Bands you miss

[floyde]

I was eating at Bennigan's the other day and I suddenly found myself engulfed in nostalgia as "Til I Hear It From You" by the Gin Blossoms started to play in the background. I wasn't a big fan or anything, I didn't even own any of their records, but I remember the time when that song was popular and I somehow miss that feeling. That incident also got me thinking about The Cranberries and how I didn't even notice that they weren't around anymore.

What other no longer existing bands do you miss?

Bands I miss:


The Clash
The Smiths
The Police

[dsnort]

Jim Croce
Stevie Ray Vaughn

[yeroen]

And Primus. For the kids that don't know, this is what music looked like back when you could still get acid:

Ned's Atomic Dustbin


They're still around. Not the original line up though.

[mkrishnan]

God Fodder was one of my favorite albums in high school... :)

[gonyr]

Guns 'n' Roses

Is that album ever going to be released?

[bartelby]

God Fodder was one of my favorite albums in high school... :)

You have good taste.
I think I saw them live about 30-40 times over the years.

[Duff-Man]

Duff-Man says....a few for me....

Azure Ray - while both Maria and Orenda's solo albums are decent they're not as good as what they did together.
Slowdive - again, I like the subsequent Mojave 3 stuff but I miss that shoegazer spacey guitar noise of Slowdive
Mazzy Star - they had supposedly started a new album but then nothing...

...probably more too, but I should be working heheheh....oh yeah!

[deputy_doofy]

God Fodder was one of my favorite albums in high school... :)

Why don't you wake up and smell what you shovelin'?

[killmoms]

Nickel Creek, now on indefinite hiatus.

Also Portishead and My Bloody Valenti— oh wait. :D

And, embarrassingly enough, if Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones got back together for a Savage Garden reunion album/tour, I'd buy it/go. :o Their self-titled album came out when I was in 7th grade and was the biggest force that got me into any modern music—before that I shunned nearly all of it in favor of classical.

[Unspeaked]

Any of these bands without dead members (and probably a few with dead members) will no doubt reunite in our lifetimes.

Maybe even The Smiths, thought they're probably on the far end of the "unlikely" scale.

[yeroen]

Maybe even The Smiths, thought they're probably on the far end of the "unlikely" scale.

Mike Joyce will have to croak for that to happen.

[windowsblowsass]

weezer, pantera

[bartelby]

Maybe even The Smiths, thought they're probably on the far end of the "unlikely" scale.

Which can only be a good thing...:)

[Qoxiivi]

Blind Melon and Nirvana. Those are probably the two bands I miss the most :(

RIP Shannon Hoon and Kurt Cobain

[Unspeaked]

Mike Joyce will have to croak for that to happen.

Ever since seeing Waters and Gilmour on stage together, I've prepared myself for anything...

[wordmunger]

Showing my age:

Talking Heads

[mkrishnan]

Oooh, ooh, Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine. Sheriff Fatman!!! LOL but Carter USM is probably just as well off in the past. :p

And James. :( James.... it was really sweet when Laid was suddenly on the air because of American Pie.

Carter USM!

Brilliant, until they became popular.

[mac 2005]

Yeah, I'm not quite sure on how things got so out of hand with those guys. The Police? Three certifiable egomaniacs -- albeit uber talented -- I'm surprised they stuck together as long as they did.

Morrissey and Marr wrote amazing music together, sort of the Lennon-McCartney for the 80s/90s. They suffer profoundly from the lack of the other, and I don't understand what is keeping them apart.

[jamesarm97]

Poe! She supposedly got out of her Sony contract in 2007 after not making music for 10 years I think and is working on a new album. I can't wait if it ever comes out. Give her a listen: http://www.myspace.com/poe

Also miss Eurythmics and all the 80's bands. I did get tickets to see Duran Duran in May.

[Capt Underpants]

The only band I'm into that disbanded is "Something Corporate".

Then of course there are the dead people... like Nick Drake and Elliott Smith, etc.

[killmoms]

weezer

You mean the original line-up, or...? Because Weezer is still together, and going to release their 6th album this year. Of course, I wish they wouldn't, as everything after Pinkerton has been varying levels of mediocre to *****, but that's neither here nor there.

[Diatribe]

Dispatch! Would have loved to see them live. :(

[hayduke]

Sublime and The Stone Roses.

[iJohnHenry]

Showing my age: Talking Heads.

I can top that.

Cream, and Traffic.

