Sex Pistols
The Clash
AC/DC
Morphine

The jimi hedrix experience

the doors
This is one long list….
When you said that you would want to see the sex pistols live but who is the crucial member you're referring to? I'm guessing Sid Vicious who would be cool to see play, but I don't think of him a crucial.

Just my opinion. :) :)

It is the way that they were seen in the states the first time round, would be great to have seen that line up. I did see them at the 9:30 this go around. It was great, I was super happy but Sid would have been a different show, but equally entertaining for different reasons.

Some of the "oldies" that have lost major members (Beatles, Led Zep, The Doors) I hate to think the kind of music they would be making right now if they still existed.

I guess others include:

INXS
Stereolab
The Rain Parade
The Shamen
Bob Marley and the Wailers
Darling Candy
Skinny Puppy
jeff buckley
joy division
john coltrane
lynyrd skynyrd
led zeppelin
metallica
the germs
and many more

The Who
Fleetwood Mac

Who died from Fleetwood Mac? I thought even Peter Green was still around playing on occasion.

No one. Two of the guitar players fell completely off of their rockers. First Peter Green and then Jeremy Spence.
