Their live show still completely kills and packs the house. If the fans like it, as clearly we do by buying up tons of tickets, then why should anyone else care?
 
 This is kinda a stupid topic, because I'm sure the same applies for most bands mentioned. [/b]

uh oh , we hit a sore spot.
 
  i'm waiting for someone to say Radiohead, but then again i am not sure they are still together!

Every band that played Virgin Fest should retire immediately, except Spoon. They should play the 9:30 Club and then retire.

That's my point - anyone you say, it's going to be a sore spot to their fans. The only way you can say a band SHOULD retire is if NO ONE comes to their shows anymore. If people are still coming out, the band should quit because other people aren't coming anymore? Huh?

we did just name most of the Virgin Festival bands
 
 we can also add 311 and Incubus too then
 
 
 i'll add:
 
 Green Day
 Muse (i still love em, but the MCR tour ruined all cred they ever had)
 Death Cab for Cutie

so by that logic as long as anyone wants a band to reunite, they should and we should all be subjected to them all over again?

Subjected to them? You act like bands are reuniting, breaking your windows, climbing into your bedroom and playing sets while you sleep.
 
 There are lots of bands I hate and I manage to avoid them fairly easily. If their idiot fans enjoy them, good for them. I don't lose any sleep over it. That's why this is a stupid topic - what harm is there really in bands continuing to play past their prime?

How are you or anyone else subjected to anyone they don't want to be subjected to?

If they'd just knock on the door like normal people, we wouldn't have this problem. But since they insist on breaking the windows...

Brandon Boyd don't play that way! He yells Pardon Me right in Mrs. Sonick's face every night! Oh, the horror! The ignominy!

i'm shocked that this thread has this many posts, and no one has mentionned the dave matthews band.  they definitely need to stop it.
 
 rush is ripe for retirement.  they haven't done anything relevant in years.  ditto for pink floyd.  i LOVE both bands, but mostly for what they did 20+ years ago.

they're supposed to release a new album before the end of the year.  was that a serious comment/observation?  are there any rumors out there of a break-up?

again, why retire if you still sell out every show that you play, and you enjoy it?

Rush released something after Moving Pictures? I  didn't get the memo.

That albums was supposed to come out in 2006 originally. It was then pushed back to 2007. The band confirmed last week it will not be out in 2007, and they clearly are not done recording.
 
 There's no direct rumours of a breakup, but they clearly have taken time off and done solo/side projects. So, who knows if we ever see another thing from them?

i'm surprised it has this many posts as well; most people ignore what i have to say . . . except to wonder what i think women's hoo hoo holes smell like.
