Tim Midgett, you are correct.

Given the failure of modern science to craft a workable time machine, one must take the band as it is today.

Given the failure of cryogenics and reanimation, all former band members must be alive.

These factors would obviously preclude a Thin Lizzy reunion, right?

-Thinking Fellers (I am pretty certain they have broken up)
-Swans
-DNA
-Black Flag ("cat show" doesn't count)
-Clusone 3

I wish This Heat met the criteria.

1. Gary Numan & Tubeway Army (assuming the Army is all still alive)
2. M.O.T.O. (Paul/Beck lineup)
3. Vitreous Humor (were scheduled to play here in Milw the night after they broke up)
4. M.O.T.O. (Paul/Dennis/Gary lineup)
5. Panel Donor

If allowed to add a sixth it would be:
6. Polvo

I'd like to see a Grateful Dead reunion with Jerry and Pigpen as they are today. It'd probably be more intersting than one of their "live" shows.

1. polvo
2. come
3. the jesus lizard
4. descendents
5. unwound

in a couple more years, fugazi woulda made this list. but not just yet.

i probably woulda picked the pixies if i saw this thread a while back. funny how many people picked slint, first band named in the thread even... they musta read it.

brad, why not P.E.?

cause P.E. is still together. they played the Autechre curated ATP 2 years ago, and even though Flav is on his way to Rick James-esque celebrity, I'm pretty sure they are working on a new record...yes, according to their site they are still together, and may tour in 2005.

i digress

1. Mule
2. Dazzling Killman
3. Spacemen 3
4. Bastro
5. Storm and Stress.

quick aside, Brad, did you go to U of Iowa? I think I saw .22 open for either Archers or Seam, I don't remember. congrats on the new record.

and maybe the homosexuals in there somewhere.

Aye, and such a shame too.

Assuming I am correct about the continued breathing of all members of the below:

1. Husker Du
2. Steely Dan (caveat: Jeff "Skunk" Baxter must play guitar)
3. Utopia
4. Dead Kennedys
5. ???

Spot 5 depends on whether or not Trans Am has really broken up, because if so it would be them. If they're simply on hiatus though, I would pick a long-defunct band from Baltimore which spawned whiteboy rapper Cex and NES remix artist / electronic headcase Shawn Phase, The Idea Men. Or I could just pick Slint like everyone else.

this internet (fantasy) world, this is too fun..I can't keep it to just 5
