    REM seems to be the dominant band in this thread...

    It would be a welcomed return that's for sure...

    Lucky for sure...how were they live...

    I really have never researched much of the live performance stuff for them...

    If they came around upstate NY, I think I would have made it...but sometimes it's just not on your radar...

    i'll concur with Pink Floyd and RatM, hands down.

    R.E.M.
    Fugazi (yeah yeah, indefinite hiatus, suuuure)
    Led Zeppelin,but I'm torn on that one, because LZ without Bonham really wouldn't be LZ, so I feel like they had no other choice, and I'm really not too interested in an LZ without JB.

    R.E.M. and The Black Crowes immediately come to mind. The Eagles too might be done following Glenn Frey's death.

    The way R.E.M bowed out was really dignified. They have a superb back catalogue to enjoy and I dont think they could have given anymore, they made so many great records that it was always going to be hard to make the next record live up to expectations.
