Bands you,ve never seen but wished you could

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

top of the list - the sex pistols; in a grotty hole under an assumed name at the height of their infamy....though i'ld settle for seeing them now ,if only to save rotten the embarrassment of having to make another sh!te series for the discovery channel.
with them i would have to include crass,x-ray spex and dead kennedys (with jello biafra,natch).
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.

Will put a big fat tick on all of the above :D

For me I have been lucky enough to catch all the bands I really wanted to (due to them reforming over the past few years.

For me my one regret was never seeing The Specials - I did too much too young

First band I ever saw was the Specials. On a playing field in Rotherham. My mum told me I couldn't go.

Now the original line up of the Stooges have played for me thirty years after splitting my main one has been granted.

For me:
Joy Division
Tom waits (his only UK gig for 17 years had pairs of tickets going for £1800)
A few dead blues blokes - Howlin' Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson etc.

Now Suicide doing Frankie Teardrop would be good. And of course VU would have been something to behold - The Exploding Plastic Ineviteble indeed. 8)
