They’re all at it – The Police, Led Zeppelin, OMD, The Electric Armpits, but which band would you most like to see get back together?

The Stranglers with the original line up.

would like to see ultravox again,that would be a good night

Little Angels - although it'll never happen, the band are all doing different things now
Take That with Robbie - also never likely to happen unless his new album flops

Kriss Kross or The Jackson 5.

Kriss Kross or The Jackson 5.

Agree with you on the jackson 5. that would be quality. especially them trying to dance but breaking there geriatric limbs when they spin.

The Smiths, but I doubt it'd happen.

The Jesus and Mary Chain, (which has sort of happened but no UK dates or new album).

B*witched.

OMG I saw one of those bands actually engaged in reformation discussions last night in the Dog & Partridge snug. I overheard that: The drummer is joining a monastry, the singer is destitute and has sold everything except his tank suit, the bassplayer's already short fingers are now down to stumps which could shear off at any moment, and the guitarist is a pretentious sod who only plays some sort of improv ********.

So it doesn't sound like there's much hope of a reformation.

Now hows about The Lemon Happening Boys or A Beautiful Mutilation reforming?

The original line ups for...

Spandau Ballet - before the stupid bitches fell out with each other :roll: and... Duran Duran

Def Leppard too, if you can reincarnate one of them

I'm sure I can't be the only person who's mentioned this, but your peculiar habit of emboldening certain words in nearly all of your posts is extremely distracting, and as far as I can see, serves no useful purpose.

Chaz and Dave.

I agree.. but back on topic :huh: erm... Marillion with Fish.

...extremely distracting, and as far as I can see, serves no useful purpose.
There's your purpose. Right there.

Kriss Kross or The Jackson 5.

ha ha ha !

Starship making a comeback would be special.

How about Vanilla Ice ?

How about Vanilla Ice ?
Think it's bindun. Milli Vanilli would be better. But make them actually sing, like they tried to that time when they got caught miming.

OK OK .....

Betty Boo or Black Box ?

We could add the Chilli Peppers and the Stones on the basis they never realised when their shelf life had expired ?

The Muppet Show Band! :D

Er, ahem.. *Gets coat*

*Sorry Mel*

The Trumpton Fire Brigade Band.. Hugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and the other one.

Just the ones that could still reform (ie all alive)
Janes Addiction
Bauhaus
Rage Against the Machine
Soundgarden
Faith no More (Patton, Bottum, Gould, Martin, Bordin)
Mr Bungle
Original line up of the Smashing Pumpkins
Skunk Anansie

The Smiths
Blur
Ben Folds Five
Suede
Pulp
ELO

The jam & The Specials.

The Libertines

Starship making a comeback would be special.

Seriously?? I had the misfortune to see them at the illfated Reading 88 festival - there was hardly anyone watching them - everyone else had buggered off back to the campsite...

I'd like to see Crazyhead reform - though by all accounts that might be on for next year...

The Beautiful South :( and Pink Floyd, but mostly The Beautiful South

I'd like to see Crazyhead reform - though by all accounts that might be on for next year...

I once got thrown out of a party of theirs. Apparently I was too rock 'n' roll for them....

Ben Folds Five.
The original Attractions line up.
The Beautiful South (though I'd settle for The Housemartins).
Pulp.

Mansun
Skunk Anansie
Pink Floyd

Slade.

I know Noddy Holder probably doesn't need the money but a Slade re-union would rock, even if it was only for one album. I'd consider going to a Slade concert if they did reform, if the tickets weren't too pricey.

The Vapors

The Smiths
Blur
Ben Folds Five
Suede
Pulp
ELO

Aren't Blur getting back together? I thought I heard somewhere that Coxon was going to re-join them.

Michael Jackson

The Libertines

^ libs and pink floyd.
(although I doubt the libertines would be as good now...that moment in time has passed, I'd just want them to reform because I never got to see them live before)

Do bands ever re-form for anything other than money? They split or pack in because they've gone as far as they can together for whatever reason.

Let's keep our memories of when the bands were exciting, vital, creative etc. They belongto a certain era. Leave the rest to the tribute bands.

Apparantly blur met for a "reunion lunch" but there aren't any plans to reform just yet:

The Band of Gypsys (unlikely though).

I agree with this. Much as I love Boyzone, I don't want them to reform as it just wouldnt be the same - spice girls take note!

However I also wish I had seen Libertines live

I saw a thing on Shane Lynch in the Irish Post last week and it sounded like a Boyzone reformation was quite likely.

Ahh, I see. Thank you.

The Smiths

I wanted Take That to reform. Now I think they were better off staying out of the way.

Genesis with Peter Gabriel singing :)

Autograph :banana: (US version,not the Russian band)

(although I doubt the libertines would be as good now...that moment in time has passed, I'd just want them to reform because I never got to see them live before)

Well if the moment has passed for libertines I think the century has passed for the floyd!

I like Pink Floyd but I don't think I get them the same way as everyone else - my favourite albums are The Wall, Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Final Cut and I never understood what was so great about Syd Barrett.

The Band of Gypsys (unlikely though).

