts
MJ Beat It Shirt (84)
Prince Hate U

I paid an arm and a leg for three of these shirts - $32 for Face to Face (sigh), 20something for Beat It (ebay), and 30something for Victory Tour (ebay again).

I have a bunch too. In many cases, several from the same artist.

3 Bowie ones
3 Cure ones
2 Smashing Pumpkins

my favorite though is my Joy Division 'Unknown Pleasures' T. Rad design.

CarrieMpls said:

Bless you!!

about five R.E.M. shirts, three Soundgardens, two Pearl Jam shirts from "Ten," Pigeonhed, a Metallica Pushead design that I can't give away to any of my friends because nobody wants it, Tourniquet, the Alice In Chains Jar Of Flies shirt...I think that's it, I never went out of my way to get band t-shirts.

If only they didn't cost so much...I end up getting pins and saving ticket-stubs.

i have the Commodores 'In the Pocket' tour shirt

(i'm tha man!)
