Smashing Pumpkins, most of all.

Nirvana
Rage Against The Machine
Sublime
The Clash
Pantera
The Ramones

Nirvana, RATM, Sublime, too many to list. Mostly because someone ODed.

the screaming trees - haven't heard that name in a long time, what did they sing?

Hum just played a couple of shows in August 2003, including a surprise appearance at Cowboy Monkey in Champaign IL. A friend of mine went and said that it was the sort of thing you tell yr grandkids about.

Others (besides the Pixies, who are touring this summer):

Nirvana (unlike a lot of other missed bands, they hadn't yet come close to reaching their full potential)
Beat Happening
Naked Raygun
Replacements
Faith No More
The Vaselines

Sublime
Smashing Pumpkins
RATM
Pantera

Pretty bummed that I never got to see any of them live, altohugh friends have said that Rage and Pantera put on killer shows.

i have 3 cds by them - uncle anesthesia, invisible lantern and dust and they are all REALLY good cds. my favourite song of theirs would have to be Butterfly though... just love it.

God of Thunder, Rush is still together! New amazing live DVD/CD release last year. Alex might have to serve 90 days in the pokey for his new year's eve altercation..... Although if you mean the original Rush with John Rutsey on drums, I pity you!

Boston (from the first three albums

I have to add Van Halen (Sammy Hagar version)

I think this thread is far more depressing then it was intended to be. I think I'm gonna go pull out my cds/mp3s and cry now....

I miss old-school Metallica, WHY LARS WHY?!?

REALLY!? That's awesome!

...rumors spread quickly on the net, eh....

directly from justin beck, glassjaw's guitarist, in an e-mail to the administrator of glassjaw.net. the breakup is a stupid rumor.

Zeppelin.
Rage Against the Machine.

nirvana of course
and id also give almost all i have to see jimi hendrix

Smashing Pumpkins
Videodrone
ratm
a perfect circle with paz as a member (for violin)
korn - they mayaswell be broken up, i refuse to listen to their new shit
pink floyd
zeppelin

Yeah, I just read that. But I also read an interview with Brian from Brand New in which he said he was told personally that there was no more gj. . .

definately RATM

a personal letter from beck that is very recent is much more reliable than a dated statement from someone in another band (and yes i know todd from gj worked with them in the past but it is still not direct)

I didn't start listening to Nirvana until after...but I miss them.

The KINKS............ Innovative, lyric driven, and never ever predictable

Van Halen............. Diver Down was a perfect album, Eddie's guitar and Alex's drums with Diamond Dave just can't be touched

Shakespear's Sister............ Siobhan Fahey and Marcy Levy were not only HOT but 2 women that really could knock your socks off with thier vocals and lyrics

Heart.............. Ann and Nancy Wilson had the lyrics, voice and the guitar to put many male bands to shame

The MOODY BLUES........ what more needs said there

and of course the Police, Bruce Springsteen, REM, Cheap Trick, Guns and Roses, Poison, Chuck Barry, and of course the late greats Roy Orbison, George Harrison, DEAN MARTIN AND FRANKIE "OLD BLUE EYES" SINATRA.

Oingo Boingo

Pitchshifter..I fucking miss Stabbing Westward all the time...

I'll see the past two mentions of Soul Coughing and raise them a Ben Folds Five and Luscious Jackson. All three broke up in the same year. That sucked.

ZAPPA!!!

and...yeah...ZAPPA!

Nirvana kept makin music until the end, just think of what else we could have if Kurt was still around.
