Dream gig: Which 3 bands would you love to see reform and go on tour?

[LyraSilvertongue]

The Smiths

Nirvana (sadly not possible)

Pop Will Eat Itself or The Jam. Can't decide

And Sonic Youth are bloody brillaint live - have seen them a few times!

Brillaint?

Princessafterlife - I saw the New Kids when I was 13 and they were great!

I would love to see:

Roxette
Phil Collins (don't think he tours anymore )
Spandau Ballet.

I saw Nirvana live at the Reading Festival in 1992, it think. A fabulous, sadly never to be repeated experience.

Yep SY def still going went to see them perform Daydrem Nation in Aug fan - bloody - tastic...

Pink Floyd (ideally with Syd Barrett if someone can arrange that!)

Was going to go but missed the chance and despite all the rumours over the years they never managed to put their differences aside.

oh, Roxette - good one, beckle! Which 'New Kid' did you fancy? And can you actually remember their names? Joey/Joe (?) was my baby.

.

Ah Bigmouthstrikesagain, Nick Drake would have been top of my list but I was thinking of bands rather than singer/songwriters. Actually, Jeff Buckley would have been up there too.
Oh and I agree about Sonic Youth being fab live, plus I've always had a bit of a crush on Thurston Moore - and Kim Gordon, come to mention it!.
So many great bands mentioned on here, with a few exceptions (IMHO !)

becklespookle - I saw Phil Collins with Genesis earlier this year - they were very good, if a little old with a definate 'dad' audience

My 3 would be
Queen
Prince & the Revolution (with Wendy & Lisa & co)
&
Take That with Robbie

If I'm allowed another 3...
Ride
Dinosaur Jnr
Primal Scream ('Loaded' era before they really rocked out!))

Lloyd Cole and the Commotions
The Housemartins
Wham (that is a bit of a sad admission, I admit)

I thought Dinosaur Jr had reformed?

Nirvana

Stone Roses

The Doors

But could choose more if I coyld.

Ha ha, Pinkpip, I own a Field Mice album, next you'll be telling me you liked the Dentists.
Dinosaur jr have reformed, think they are releasing a new album. Saw them back when they released Bug. Wild and quite wonderful.

Oh I really liked Ride PinkPip 100! Saw them at a festival years and years ago but had to leave before the end of their set to catch the last train home - grrr.

Wham (I saw George at Wembley and cried during Last Christmas)

The Smiths

Adam and The ants (before Adam went funny)

The Stone Roses

Nirvana

Rage against the Machine

Pink Floyd
Cream
Led Zep - really wanted tickets for o2

Wow, Dinosaur Jnr have reformed? That shows how out of touch I am these days!

Screaminghousewife, I have't heard of the Dentists but just googled them and saw that they once supported Shonen Knife, who I did used to like!

Janeiteoftheliving dead - Ride were fab, I saw them live quite a few times, and Mark Gardner was a major indie heartthrob, in a shoegazerish way .

My DH thinks I'm sad cos I've got these boxes full of records - mainly indie stuff from the 1990's - that I can't listen to as we don't have a record player, but I couldn't bear to get rid of .

Abba
Doors
Led Zep -no tickets for me
Saw the Stone Roses and they were woeful,saw Prince and the Revolution and they were brilliant, saw Nirvana and had backstage passes, and Kurt O.D'ed

Ok, I'm having another 3.

Faith No More
Jane's Addiction (they reformed and made a new album but I think they've since split. Haven't they?)
Adam and the Ants. Adam was my first pin-up aged about 10.

So sad about poor Kurt, boolepew.

DP's 3 are:

The Sex Pistols
The Jam
Bob Marley and the Wailers
