isn't one of the guys in ABBA dead?

And Take That? Really? People over here are barely worked up over the NKOTB reunion...

I'd love to see the English Beat re-form...

/Stand down Margaret

I will admit the Smiths being in my top3, possibly #1.

Who the hell is Take That?
ABBA, Yeah, I'd like to see them reunite...in HELL

FeedTheCollapse: isn't one of the guys in ABBA dead?


Yeah, one of the session musicians., not A,B,B or A.

The Smiths? Sure, but it won't happen. English Beat did.
I'll throw in Oingo Boingo, just because I can't think of anyone who hasn't stuck together at the moment.

ABBA wrote great pop songs and if ya get past the sugary sweetness, there's a lot of great stuff going on in those songs. Plus the bass lines were killer.

I'd love to see the Smiths and the Stone Roses reunite.

Some Bass Playing Guy: ABBA wrote great pop songs and if ya get past the sugary sweetness, there's a lot of great stuff going on in those songs. Plus the bass lines were killer.

Agree. Abba wrote perfect pop songs. Catchy, catchy pop songs.

HappyHarryHardOn: I will admit the Smiths being in my top3, possibly #1.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

hey now, i am straight and love me some Smiths. Thus the name Kemical MOZ :)

I love The Smiths, but hate reunions.

/head asplodes

Didn't we see a similar ABBA article recently?

Unlike many 'pop' bands (whatever that means), they wrote their own songs, so they made ridiculous amounts of dough.
/'They' meaning Benny and Bjorn

Erm...Take That had the number one album here this Christmas.

Not a fan, but they're definitely still around.

My vote would have been for Blur, but that's happening, which is awesome.

ABBA, to me, was the best of the rotten bunch of "disco" "bands" that came out. The music was well put together and catchy, and above all it SOUNDED good. It might have been close, but it wasn't crap.

Sure, a reunion would be fun. I'd go if the tickets aren't $200 a pop. But only because my girlfriend would do terribly nasty things for the gift. And, really, that's why the guys listened in the first place.

No, there really isn't, isn't there? ... hey, get that hand off of me

I wan't to see a Rainbow risin'.

step 1 - create list of massive fail destined to create tons of traffic to your interwebs

step 2 - no 2 step - that's for country music lovin mouth breathing knuckle draggers

Step 3 profffffit

RevLovejoy: I love The Smiths, but hate reunions.

/head asplodes

That asplosion made me sad. Did I mention that I cried?

Eff you subby, I love Abba and vagina!

ABBA is one of the best bands of the last 40 years.

fark reunions, build me a time machine so I can go back in time to their hayday and see

1) The Replacements
2) The Pixies
3) Velvet Underground
4) Faith No More (any incarnation except when Courtney Love was in)
5) The Damned
6) Hendrix
7) Stevie Ray Vaughn
8) Morphine
9) X
10) Talking Heads pre-Burning Down the house

ABBA - well at least one of them is dead so that isn't happening
Take That - they reunited about 3 years ago so this must be way old
The Smiths - there seems to have been a lot of rumours about this one recently so stay tuned

Put me down for The Stone Roses (which may also happen as apparently only Ian Brown is left to agree).

I was extremely plesed when Gang of 4 toured a couple of years ago.

Fan farking Tastic show!

McCain will be thrilled

I like ABBA. That is all.

Gah. I'll kick in $20 if they don't make me go to an ABBA reunion.

Not a lot of groups I really want to see reunited, now that I think of it. Most of the best bands, it's just not possible, what with somebody being dead and all.

Put me down for The Stone Roses (which may also happen as apparently only Ian Brown is left to agree).

That's what I came here to say.

I used to love The Smiths, but my loathing of Morrissey outweighs any desire to see them.

/don't care about the rest

Why da fark is so many people thinking that one of the ABBA people died?

Dumbasses.

One of the Beatles died. Is that where the confusion springs from?

straight guy here...




would be totally into that reunion

aszure: straight guy here...

would be totally into that reunion

Hate to be the one to tell you, but Richard Wright won't be doing any reunions. I agree with the sentiment though.

aszure: would be totally into that reunion

First two look kinda like Novoselic and Cobain

Some have a guy missing now, but a reunion would still be cool.

they only get to play from the first album not the abomination of the second.

GungFu: Why da fark is so many people thinking that one of the ABBA people died?

Dumbasses.

Check your math there.

You'd only need two bullets for a Beatles reunion.

/They're going in order of talent. Ringo's gonna live to 116.

Glad some straight guys are coming to declare some love. ABBA might not be my kind of thing , but ill give ABBA one thing: BEST. ARRANGEMENTS. EVER

Take That? You mad bastards...


The Smiths though - that would be great, but the tension on the stage would be mad

"No more farking ABBA"

#1. Glenn Danzig, Bobby Steele, Jerry Only, Joey Image
#2. Fugazi
#3. Husker Du

I would have like to seen this in its prime:

/Agnetha Fältskog
//The Blonde from ABBA
///smoking hot

1) None of ABBA are dead.

2) Take That were the biggest pop act in Europe and, well, most places outside North America for a long long time. And they've since reunited and had a #1 album. Unfortunately.

3) ABBA had some OK songs but they were nowhere near as good as Chic or Earth Wind & Fire.

ABBA have repeatedly been offered scads of money to reunite, but, God bless 'em, they refuse.

Benny was pretty cute in his prime.

NuttierThanEver: fark reunions, build me a time machine so I can go back in time to their hayday and see

2) The Pixies



The Pixies were REALLY good on their reunion tour. They still sounded perfect.

barneyfifesbullet - who is that last picture of?

Eddie Hazel: barneyfifesbullet - who is that last picture of?

The Replacements. But the picture of the Eagles is just baffling. They've already reinvented reuniting.

I'm with you on 1, 2, 5, 6 & 7 come back from the dead and most definitely 10.

Smiths is up there and Stone Roses... danduran: My vote would have been for Blur, but that's happening, which is awesome.

Too bad they are only playing 2 shows @ Hyde Park... (England for a weekend?)

I would like to see Bob Dylan get back together.

Bird3149: I would like to see Bob Dylan get back together.

and Buddy Holly

Just gotta chime in here- I love the Stone Roses, especially their debut album. But I saw them twice back in the day and the truth is Ian Brown is a very inconsistent singer live. You're better off just listening to the records and thinking what might have been.

I dunno man, I saw Ian Brown live a couple of months ago and he was fab so all I can ascertain from that is that he's just brilliant all the time

Whoever mentioned Boingo, echoed.

More of my picks:
Love and Rockets (NOT Bauhaus!)
The The ca. 1990 (w/ Johnny Marr)
The Sugarcubes (just one reunion tour...)
Faith No More

While not technically a reunion, I'd also love to see Gunter Shultz and En Esch rejoin KMFDM. Sascha desperately needs better collaborators than the current crew.
