Now that the Police are reforming for a World Tour, which other of the following bands (in their original line-up) would you pay high dollar for to see together again?

All members are still alive and have not toured together since their official break-up. BTW, there are alot of deceased original members!

John McGeosh (sp?) from Magazine died a few years back, so that rules them out.

My initial reaction was Ultravox!, but I like Foxx's current stuff enough to find a reunion unnecessary.

As big of a Stranglers fan as I am I can't really see what good would come out of Cornwell fronting them again.

Not on the list, but I still carry a small desire to see Classix Nouveaux, especially these days as I think an older and more mature CN could put on a good show without the silly over dramatic leanings.

I voted for The Jam way back when, but now that they will be playing Los Angeles this Friday night sans Paul Weller, I don't know, I will be outside the venue[8D], just no ticket in[:(] b/c I'm meeting old scooter mates and there's a pre-planning meeting on our re-union activity plans.

<br>My thoughts on these reOnions

The Jam - Never, although Weller is doing his little tour and Foxton & Buckler have now got a tour in the UK.
Oingo Boingo - Possible, since they parted on good terms
Talking Heads - doubt it, Byrne seems to be in "Sting mode"
The Stranglers - see above, but add Cornwell
Black Flag - which version? doubtful
The Specials - possible, but which members?
Dead Kennedys - Never, Biafra would rather join Journey
Squeeze - IN THE WORKS!!!!
Magazine - Maybe, but not likely
The Boomtown Rats - Where is Johnny Fingers these days?
Ultravox (w/John Foxx) - Doubtful.
The Stray Cats - Why bother, YUCK!
Japan - Nope, the members all have something else happening
Public Image Ltd - For the right $$$ I am sure Johnny would do it
The Smiths - Nope. After all the bad blood it would be hard.

I went with The Jam followed by The Smiths. Good points, doctor, but to add...
Black Flag would never happen because you'd never get Keith Morris back.
Jello's lawsuit left such bad blood that The Smiths are more likely than the DK's.



We didn't sell a lot of records, but somehow we left an impression.
