Music Slut Poll: Best/Worst Venue In NYC

As a concert-goer in NYC, there are many many places to see a show.

I would guess there are at least 25 venues, large and small across Manhattan and into Brooklyn.

It's time for you to decide which venues are the BEST AND WORST places to see a show in the city.

I'll even accept Maxwell's as an answer, despite it being in the middle of bumblefuck Jersey.

If you dare give a reason why a venue is either the best or the worst, or both and we like your answers the best... here are your prizes!!!

1. a copy of KT Tunstall's much-loved LP "Eye To The Telescope"
2. a copy of Mat Kearney's new album "Nothing Left To Lose"
3. a copy of The Sounds 'Tony The Beat' EP, including 4 remixes.

PUT YOUR ANSWERS IN THE COMMENTS!!
go!!

Final results to be posted by Friday afternoon Monday morning!

webster hall - dance club turned music venue for profit, sound system blows, drink prices are outrageously high and the security and door guys are meatheads out to harass people.

worst: roseland

why: horrible location; long, narrow sightlines; band always feels so distant; sound is poor if youre more than halfway back; performers have often already played the same tour set at better NYC venues; STOPPED SERVING QUIZNOS downstairs

redeeming factor: never a line for their massive bathroom

Worst: Continental - has always sucked and Trigger is an ahole.

best venue is the Knitting Factory. Several shows every night, the only decent all ages venue in the city. Great booking. And the rooms are small enough that you can see the stage anywhere.
