I have been to a lot of concerts in the last 30 years and I know I can hit close to every letter in the alphabet with band names. As a disclaimer I am working as a traffic supervisor at the Cowboys/Packers game and I will be in This truck in these storms until 10pm so I have lots of time. See what you can come up with! I'll try A-E to start it off:
A: AC/DC twice, Audioslave, Aerosmith
B: Beastie Boys, Bruce Springsteen
C: Counting Crows
D: Def Leppard, Dokken
E: Eagles, Eric Clapton, Elvis Costello

80s was my high school and college days so I went to a lot of concerts. The teen bands are a direct result of my daughter. I know there are some more, but I can't think of them right now.
 
Dave Matthews band x8
Kenny Chesney
Zac brown band.

I was most impressed that he admitted to N.Sync. Think I would have kept that to myself...haha. I looked back up again to see if I missed Backstreet Boys my first time through.

I will have to rack my brain (what is left of it) and put pen to paper before coming up with a list.
