What now defunct band or artist would you most like to see?

[Donnie Iris]

Hearing the Talking Heads on the show just now made me remember a discussion I had with some friends a little while back. I think of all the bands now not touring, broken up or dead I would like to see the Talking Heads just once. I saw David Byrne recently and while it was pretty good, I would have much rather preferred attending one of their concerts in the 80s.

Which artist or band would you choose?

[Furtherman]

Crankcase.

[drjoek]

To see again or never saw?

[spoon]

Nirvana

Eddie and the Cruisers

[paulisded]

I think we had this thread before but my obvious choice would be the Replacements. My second choice would be Uncle Tupelo. The band I wish could reunite would be the Clash.

[Donnie Iris]

To see again or never saw?

Umm, I guess that would be up to you.

I've seen Malkmus but never saw Pavement. That's another one I just thought of...

[burrben]

Why am I so young?

You know I was having this conversation with Rhino over the weekend. I suck at music. I like it a lot. I have a terrible memory. He can hear any part of a song and know the artist and song title (to anybody, even artists he doesn't like). I only know a song if I hear the lyrics and then am not sure if I know the title. Ugh.

[Snoogans]

Hendrix, Sublime, Alice in Chains

[biggirl]

Hendrix, Sublime, Alice in Chains

Thanks for reminding me, yes, of course, Sublime. Love 'em.

I got a specific show I wish I could have seen: Black Flag w/ Venom at City Gardens, Trenton, NJ 1986, even if both of those bands were on the downslide by that point.

I had to sit through a Creed show at Convention Hall partly cause of a chick and partly to see OLP open for them and HOLY SHIT was it awful. All the guy did was stand there and pose like jesus. And the songs werent different IN THE SLIGHTEST. You coulda played the CD really loud and it woulda been the same shit

[hedges]

Allman Brothers (with Duane)

[bradleyjerome]

I saw Big Star two years ago, so I'm pretty sure that they're back together somewhat. Chris Bell wasn't part of the band, though.

Punk reunions are always disappointing. I saw the Bad Brains reunion, and HR's torn apart shitty vocals ruined the experience. His voice doesn't even hold up for the dub tracks, and he didn't attempt to give any of the hardcore vocals, choosing to kind of just do a scatman version of Pay to Cum.

Minor Threat would be awesome, but there's always something peculiar about seeing a 40-year-old man singing songs about youthful ire. Also Ian's voice was starting to trail off towards the end of Fugazi, and based on seeing his latest projects, he'd have no chance to perform as Minor Threat in the incarnation that fans want.

That said, I'd love to have caught the Clash somehow.

[Snoogans]

Dog Starr

[hedges]

Another one - Jimmie Rodgers.

Is that "the singing brakeman" or Muddy Water's guitarist?

[Hottub]

Thin Lizzy.

You're in luck, they're reunited and touring this summer





And I would give 10 years of my life to see the "real" Alice in Chains with Layne Staley

[paulisded]

Is that "the singing brakeman" or Muddy Water's guitarist?

The singing brakeman. I found the Bear Family box set at a used store, and also reading a book about his influence on various genres. Amazing shit.
