I’m sure no one on these boards will be shocked that I’d like to see a Genesis reunion. Peter Gabriel, Mike Rutherford, Steve Hackett, Tony Banks, and Phil Collins. Any other bands you’d like to see have a reunion?

The Pink Floyd reunion at Live 8 was amazing.

It’ll probably never happen, but…

The Police. Messrs. Copeland, Sumner, and Summers, together, doing the old stuff and some new. Sting’s ego could not possibly cope with this - barring one of the others being on their deathbeds or financially ruined, I don’t think it will happen. [runs away crying to a corner]

I think Live 8 would have been a great time for it. I could have seen them doing the “In the Cage-Cinema Show-Colony of Slipperman-Afterglow” medley. Let Peter sing during “In the Cage” and then have Peter play drums while Phil sings “Afterglow.”
