Favorite Bands that have Broken-up

philzonereddy

We all have bands that we loved that have broken up...

Some due to death, some due to fights, some due to direction or whatever...

Which band would you put back together if you could? And which band do you miss the most?!

Me there are a few, but Uncle Tupelo always comes to mind...lightning in a bottle, and the further you pull away, the greater it gets...

Don't get me wrong Wilco and Son Volt are in my regular rotation, but damn if give anything to see Tupelo...

So what's your dinosaur band, fossilized in your memory?

Would have been fun to get another Crosby, Stills. Nash & Young album maybe...

Lynyrd Skynyrd left us too soon.

Rage here too

They broke up when I was in high school. That and STP in a short period of time killed me.

Of course one could argue that the breakup of Rage lead to a very good Audioslave...

Both are equally excellent in my book.

Stabbing Westward
Beastie Boys

RATM for sure. The absence of Zach from the music world is a tragedy. I know he is working on stuff, but other than One Day as a Lion, we have barely heard anything from him.
I would love to see Audioslave do something new as well.
Also agree on CSN&Y
Getting the still with us members of Led Zepp together again for a bigger tour would be epic.

R.E.M
Crowded House

STP

GNR

R.E.M. is at the top of my list. Still hurts that I never got to see them! Lucky we have one incredible catalog to enjoy forever.

InHiding80

Clash
REM
Police

Blink-182 kind of broke up. It ain't the same without Tom Delonge that's for sure.

It ain't GnR without Izzy. Miss his rhythm guitar.

Forgot to add STP and White Stripes.

REM
I've seen countless bands and always loved REM, but never saw them, no idea why...

The Clash...stupid breakup of one of the most innovative Punk bands ever...

The Police...top of the world and egos destroyed it all....

I'd love to see Tool get back together someday

DarthMaeglin

Usually for me a death should end a band (Pink Floyd without Richard Wright being a prime example for me), though Jason Bonham did an excellent job filling in for his father with Zeppelin, so I will echo the above statement asking for an actual tour from them (Plant sounds fine doing Zep songs retuned to his present-day voice, don't get why he nixed a post Celebration Day tour).

So, with all that said, I'd like to vote for The Black Crowes. Miss them, lol.

goldrush

REM
Screaming Trees

Luckily some of my all time favourite bands have got back together recently (Afghan Whigs, Sebadoh, Faith No More) so there's always hope

As far as people that have passed, I'd love to be able to get Blind Melon (with Shannon) and The Jimi Hendrix Experience back together

The Black Crowes.

Sure GNR is back, but what about the last 23 years?

Gaslight said hiatus but who knows?!

The White Stripes hit me hard. I had to pass up on their 2007 MSG show but figured I'd have plenty of more chances to see them. Boy was I wrong! Luckily I saw them once in 2005 though.

PJM3333

REM for me

By far it has to be all time favorite band RUSH.

This not due a breakup or any of the sort but Neil Peart hatred of touring and being away from his family. Touring takes some much out of him he just feels he can't play at the high level he's used to. Besides after R40 he feels it's best to retire on top. I still would like for them to release one more studio album in say two years from now would be great but I don't see it happening.

Peace

Blind Melon...what a shame...people are always shocked when they finally listen to the whole debut album, instead of just knowing them for "no Rain"...

There's no telling what kind of future those guys had...

In a way I do miss R.E.M. but they were never the same post Bill Berry.

The Neds are still pretty active, even if they're not really putting out new material and unlikely to be playing outside the UK.
