I'm fairly happy with who I saw as a teen, but like John, The Clash were still performing and I didn't see them, their first album is probably still my favourite. I seem to recall Joe Strummer had a rep for regularly going AWOL before gigs in the early 80s. Poly Styrene died recently, would have liked to have seen X-ray Specs. A few above have said Ian Curtis/Joy Division, I'd probably agree with them. Really old bands, Sky Saxon/The Seeds and probably Hendrix and Joplin/Big Brother and the Holding Co.

Queen (Freddy)
Free (Kossof)
Nick Drake
Jeff Buckley

Would have loved to have seen Joni Mitchell with Jaco Pastorious on bass.
Saw Pink Floyd and Rory Gallagher on the same evening at two different venues, seen the Clash, Thin Lizzy (five or six times), Metallica, (three times), Ian Dury and The Blockheads, (what a character),
I think Sandy is the one I most regret never having seen, her voice and music mean a great deal to me, and I could cry sometimes at having missed seeing her when she played Bristol Colston Hall. Very sadly missed.Posted 11 months ago # -

Saw Zappa at Wembley Arena and it was a massive disappointment as he was off on one of his guitar trips although the film "Does humour belong in music" is a truly magnificent piece of work.
Saw Rory Gallagher at Hammersmith Odeon and it was **** awesome.
I'd like to add Johnny Cash to my list