I would have thougt an obvious omission might prevent that reformation - but that didnt stop "Thin Lizzy" reforming...

Here we go.

http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=m1UMqsTTnkE
Such a tight rhythm section. Much as I love Mitch Mitchell's drumming, Band of Gypsys were the ultimate Hendrix line-up.

You're right about pink floyd, but again I only want them to reform because I never got see them in their heyday (not being born and all...). What I mean is, I'd like both bands to get back together just so I can see them, not permanently :)

There's actually loads of bands I'd want to reform just for me to see them, but those are the main two.

The Inkspots.

The Stone Roses......


Skunk Anansie.....


The Redskins.....


Jim:thumbsup:

Sir Cliff Richard and The Shadows.. Hank Marvin's still with us isn't he?

Definatley the Stone Roses.... never going to happen though!

Arnie and the Terminators... no idea what happened to them after their success with I'll Be Back :D

It would be great to see Our Kid get back together.

The Shirehorses, would love to see mark & lard work together again.

With your moniker I thought you would go for The Beatles with original line up.

Ooh...quite a few really. It was so good to see Pink Floyd at live 8 when they reformed. Always had a soft spot for Spandau Ballet though, even though that Kemp guy creamed all the royalties from the others! messy business! erm..Led Zep, original Sabbath.....

"even though that Kemp guy creamed all the royalties from the others! messy business! "

He wrote the songs, most songwriters keep all the royalties on their writing. I am pretty sure John and Paul didn't give part of their songwriting royalties to George and Ringo.

I quite agree with you but when 5 mates from school get a band together and agree everything a 6 way split (including manager Steve Dagger) form a company called Marbelow just to make sure everyone gets their share then sneakily cancels it all behind everyone elses back when times get a bit hard seems just a little bit out of order, but that's rock n roll! Lol

Led Zeppelin have reformed for a one off gig in Novemebr at the 02 Arena in London (as you'd imagine - tickets are exchanging hands for the foolish money) and Black Sabbath have reformed quite a few times over the years - mainly to play at Ozzfest...

Not that I am a fan, but on one of the video channels last night they said that Boyzone are reforming, including recording a new album as well as going on tour.

Music's loss is DFS's gain......

I'd love to see AC/DC reform! Imagine that!!!!!

Or Joy Division

The smiths, The Beatles, The Stone Roses, All the 90's indie bands!

Various Vegatables

New Kids ON The Block - reformed as 'old fellas trying to look young n hip'!

Bros :) :banana:

I would've said, 'Stiltskin' However, they already reformed. :clap:

AC/DC are still going. Although they've obviously got a different singer. Still good live though.

I'd like to see Misfits re-group with the Robo, Jerry Only, Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein and Glenn Danzig lineup. Not going to happen though.

I'd also like to see Mercury Rev back together. And Cream without it costing a bomb for the tickets, like it did last time.

The jam & The Specials.

My choices too. :thumbsup:

Best. Band. Ever.
I have just been listening to the Band of Gypsys, the second LP that I ever bought, the vinyl with the Puppets on the cover.

That lad Hendrix was not just the best Guitar Player that I have ever heard, he was also the best musician that I have ever heard, and, along with Mozart, possibly the best composer that I have encountered.

Theres loads of bands I can think of a few already mentioned some I would like to see as I missed them 1st time around,

Pink Floyd
ELO
Yes
Slade
Cream (I could'nt afford the tickets last time either!)
Rainbow (with Dio)
Rage against the Machine
David Bowie would do a Ziggy Stardust Spiders from Mars tour (that'l never happen)

Elo
Tubeway Army
Flock of Seagulls
Heaven 17 (if they aint already)

Beatles - Paul, Ringo and his two sons, or Lennon's sons

Heaven17 have never gone away !! You may already know, but they're touring with the Human League and ABC in Nov/Dec, including a date at Hallam Arena :)

Many bands mentioned on here have never gone away ! AC/DC and Duran Duran for starters. Flock of Seagulls reformed but asides from a one-off show in London for *Bands Reunited* on VH1 (i was there - they were fab !!) they only seem to play in the U.S :(

Dead Kennedys with Jello on vocals, not that young upstart they had when I last heard them.

I don't want The Jam to reform despite them being my favourite band. I'm happy having From the Jam and Paul Weller doing his own stuff.


Well I got one of my wishes earlier this year when N'Dea Davenport went back to The Brand New Heavies and having been to see them in Nottingham for a homecoming gig the other week i have to say wow - still brilliant!

My other wish is for Blur - and it was on the radio the other day that this is going to happen next year - and perhaps Glastonbury is on the cards! (But not for me - I can never do Glastonbury :mad:)

My final wish would be for The Stone Roses but I dunno, I think Ian is passed it now, Primal Scream are where they want to be, I don't think it would really work.

So maybe I'll just wish for Blur.

The original line ups of Ian Dury and the Blockheads and Dr Feelgood.Although it would require more than settling "musical differences"

They’re all at it – The Police, Led Zeppelin, OMD, The Electric Armpits, but which band would you most like to see get back together?

For me - Blink 182, The Stone Roses & Wings

Mott The Hoople

JenC pm box full


Smiths
Pulp
