If you could get them all back together (even deceased members)?

Led Zeppelin  
The Pixies  
…and I wish Randy Rhodes could come back to Ozzy.

Grateful Dead … one more night at the Greek Theater in Berkely. I never saw them on the West Coast.

I copped an extra ticket and tagged along with my brother and his friends to a Blizzard of Oz concert. I was amazed at his guitarist. (Randy Rhodes).

Allman Brothers. Duane Allman.

Sublime, but I guess as the old Beatles adage goes…you would need three more bullets (or, rather, heroin needles in this case.)

The Dead Kennedys could do a lot of good right about now.

It wasn’t just one night, it was for a whole tour. But still, they must really have some issues to turn down $1 BILLION (That is an American Billion BTW). I think that I could make myself get over it for that kind of money.

Megadeth.

And as for the DKs, all those guys are a bunch of sellout bastards except Jello. They actually sued him because he didn’t let somebody (Nike?) use Holiday In Cambodia in a commercial.
