San Antonio, in the past, has showcased its share of music, from ear-rattling hard rock to radio-friendly pop. Then there were those who didn't bother to stop off in the Alamo City. Here are a few examples of each.

HARD ROCK

Megadeth
Date: May 1, 2007
Venue: Verizon Wireless Amphitheater
The 210 take: Dave Mustaine and company teamed up on this tour with Heaven and Hell, a.k.a. Black Sabbath minus Ozzy Osbourne, a.k.a. Black Sabbath Lite.

Mötley Crüe
Date: Nov. 17, 2006
Venue: Verizon Wireless Ampitheater
The 210 take: More than 12,000 people showed up to see the bad boys of '80s hard rock team up with Aerosmith, the bad boys of '70s hard rock.

Stone Sour
Date: April 18, 2007
Venue: Sunset Station
The 210 take: Hard rock at Sunset Station? Not so surprisingly, it fared quite well.

NON-HARD ROCK

Young Jeezy
Genre: Rap
Date: April 22, 2007
Venue: Freeman Coliseum
The 210 take: Jeezy brought some famous friends with him for the Street Dreams Tour, including Lil Wayne, Baby and Jim Jones. Major rap tours don't often come through San Antonio, but when they do, they apparently come in bulk.

Taylor Hicks
Genre: Pop
Date: March 17, 2007
Venue: Majestic Theatre
The 210 take: Not that many people showed up, and those who did were mostly elderly.

All-American Rejects
Genre: Pop-punk
Date: Nov. 25, 2006
Venue: Freeman Coliseum
The 210 take: Only 2,000 fans showed up to see this band perform with Motion City Soundtrack, the Format and Gym Class Heroes, approximately 8,000 fewer people than Freeman holds.

THE NON-ATTENDEES

Justin Timberlake
Genre: Pop/R&B
Where he went in Texas: Dallas and Houston
The 210 take: Timberlake brought sexy back to a lot of cities on his recent North American tour. San Antonio just wasn't one of them.

Christina Aguilera
Genre: Pop
Where she went in Texas: Dallas and Houston
The 210 take: Aguilera, of Latina descent, avoided a city that features a large Hispanic population. Well, that makes sense.

The Killers
Genre: Alternative rock
Where they went in Texas: Austin and Frisco
The 210 take: San Antonio, apparently, wasn't hip enough.
