Dire Straights
or Genesis (with Peter Gabriel)
OMD
Are Simple Minds still together? If not then - them too!
oooo - I could think of loads!
I know Jim Kerr is still involved in the music scene as a friend of mine who runs a record label had him in the studio some time ago. Although the end product wasn't very good (allegedly).
if you talking about bands you got have the specials. The Specials is where it all started and it is where it will finish. The Specials is it. It doesn't get better than the Specials.
few of the members still play in coventry..so need to get down there
and who else could write lines like this
Call me immature
Call me a poser
I'd love to spread manure in your bed of roses
Don't want to be rich
Don't want to be famous
But I'd really hate to have the same name as you
(you silly moo)
For me it would have to be The Smiths,i was too young when they were together :cry:
Or Orbital,who have just split up,but i never got to see them either.
Now theres plenty of bands i wish had split up!!
Well I’ve seen loads of bands in my time and played in some too, but one band I never go to see was THE MOVE, before my time. And no I’m not that old but I do know some of then from my playing days. just like to know what the hell they were talking about....
squeeze!!!
Apparently VH 1 tried......does anybody know the outcome of that one?
For me it would have to be THe Band,pretty tough tho as two have passed were all so talented.
For me the original Alice Cooper Band, although their guitarist Glen Buxton has since died....
Then Queen...although Freddie is dead as well......shame that!
OK...then The Smiths.......I saw them do their last ever gig (although we didn't know that at the time) at the Brixton Academy in 1986.

Oh and The Seahorses!!!
(Whooooooooo ?)
As soon as I saw this, I knew straight away what my answer would be....
Iron Maiden . Bruce Dickinson aka the foghorn as vocals.
On my passport aged 16 my hair was long and the leather jacket crowned the image to perfection. Nowadays the longest hairs I have either sprout out of my ears or my nose. LOL. And as for the leather jacket. Alas that is no more having tried to slide down the road attached to a motorcycle once too often.

good thread:
I'd love to see Creedence Clearwater Revival' re-form.
and , most of all, (excuse me while I 'pop to the bathroom')-'Fox', with the lovely Nousha Fox-does anyone remember them????
Id like to see East 17 fully reformed and made into useful members of society .
Also id like to to see WestLife reformed , but on a genetic level perhaps using one of those machines that Jeff Goldblum had in the The Fly .
Failing that I cant disagree with the previous poster who suggested The Specials , but on the express understanding that we wouldnt have to suffer a reformation of the Fun Boy Three straight afterwards .
and still no one has mention the clash
the second best band ever
) and have given me an idea for a post.
Sometimes I'm glad I don't have cable or sky.
