I try not to think of bands that can't get back together because of a death, Queen comes to mind as well as Joy Division. Although in Joy Division's case New Order is still going at it, although they really sound nothing like JD exept for Peter Hook's bass. I would never except Queen with a new lead singer though.
I have always thought that I was born 10 or 15 years to late, I really don't like any new bands, and the bands that I am really into are long dead like Oingo Boingo. I guess if there is any new band out there that I like (on a major lable that is) it would be the Killers. But they really don't even come close to the bands of the late 70's and 80's. It kind of sucks because I would love to get out to more shows and be a fan of newer bands but my heart just is not in it. I could never see myself at a Killers show you know?
Also like NA said, bands that are still together but have lost there way like the Cure which as not put out a really good album since Disintegration, there have been a few good songs here and there and I like the fact that Robert will not give up his look, but I can't just put in a newer Cure album and just sit back, I always have to skip around. And maybe that is what Danny Elfman was afriad would happen to Boingo. They went out on top and that is great, but Boingo was known to put on the best Halloween shows and it would be really cool to see them at least once a year dust of the guitars and put on anouther Dead Mans Party!
