    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 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.

    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.

    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...

    Ned's Atomic Dustbin

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

    Well we've been a good few hours drinking
    So I'm going to say what everyone's thinking

    I can only list bands where this is possible (i.e. no Hendrix and the Experience, Cream, etc). That said:

    REM (after ready recent interviews with Peter Buck I would say this is highly unlikely)

    John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton. Possible because they are all still alive.

    John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers with Peter Green. Same as above, still possible.

    John Mayall and the Blues Breakers with Mick Taylor (there were a number of personnel changes with these bands but I'm fairly sure at least one of the configurations is possible).

    Bands that did re-unite to my great joy:
    Dinosaur Jr
    Mission of Burma

    The Beta Band. When Heroes to Zeros came out, I loved the album and couldn't wait to see them after catching them about a half dozen times during Hot Shot II tour. But they broke up shortly thereafter. Still think about it and how unexpected it was