:apple:

[killmoms]

Oh yeah, Poe! I'm glad to hear she's finally free to do stuff. Not so crazy about "Hello," but "Haunted" was genius. :D

[TimJim]

Sublime

R.I.P. Brad :(

[McGiord]

Creed
________
Harley-Davidson JD (http://www.cyclechaos.com/wiki/Harley-Davidson_JD)

[scotty96LSC]

April Wine, Great White, The Babys

[yeroen]

I don't know how I forgot to mention Pulp in my original post; one of the groups I truly regret not having seen live.

Of course Jarvis Cocker is still around, and his solo album isn't much of a departure from what he produced with Pulp; and seeing as how many lineup changes Pulp went through over 20 years, with Jarvis as the constant, one could argue that Pulp never really broke up, rather Jarvis just dropped the name.

[Dimwhit]

Guano Apes. I got really into them, only to find out they had already broken up. Bummed me out.

[forafireescape]

Oasis. MAN they were good.

[Keebler]

Tora Tora. early 90s rock band. 1st 2 albums rocked and they had a 3rd ready for release then their label was bought out and the new numbnuts shelved it.

apparently, a band can buy back their material after x amount of time. i'm still thinking about starting a website to get fans to donate enough cash for these guys to release it.

they're going to rocklahoma in the summer. very tempted to make the 22 hour drive (and see a ton of other hair metal bands from the late 80s/90s).

<sigh> it's all selfish. i just love the tunes! :)

[forafireescape]

The only band I'm into that disbanded is "Something Corporate".


Love them! Jack's Mannequin just doesn't cut it for me.

[Karpfish]

Dispatch! Would have loved to see them live. :(

Same! I had tickets to one of the concerts in NYC last summer, but I ended up getting stuck with something incredibly importat and couldn't go :(

I was so angry!

[jessica.]

I cannot recall when I found this little band from the UK but they're called Anastasia. They were out long before the Anastasia we all know came along. They're amazing. When I went to the UK I looked for anything I could find on them and came up empty handed. This is probably the only band I've ever truly "missed". I don't have nearly enough of their music.

[Z.Beeblebrox]

Poe!

Yes! Poe FTW!!! She had this Poe Ball thing too that was being passed around by fans all over the country while she was recording. I really hope she pulls something together. I also miss a band called The Refreshments (not to be confused with The Replacements. And also a female-led band called Republica. I really miss The Cars, too. But I think the big one has to be Zeppelin.

[mahashel]

And also a female-led band called Republica.
I'm listening to Republica RIGHT NOW!! lol That's creepy.

Oh, and Poe rules. It's good to hear that she'll be able to kick it again after her mess with the label.

[Hushbull]

Soundgarden

[stargurl84]

Blink 182

[rhett7660]

Pantera... I freaking loved this band. Anytime they played somewhere close I was there. Those where the days.

[Surely]

The Band.
Dire Straits.
Pink Floyd.
The Zit Remedy! :D

[tsice19]

1. Led Zeppelin
2. Soundgarden

A bunch of other 90s bands I can't think of

A bunch of other stuff I can't think of

[mahashel]

Screaming Trees..
I love Mark Lanegan's solo work, but if the 'Trees got back together I'd die happy. :cool:

[bartelby]

Screaming Trees..
I love Mark Lanegan's solo work, but if the 'Trees got back together I'd die happy. :cool:

There were only 2 of the decent "grunge" bands I didn't get to see live. Screaming Trees and Nirvana. I'd have gladly foregone Nirvana to see ST.

[OwlsAndApples]

The Libertines
Syd Barrett era 'Floyd (although they were a wee bit before my time..)
Blur :(

[mperkins37]

Speaking of ST,
Suicidal Tendancies.
Fugazi Ruled also,
Soundgarden,
Dixie Dreggs,
Pantera would be hollow without dime & I don't know of anyone that could pull it off....
SWEET would also be cool. Ballroom Blitz!

[TuffLuffJimmy]

Neutral Milk Hotel

[digitalnicotine]

Queen.

[Foxer]

Pulp
Smiths
Drugstore
Kitchens of Distinction
Inspiral Carpets
Ben Folds Five

I'm sure I'm forgetting some

[Telp]

Blink 182

I'm surprised this came so far into the thread. True though, they where good, kinda. Hard to explain.

Also Todd Rundgren, still around but man, what a genius. Yes hes the one that does Bang on the drum all day, give the man some credit though, good song, but hes done some brilliant stuff.

