Band reunions you'd like to see

Readers of Bob Mould?s autobiography, See a Little Light, could have been forgiven for thinking the former Hüsker Dü frontman had not so much burned his bridges with his old bandmates as dynamited them, then dug an even deeper channel in the river to ensure there was no chance of them ever being on the same side of the water ever again.

Now, it seems, he must have mellowed. The beloved and influential alt-rock band have just unveiled their first activity in decades, and though no reunion has been announced, bassist Greg Norton has coyly referred to the band hiring a manager ?to help us get a foothold back in the business?.

For now, all Hüsker Dü have unveiled is their first official web page. It is their only official activity since their 1994 live album The Living End, which came six years after their acrimonious split. So far, all the site offers is the chance to buy six T-shirts, but an official Facebook page is likely to follow.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune, the group?s hometown newspaper, reports that the group have been sorting out licensing issues with SST Records ? who released their classic albums Zen Arcade, New Day Rising and Flip Your Wig ? which has allowed their music to be used on television.

?There are more moving parts than we?d like to deal with, but we?ll see what happens,? Norton told the Star Tribune, when asked about future activity, including the reissuing of their back catalogue. That catalogue has been untouched for years owing to it being split between different labels.

?The main thing is, there?s ongoing communication between the three of us now,? Norton added.

Hüsker Dü became one of the most influential alternative bands in the US during the 1980s, moving from hardcore punk to a muscular rock style, with two acclaimed songwriters in Mould and drummer Grant Hart. They fell apart in 1987, after Hart succumbed to heroin addiction. Mould and Hart pursued musical careers ? Mould achieved an unlikely No 3 album in the UK with Beaster, by his group Sugar ? while Norton became a chef.

Also Kyuss with Josh Homme but that will never happen now. We are stuck with Vista Chino.

I want to preface my list by saying that thankfully, I have been able to see most of the bands that I grew up listening to over the last 13 years.  The main ones that I did not see yet, I cant see or wont see because of deaths (Nirvana, Pantera, Alice in Chains are some that pop in mind; and no I would not see any of those bands with a replacement member).
