Showing my grizzled old Gen X head status here, but Letterman’s musical performances from the 90s are some of the best live TV moments of all time. The bookers took a risk on lesser known acts, and yes it was the days of indie cred (kind of?). But had Letterman solely been a chart watcher, we’d have been treated to Garth Brooks week after week. And whatever you think of the Beastie Boys, I defy you not to bob your head to this version of Sabotage. Career high.
