Ok, there are some groups that, as I heard, will never reunite again; some or all of their members just don't want. Who?

And I mean reunion even just for a tour or few shows, not necesarily back permanent in business..

I immediately think in ABBA (I think is Agnetha whos doesn't want) and THE POLICE (Copeland wants but Sting doesn't). Thompson Twins is another group I heard they wouldn't reunite, and I'd love to see them.

Got more on your wish list??

Not counting the obvious "never will reunite" because of the death of a member or two:

The Mr Wonderful incarnation of Fleetwood Mac
The English Rose incarnation of Fleetwood Mac
The Kiln House incarnation of Fleetwood Mac
The Future Games/Bare Trees incarnation of Fleetwood Mac
The Mystery To Me incarnation of Fleetwood Mac
The Time incarnation of Fleetwood Mac
The Allman Brothers Band (with Dickey Betts as a member)
Paris (Bob Welch's post-FMac band)

I'd love to see an ABBA reunion. I know they were pretty close at one time, but Agnetha didn't want to do it. Or something. There was one little thing that kept them back from doing it.

Blue Angel. I think I'd die if it ever happened. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Angel_(band)

Another impossible reunion I'd love to see, is the Jacksons, but it's really impossible because the Michael Jackson I want to see.. doesn't exist anymore. I wouldn't pay a penny to see them with the current Michael.

I guess this doesn't count cause chili already said it, about the "never will reunite" bands because of the death of a member or two. And the old MJ is practically dead. The freak of the present is not the same person.

Supertramp is the other band I would like to see with all original members.

And about STYX, unfortunately one of the Panozzo's is dead, I guess he was alcoholic. So DDY could return, but it wouldn't be the same lineup anyway

Chuck Panozzo is also HIV-positive and isn't well enough to do anything but appear with them every once in awhile.

I want the Smiths to reunite. That's about it.

Annifrid (Frida) from ABBA said on a show recently that the group had turned down a billion dollar offer to reunite. So clearly money isn't an incentive. Agnetha said she misses the group and not a day goes by when she doesn't think of what was. So obviously the affection is still there on their respective parts.
Maybe they just don't think it would the same and fans might be disappointed.

I would just fall over if there were an ABBA reunion. I keep saying to my friends that if I win the lottery, I'm going to pay ABBA to have a concert in my back yard. :D :D :D

Oh...that's just sad. Even my lottery winnings wouldn't be enough. :shrug:

yep, I saw that too. I would kill over for an ABBA reunion.

from what I understand, Agnetha doesn't have the desire to perform as ABBA anymore...she wants to leave the memories and work of the group as they are.

Good luck...I hear Sandy West isn't doing so well, healthwise.

And, I bet Tommy Shaw & James Young are, too.

My friend saw them last year in LA. Tommy and JY were there.
I didn't know Chuck Pannozzo was HIV +

I don't know much about Styx, but Chuck Pannozzo bought a house in my neighborhood last year (Wilton Manors-the gay part of Fort Lauderdale). This is how I found out about it (interesting article)

The Police! Always wanted them to get back together...little late for that now though. Probably should've happened 10 years ago.

Journey, with Steve Perry. He just had a great voice.

I'd love for the "last" official Fleetwood Mac album to have Christine on it again.

lastly...Buckingham/Nicks

I'm actually one of the few Americans who saw ABBA in 1979 on an 18 city North American tour.there was only one.They won't reunite. Agentha is a semi- recluse .Bjorn said that the reunion package would have 'made them virtual slaves for over a year' so they collectively turned it down.Even after the offer was increased to 2 billion.

Rainbow with the line up of Ritchie Blackmore, Ronnie James Dio, Jimmy Bain, Tony Carey and Cozy Powell (RIP). Even if you replaced the deceased Cozy it would still never happen...

I'd like the Crewcuts to reunite. Also Les Paul & Mary Ford, & Billie Holiday & Lester Young, however grisly the prospects.
