Bands you'd reunite
« on: January 22, 2004, 04:10:00 pm »
I'm addicted to the series, even the Klymaxx edisode was better than an expected.
 
 So who would you reunite?
 
 My first choice would be Rockpile (Nick Lowe, Dave Edmunds, Billy Bremner, Terry Williams)  Even though the group only released one proper group.  They all worked together on Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds solo records.  I'd crawl across broken glass to see Rockpile do a show.
 
 Other choices include Gang of Four, The Specials and The Kinks (yeah right), Hoodoo Gurus, dBs, Plimsouls, Let Active.
T.Rex

The Smiths
 
 The Jam
 
 The Police (I wouldnt go and see them, but there is hope the other guy might twat sting)
 
 The Pixies
 
 
 I hate the reunion things. They mostly make me wish I had seen the bands in their prime.

Husker Du, The Bongos, Utopia, Guadalcanal Diary (although I think they play once in a blue moon).
 
 Minor Threat, Rites of Spring or 9353 would be great too.

Husker Du...!!! I've heard two of their songs on FRED and both were complete and total SHIT.  Also heard Fugazi and some song called "reclamation" or something like that...utter shit as well. Not impressed with the Pixies either, which FRED plays a lot of....for some reason I remember them being much better.
 
 I'd reunited (original line-ups only of course)
 
 Stranglers
 Waterboys
 Japan
 Cockney Rebel
 Happy Mondays
 Bronski Beat
 
 
 I'm sure there's more but I need to go for a pee!

Hey KosmoV you can fly to Sweden next month and see a near-Rockpile line-up:
 Dave Edmunds, Billy Bremner, Terry Williams, Geraint Watkins, Paul Martinez, Micke Finell
 For some reason they play Sweden all the time.  Geraint Watkins is too cool- I dig his CD "Bold As Love"
 Your itinerary:  http://www.rockaroundtheclock.tv/pages/ratctours.html
 
 Me, I guess I'd reunite Razz so there'd be a worthwhile local band to see

Surprisingly, that's my favorite song by them.

I'll begin and end my list with Uncle Tupelo.
 
 Though I suppose if they hadn't broken up, we'd have never had Wilco.
