Rules: Has to be a genuine possibility of them touring again.
Fleetwood Mac (will make sure I do)
Daft Punk (watched a documentary on them once and they really push the limits. It will also be a massive occasion as they haven't toured in yonks)
The Killers (possibly the best band to emerge in my era)
Special mention goes to Coldplay. I know I'll get lynched for it, but I can't help but like them. My mate Dave the Rave went last year with work and he said they were incredible.

I remember the Sombrero but not sure exactly when it was open.
I have got Creedence Clearwater hits on LP and cassette and John Fogerty on CD.
Around that time if it was not Creedence Clearwater on the Wagon juke box it was "All Right Now" or "Lola" or Mungo Jerry. |

I think the original "Spirit in the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum was also out in those Wagon & Horses days, so many memories.
I liked The Animals too, in fact I liked most 60's groups in varying degrees. |  | | |

One of the greatest albums ever made. |
I saw Brian Wilson play Smile in full at the Ipswich Regent in 2004/5. Absolutely brilliant. |  |

I think people are being very harsh on The Stones - maybe that's the cool thing to do these days.
I think Start me Up was the last "Great" track but there have been very good ones since and absolutely blooming loads after Brown Sugar.
Not sure either how people can say they have been rubbish live for years, I've seen them loads of times and they have always been excellent - the last one in 2013 when I took the kids and family friends and they all had the time of their life. |
I've seen them twice, one at the old Wembley and once at Twickenham. Went with my old man and my mum and my uncle and my aunt to Twickers in 06, my old man is a Stones nut and a proper old-school hippy back in the day. Used to tell me all these stories about how he'd seen the Stones for free in Hyde Park in 69 after Brian Jones died sat up a tree. I had 2 little scotch bottles taped to one thigh and a baccy pouch covered in cling film with 20 one-skinner joints in it on the other. My old man still likes a smoke so he was alright, my uncle hadn't been near a jazz cigarette for years started giving it billy big billocks "oh, give us a few on that "and had a few puffs, and a few puffs of the next one. Then he pulled a whitey. Stumbling all over the place. The Stones were ***king briliiant though. It's a good 10 years since I last saw them but I was blown away by their energy. They clearly don't need the money, they are rich enough, they do it because they love to play rock and roll music to as many people as they can as long as they can. Their beloved bluesmen like Muddy Waters and Bo Diddley played into old age until they dropped. | |

Metallica
Rammstein
Kraftwerk
The last one is a bit of a cheat. I saw them at Tribal Gathering in 96, but I was too young and too banjaxed to get the full effect.
Rammstein like propane. |
Saw Kraftwerk Friday at Royal Albert Hall |  |

Golden Gate Quartet - Formed in 1930s and still going though they've had a few changes of personnel down the years. They backed Lead Belly on some of his best songs in the 1940s.
Reverend Peyton's big Damn Band - I read somewhere that they'll be in UK in the autumn.
Bob Dylan.
Next choice would be Paul Simon. |  |

Think I need a time machine for mine since they're all still about but are nothing compared to former glories. But that's probably true of most posts here!
Dead Kennedys - As mentioned previously in the thread. One of the best punk bands ever. Seeing Jello in his prime would've been something special.
Buzzcocks - Howard Devoto 'era' (ie one EP) please. Can't bring myself to see them now.
Throbbing Gristle - Seen Psychic TV a few times but just nothing like TG. Same with Chris and Cosey- love them but nowhere near the same!
Thankfully saw Kraftwerk for the first time a couple of years ago- best gig I've ever been to I reckon. Acid is a wonderful, wonderful thing. Little cousin went to Latitude and hadn't heard of them; I told him to see them or I'd never speak to him again. He went, he saw, he loved. [Post edited 25 Jun 2017 15:55]

Saw Buzzcocks (no Devoto, but Shelley & Diggle) & they weren't very good. |  |

LCD Soundsystem
The xx
The Streets
I'm seeing the top two in September, and Mike Skinner is DJing somewhere in Ibiza on Monday so I'll ask him to sort the third out for us. |  | | |

Eels - had tickets to see them 3 times, but for various reasons never actually got to see them. I'm convinced they're one of the most underrated bands.
Eminem - I just imagine he'd be great live.
Paul Simon. Just because. |  | | |
