Letterman Week! Day Six

Why is this week Letterman week, you ask? Well I ask, “Why do you ask so many freakin’ questions?” Each day I’ll be featuring a clip from the Late Show With David Letterman 10th Anniversary Special which aired in 1993.

Today’s (and the last) video: Musical Guest Montage. See how many of the artists you can identify without Googling and pop ‘em in the comments. It took me a couple views but what I believe to be is the full, correct-and-in-order artist list is after the jump. (Ctrl-A to reveal)
