Van Halen - original lineup (that means Dave on vocals and Michael Anthony on bass) Genesis with the Peter Gabriel-era lineup Kinks - any line-up is acceptable as long as Ray and Dave are on the same stage and not trying to kill each other, although I’d prefer Mick Avory on drums. ---

> [@BwanaBob](#): > > The Sugarcubes - (they did a one-off reunion in Iceland a few years back). I really want this because I had to eat tickets I had in 1989 due to illness. OK, now I have this image of you coming down with some bizarre exotic disease that can be cured only by eating Sugarcubes tickets. 😃 ---

I’d only pay good money to see a Pink Floyd reunion if it was a REAL reunion - with Syd on vocals. Putting one former member back on stage is HARDLY a reunion… ---

ABBA I would at least love to hear some more music from them. ---

I caught mono June '89 and thought it would blow over after a month, so I bought tickets for a Sugarcubes/New Order show later in the summer. Needless to say the mono lasted much longer than I expected and couldn’t use my tickets. They never came around again and then broke up. ---

I’d kinda like to see a reunion of Evanescence. We had tickets to see them, but when we got there, we discovered that the show had been cancelled. I think they’d broken up between the time we bought the tickets and the time the show happened. ---

The original Three Dog Night lineup and Creedence Clearwater Revival. I realize there’s no chance CCR will reunite. too many law suits and bad blood I keep hoping for a 5th Dimension tour. I don’t know what the problem is. Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis jr. are married. Shouldn’t be that hard to get the other members. Ron Townson died about ten years ago. So he has to be replaced. ---

> [@multimediac17](#): > > I don’t think Kraftwerk have ever broken up but they’ve been inactive for a while and they’re on my must-see live acts list. It might not be as much fun as you think. The air of reverential seriousness is awfully heavy around them these years. > [@yanceylebeef](#): > > Husker Du Oh yes. 🆒 ---

> [@Eutychus](#): > > I’d love to see the original ELO back together. Jeff Lynne, Roy Wood and Bev Bevan. Although Lynne has had some rather ugly things to say about Bevan since he tried starting ELO2 so I don’t see it happening. Eh … screw him. Just get Lynne and Wood back together. Why do we need an ELO reunion? Everything Lynne has produced since dissolving the band has sounded like them anyway - Orbison, Harrison, Petty, Dave Edmunds, etc etc etc. And I’m not trying to be snarky, well, maybe half-snarky. I’m a great fan of ELO, the “Out Of The Blue” show I saw way back when is still one of my top 5 concerts attended, own all their stuff on vinyl and CD, but really don’t see the need for them to reunite. ---

Forgot one…Uncle Tupelo! Given their breakup history, this one may be the most unlikely of all :rolleyes: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/band-reunions-youd-love-and-pay-good-money-to-see/555872.md?page=2)
