To quote Viz, 'Save money on buying Big Country's Greatest Hits by just buying one of their singles and playing it over and over again'.
+2 for Oasis.
Plus Big Country without Stuart Adamson is just wrong.

Fixed 😉
[i]Really don't like music very much, do you.[/i]
Au contraire! I'd say that kind of vitriol could only come from someone who likes music very much.
Lightning Seeds and Cranberries. The bloody Cranberries have just done the dirty. ' Oim so ****ing Oirish I'm more ****ing Oirish than you my whole career is based on me being ****in Oirish,'
And definitely the beautiful south. Can solo people reform? If they can Paul Young, Alison Moyet and Fergal Sharkey. My 80s death list.
The levellers haven't split up. I've seen them live at least once a year for as long as I can remember, but I'll be on the lookout for doppelgängers.
God I love the Levs.
EDIT: missed eviljoes post.
Inspiral carpets are touring with the Mondays, that's just going to be awful isn't it?
Chesney Hawkes anyone?

I went along initially with pretty low expectations. However the new singer (Mike Peters) is a superb replacement. He doesn't try to be another Stuart (he never could be) but does his own thing instead. What you have is a band with a whole new lease of life, that also is a celebration of Stuart's music.
It's personal taste of course, but having seen the "new" Big Country twice now I've realised I'm still just as big a fan as I always was.
Extreme - if ever there was a band with th wrong name.
Get the funk out I ask you.
Rather see bewitched back.
Any of those indistinguishable early 90s bands:
Kula Shaker
The La's
East 17 etc
Deacon Blue
(thanks to Ton for reminding me of the band at the very top of my hate list 😉 )
+1 for Jane's Addiction, a once great band trashing their legacy comprehensively.
I think Kula Shaker had a go at it a couple of years ago, but nothing much came of it (unsurprisingly).
One of the highlights of Xmas tv was seeing that Westlife's "last ever performance" was on. Didn't watch it, but glad it happened, so I'd be disappointed if they went back on it.
I think I saw some where that Gene had reformed - wtf!
nick off with your whiny smithslite bollox i say.
No problem with Blur - i took Senorita J to see them for one of our early dates circa "theres no other way" - Damon Albarn is a very clever fella.
Big country without SA - nein danke.
Levelers first album - side two - the last track was ok if i recall...
Steps
Skooch
Take That. Oh...
Any band you liked shouldn't reform. At best it's nostalgia, at worst it's trashing your fond memories.
Blur - OK in the studio but incompetent live. Their performance at Leeds in 1999 was one of the most embarrassing shows I have ever seen. And the guitar work on their live album was second rate covers band level.
The Levellers by contrast were superb at Dalby a few years back - but then the venue was spot on for them.
What tyres for Dalby (Levellers stage)?
Chesney Hawkes anyone?
How the hell can a solo act reform? (Michael Jackson aside)
I've actually seen Monsieur Hawkes live, albeit accidentally. He was, it pains me to say, really really good, very self-aware, and an all-round top bloke.