[CortexRock]

Skid Row (pre-Subhuman Race album) before Sebastian Bach left the band due to 'musical differences' :P

Their last two albums with the new vocalist are okay, but they simply don't have that edge that Seb's voice brought to the party.

Anyone who misses them would do well to check out Seb's solo album, released last year, called Angel Down. The man can still wail... and he has a couple of duets with Axl Rose, for those of you who miss the glory days of GNR!

[bov]

Blink 182 and Rufio. i pretty much grew up listening to those bands, and they got me started into my musicianhood. :D

[asrmatt]

Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention...

[psychofreak]

Dispatch.

[siurpeeman]

i miss old no doubt. beacon street remains one of my favorite albums. however, gwen's solo career kind of makes me worry should they ever release something new. :(

[c-Row]

Oh yeah, Poe! I'm glad to hear she's finally free to do stuff. Not so crazy about "Hello," but "Haunted" was genius. :D

I know here from the Conjure One album - great voice. I'd definitely look forward to some new material here.

To bring in some long-missed electronic bands as well...
- Leftfield
- Sunscreem
- The KLF (obviously)

I also second (or third?) the mention of Republica. :)

[Techguy172]

Queen
Journey
Toto

[The Menacer]

I miss Journey, but not Steve Perry. I didn't think he was as great as everyone says he was. Steve Augeri was a way more talented singer. Just type in Journey "Separate Ways" 2001 on Youtube and you'll see what I mean.

[FullCollapse]

most of you probably don't know them... but fairweather and hopesfall are the bands i miss most.

there's no band i miss more than fairweather, and i'd kill for one last chance to see them live again.

[Techguy172]

I like Steve Perry I think he is really good.

[JoshLV]

Bush

[zelmo]

Talking Heads
Gentle Giant
Random Hold
XTC

Now, if you start a thread on Bands That Ought to Break Up Already!...:eek:

[rhett7660]

Guano Apes. I got really into them, only to find out they had already broken up. Bummed me out.

Them and Luxt. Love both those band and I got into them, only to find out they have broken up. Freaking sucks.

[SLC Flyfishing]

The Clash
The original U.S. Bombs (before the "we are the problem" album)
One Man Army

That's all I can think of right now.

SLC

[riotmaker027]

you know who needs to make some new music



Blink-182

[Antares]

Tsunami Bomb.

I miss M's wonderful, earnest voice.

[stargurl84]

The Movie Life

[Lazer Puzzy]

I really miss Faith No More, Mr. Bungle and The Blood Brothers

[Telp]

I really miss Faith No More, Mr. Bungle and The Blood Brothers

I miss the blood brothers too. I just found out that they have been broken up for almost 2 years or so. I guess i should stop waiting for their new album to come out...

[Lazer Puzzy]

Ya it is a total bummer and hurt me down deep. I didnt know it had been 2 years though. I hope at least Neon Blonde does another album. I almost like them more... almost. The singer actually had another side project named Jaguar Love.

[Telp]

Really. I'll have to look into that. I'm surprised, especially since there last album was actually mainstream enough for a lot more people to like, and yet still good enough that already fans could enjoy.

[macwall]

I really miss Oasis. This thread makes me so nostalgic.

[cheeseadiddle]

Showing my age:

Talking Heads

Right on. Love the heads.

[Telp]

Right on. Love the heads.

Love them as well. Newer fan too =].

[Dimwhit]

Right on. Love the heads.

Once In a Lifetime...still one of the greatest music videos ever made.

[rhett7660]

"Burning down the house"


I know this song was popular but for some reason I really like it...

[roland.g]

Guns N' Roses here too. Velvet Revolver just isn't the same.

[apsterling]

Oingo Boingo.

[Gray-Wolf]

John Denver. Hey I'm old enough ;)

[c-Row]

I'd like to add Wolfsheim to the list.

[iBlue]

Sublime
Soundgarden
The Dead Kennedys*
Fugazi
Alice in Chains
The Clash
Pink Floyd
The Grateful Dead
Oasis
Jane's Addiction*
The Butthole Surfers*

*though I don't know if they've broken up or what but I miss them from the 90's/80's respectively.

Probably many more but these came to mind.

DK are still about, but without Jello.
Jane's Addiction have gone their separate ways again, apparently.

Butthole Surfers are touring this year!!!

I'm very tempted by the prospect of a BS gig!

[rhett7660]

Oingo Boingo.

Oh man.. I forgot about them... Add them to my list of bands I miss... Great band!
