I really like Life's too Good. [/b]

same here, I still pop out the cassette here and there.  Second, or third that reunion!

[Bags]

Mine are so obvious....and also contingent on the original lineups (the 'Mats can use Slim Dunlop instead of Bob Stinson) and that they play clubs, not arenas or those friggin' outdoor places.
 
 The Replacements
 The Smiths
 Big Star
 Jellyfish
 The Posies
 Hoodoo Gurus
 Husker Du
 
 I'm sure there are more...

[Richard D Taylor]

Catherine Wheel and Adorable would be my first choices.  Then a little band that nobody's heard of called The Close Lobsters...

>>> Don't be so quick on the Lobsters!!! I had "Headache Rhetoric" and they were a damn fine band of Scotsmen! I love little bands that no one's heard of......I specialize in 'em from this period in time....

[twangirl]

What a damn fine collection of bands! here's a few more I'd like another chance to see:
 Radio Birdman
 The Undertones [i.e. w/ Feargal Sharkey]
 Thin White Rope
 Simple Minds [w/ Derek Forbes & Mick MacNeil]
 Tex Rubinowitz & the Bad Boys
 Big Black
 The Dream Syndicate
 Marginal Man
 Dumptruck
 Mother May I
 The Godfathers
 The Neighborhoods
 Zodiac Mindwarp & the Love Reaction
 The Jesus Lizard
 Sweet
 The Soft Boys [again]
 Holy Cow
 
 Re Rockpile, I'd die to see them, but I don't think it will ever happen. My friend who books Bumbershoot tried to get Edmunds & Lowe to play together for last year's festival, and they wouldn't do it. Well, one of them would but the other said no way.

1. MBV
 2. Meat Puppets
 
 and wouldn't say no to
 The Slits
 Roxy Music
 Jesus and Mary Chain
 Ride (but only if they could be good again)

[Dr. Anton Phibes]

Gang Of Four
 Medium Medium
 Red Rockers
 Ultravox (w/John Foxx)
 Naked Raygun
 Breaking Circus
 Blue In Heaven
 Stranglers
 Jam
 Talk Talk
 Screaming Blue Messiahs
 Sugar
 Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band
 
 Just to name a few.....

[Samantha]

Jesus & Mary Chain of course!!  sheesh, I can't believe it took so long for someone to mention them.

[MAXX44]

Catherine Wheel
 
 the original 24-7 Spyz

But someone mentioned the Replacements and Big Star (isn't one of the big guys there gone?) and Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers (the keyboardist is dead right?).
 
 Some listed did reunite on occasion, Gang of 4 did some (HFestival one year and then the 9:30 the next), Jesus and Mary Chain are they broken up, Screaming Blue Messiahs did something in the early 90s, 9353 did some shows when they rereleased their albums on Adult Swim (and they were brilliant).
 
 Personally:
 
 PiL (Almost saw them but curfew struck it down)
 Happy Mondays (Have Pills playing right now)
 The Sugar Cubes (Einer where are you?)
 Slowdive (Monster Movie and Mojave 3 are not enough)
 Massive Attack (the 3 have to get back together)
 Kyuss (F QOTSA)
 The original Mercury Rev
 MBV (well later version with Belinda)
 The Dust Devils (another almost saw)
 Polvo (what brilliant guitar work)
 The Stone Roses
 The Butthole Surfers (with 2 drummers and Jeff on bass)

True regarding Big Star, at least of the orginial members can passed away.  But Alex Clinton and Jody Stephens (drums) have done success shows with two members of the Posies (ken and jon) backing them.  I'd love to see that show sometime.
 
 One of the early Modern Lovers keyboardists was Jerry Harrison and he is still very much alive.
 
 Two additions...  Pete Townsend solo circa "Empty Glass", backed by bass player and drummer who would later join Big Country.    And Billy Bragg circa 1984.

i missed seeing the sugarcubes as well...

[Sir HC]

I saw the Sugarcubes twice.  Once they played Georgetown University (Life's too Good) era.  Einer was a wildman running around the whole place, Bjork was very passive just singing.  This show ruled as their first album had all the classics.  MTV has a live concert of them they used to show, it was great.
 
 Second time Merriweather,  not as good.
