I'm thinking Guns and Roses - The REAL line up, not Axl and his hired guns.
I'm thinking Dire Straits, Brothers in Arms/Love over Gold vintage.
Who else is there who [i]was[/i] huge, but who could still reform?
This of course rules out anyone with a dead band member, or a band that's still touring.
Anyone else you can think of?
Abba?

The Smiths, but it'll never happen
much like the Stone Roses

That's cos it's a sh1t business innit... 😉
Nah Muggo, it's a shit business.
Of course Flash, it's got to be Adler drumming not Matt Sorum
*Hijacks own thread a little*
Ay up, Kato! You well?
The Beatles.
The Beatles.
As above...
This of course rules out anyone with a dead band member,
Hawkwind, don't think any of them have yet succumbed to the reaper
Oasis although abba are by far the biggest of those named so far.
Ay up, Kato! You well?
aye I'm dandy fella. You good?
Abba are indeed the biggest name there, much though it pains me to say it!
Not too shabby, Kato, thanks. Change of work is ongoing, but am having a little fun in between! Get to the other side when you get a moment, if you can!
Hawkwind, don't think any of them have yet succumbed to the reaper
Most of them are dead. They just don't realise it yet. 8)

Dougal, did you actually bother reading the OP?This of course rules out anyone with a dead band member, or a band that's still touring.
Anyway, Gabriel-era Genesis. All the original members are still alive and kicking. And I missed them first time around.
there has been a scientific survey carried out into how to get the Beatles to regroup
Answer another two bullets
ok I will get my coat

Think their singer passed a good while back now
Most of them are dead. They just don't realise it yet
But not actually six foot under, even Stasia is still about somewhere
the beatles
manic street preachers
the charlatans
buddy holly and the crickets
beach boys
any band with someone dead really...
edit, no i didn't read the op either, but wheres the fun in that
jam
smiths
stone roses
specials (with Jerry Dammers)
quite happy that none of them have reformed as it'd probably be shit, if most of the other reformed bands are anything to go by.
Stasia's living on a farm somewhere, very happily too I believe.
T-rexThink their singer passed a good while back now
Yes but the good news is Marc Bolans mini is back on the road 😉
Electric Light Orchestra
Orchestral Manoeuvers In The Dark
The fun is thinking of bands that were really big where there's an actual chance of them reforming. Still, there are plenty of bands that record and tour after personel changes, like Faith No More did. And there's nothing wrong with the Pixies at the moment, or Gang Of Four, for that matter. Glad FTM and Soundgarden are both back together.
Stone Roses
NWA

And which of those you mention were "really big"?
The Smiths
(I'd love to see Talking Heads together)
ooh....was going to add Pink Floyd (waters/gilmore/mason/wright line-up) and then had a nagging feeling (confirmed) that Richard Wright died (n 2008)....and they already did get back together for live-aid.
Smiths
Stone Roses
Dead Kennedys 😀
Husker Du
Neds Atomic Dustbin 😉
I was gonna say Bad Brains, but then checked their website and they are back in their original lineup. Awesome.

and Jawbreaker, I can't see them ever getting back together, but if they did it would be HUGE.
Charlatans very much together AFAIK, i saw them live about 18 months ago.
Thing is most of these have been money making schemes. I'd love a NEW stones roses album but a tour of old stuff... No thanks. Smiths? Now don't get me wrong. No one is more miserable than me but Ive heard how soon is now enough thanks...
Black Flag and the original Misfits with Glen Danzig!
Oh, huge you said? 😆
Slade with Noddy Holder .Nuthin' without !
Well ignoring the fact that one of their strictly original members has died, and they have toured, in some form, since they broke up... Pink Floyd could be there.
Oldfart,did Slade not just break up about 5 years ago when Noddy got enough radio work to hang up his sideburns?
duckman yeah now touring without him !
anyone actually mentioning ABBA as a F************** BAND should be SHOT... unceremoniously...
they were a POP Group... and therefore SE
I don't think Mark Radcliffe ever rejoined Skrewdriver.
Up to a few years ago I would have said without any doubt The Clash but Joe isnt with us anymore.. 😥
talking heads , end of story
Talking of Talking Heads, anyone read Byrne's book The Bicycle Diaries?
Bands that have never reformed: original line up of The Supremes. Think they're all still with us...
