You could actually say the cup overflowed with killer bands. That's why we sat down and picked our favorite shows of the year. Some you won't be surprised by and some you'll be surprised we left off. Check em out.

    Godsmack

    Painman's Pick

    Godsmack is one of my favorite live bands of all time, so to see them share the stage with Staind, Halestorm and Man Made Machine was definitely my Highlight of the Year. That, and I drank all of Driver’s beer. Free beer is always the best.
