hmm...i'm going to have to disagree with you there. the smashing pumpkins were not at their peek. Their peek was Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness. After that, you can pretty much forget them. some people may hang me for saying this but i straight up think that adore and machina i and ii are shit. they seem like they are just trying to hard or something. i don't know, the sound just doesn't seem to work for them.

i will still have to wait on their new stuff to see if the "so-called" reunion will be worth it for me.

EDIT: in conclusion, the smashing pumpkins should have stayed broken up.

Yes, they were at their peek with MCIS, but they hadn't lost it at all after that. Adore is amazing, such beautiful songwriting. Machina is just as good to me.

I am very happy they're writing again.

Brant Bjork... he once was god, and now not so much.

Pearl Jam and toast

The Who and Rollings Stones are still amazing. They just need someone to smack them around about their ticket prices...

I agree. Adore and Machina (I and II) are mindblowing albums like all the Pumpkins' work. Bring on the new record.

Chris Cornell should hang it up. I know the guy is treated like he's some kind of god around here, but he's washed up. His cover of Michael Jackson was beyond lame and his James Bond song was pure shit. The guy should either get back with Soundgarden and do a greatest hits tour or retire.

flea is one of the best bass players out there if not the best. john frusciante is one of the best guitarists out there and chad is a pretty nasty drummer.

I saw them in concert about a week ago. John is amazing, but the performance by the band was really lame.

THEY SHOULD JUST PLAY SMALL BAR VENUES .....

I would love to see them in a small venue. I think this could be the solution.

Completely agree with all those choices - except Dylan, his last album was actually REALLY good

He can't even play guitar live anymore because of his arthritus. It's sad to watch Bob play a Casio keyboard these days.

I'm sorry but Bob Dylan is awful live at this point unless you enjoy incoherent mumbling!! His last two studio albums have been 5 star material for people who live in retirement homes. It's a shame that Bob didn't retire after "Time Out Of Mind".

Meatloaf

amen to that. who the hell would want to sit through that spectacle of a show. the only fun part would be putting wagers on when the Loaf' would have a heart attack during the concert. i'd wager while trying to belt on "Paradise by the dashboard lights." i've got nothing against the man but he released the same single for Bat out of Hell 3 that he did for BOOH 2. who cares anymore?

I totally disagree regarding your assessment of his last two records. "Love & Theft" and "Modern Times" are both brilliant.

I think that they should stop touring. Anthony looks exhausted, and his voice really sounds ragged. I'm going to go ahead and say that Anthony is the reason that their show isn't better.

They should definitely be doing small clubs and touring a lot less.

aerosmith
the who-if u can even call them that these days
the rolling stones
kiss
black sabbath

anyone who says cornell should hang it up is outta there fucking mind

keeponrockin

I gotta disagree with Aerosmith. Saw them in 2005, and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen.

I got it. It's right there in Gossard 3:16: "Cornell is God." The unplugged is proof enough for me. its chilling its so good. If you don't appreciate his version of Billie Jean on it, I have no idea what your not liking. no idea......it kills
