Who should reform?

[justanothername]

Though out of that list I'd go for Taking Heads or The Smiths. Though I will say that if Fugazi ever come back from their "hiatus" then they'd be the perfect headliner for the Left Field stage.

XTC

Talk Talk

The Cocteau Twins

All of them probably even more unlikely than The Smiths. Have MBV split again?

[Greenelk]

I'm with @pastorofmuppetsTalk Talk would be an absolute must see (yes, never going to happen, but still)

[russycarps]

Anyone said Menswear yet?

Russy, you're just a Daydreamer.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Your man won't give up his lucrative 6Music gig to play drums in a Menswear reunion that only 3 folk care about.

[FuzzyDunlop]

The Smiths, Pink Floyd, RATM or ABBA. (Any of those)

I fear Led Zep would be a complete shadow of what they should be.

Talk Talk on my list of top ten bands.. I've always liked they way they did there stuff and just stopped,  disappeared, walked away.... I don't think we'll ever get the privilege of seeing them live... Shame

*Menswe@r

Pretty sure they are back together in some form, there was a bit of a to-do and a laugh about it a while ago I think

[CaledonianGonzo]

True story: vI saw Menswear at my first ever Glastonbury, proving once and for all that it's a lot better than it used to be.

[Northern Soul]

Stefan Dennis.

Matt Bianco.

Nick Hayward.

 The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.

I saw them (well, most of their set) play what I think is their last ever gig at the Phoenix Festival in 96. They were headlining the second stage. Managed to get back to the main stage in time to see headliner David Bowie. They nearly reformed a few years back, but alas, it wasn't to be.

Unlikely for now unfortunately, Paul Draper's solo album due out soon (though think it's just EP1 and EP2 combined).

I actually caught a wee nit of their (only previous?) slot at the G

Don't know how best to summarise it, unfortunately.

I walked past the Other when they were on and I can say without hesitation or hyperbole that they were the worst thing I've ever seen on that stage. And I've seen the Kaisers on there. Thrice.

They can only have been around for one Glastonbury I think.

That was a pretty remarkable rise and fall - I think even the music press were like "we can't even prop these shiters up". A shame now that they didn't feel the same way about Van McCann's Porridge Pistoleros.
