what are your top 5 bands/artists that you have never seen live? Here’s the catch. They have to be dead so there is no chance to see them. The ultimate concert list. No particular order of you don’t want.

Heres mine
1. Hendrix
2. Lennon
3. Jeff Buckley
4. Blind Melon
5.  Soundgarden*
* saw Soundgarden at the Bridge School Benefit. That was all acoustic. Never got to see them in full glory. 
Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.

    Pink Floyd
    Alice In Chains
    David Bowie
    Joy Division 
    Jeff Buckley

    I've seen Waters a ton, Gilmour and Mason once each. Would've loved to see them all together before Rick died.

    I caught the reformed AIC on their first club tour, but that just wasn't it.

    nirvana
    Rage (they aren't dead, but unlikely to tour and was my biggest music regret, not seeing them in the 90's)

    That’s in no particular order for me.  I could probably take this list out another 10-15.  It’s really hard to narrow down to 5.

    I'm gonna say the Talking Heads for the same reason...and they are even more unlikely to ever play together again than Rage
