I spit out my drink in laughter when I read that an MTV reporter asked Mark Wahlberg about the possibility of reuniting with the Funky Bunch during an interview to promote The Happening. Even more astonishing than the question itself was that Wahlberg was a good sport and answered with, "Part of me would love to run around and act like a freaking a–hole again but I can’t do that." It would be hilarious if he'd reunite with those guys, though. His brother certainly has no problem rejoining the boy band that made him a household name.
That got me thinking about which bands I would love to see reunite for an album or a tour. The first group that sprang to mind was Sleater-Kinney, which sadly went on an indefinite hiatus in 2006. I was also glad to see the The Police announce a world tour, but I'm still holding out for a new album.
What bands would you love to see reunite?
Pedro Garcia
Soundgarden.
1Apparently My Bloody Valentine is back together so I wouldn't have to name that. I have to think about that because I'm not quite sure who I would name.
2Funky Town - I think that was the name of a disco band, way back when.
3I was gonna say MBV as well, but oh dang, I got TICKETS. Kevin Shields had better not disappoint.
Native Nod? Capn Jazz? I'd be down with seeing those guys. Chisel!
4Oh, how about the Smiths?
5Veruca Salt perhaps. Or did that happen?
6well, The police were on my list and so was NKOTB so thats cool. The eagles would be a great one! I missed their Hell Freezes Over tour. And KISS has toured again a couple times and they were great. Saw VanHalen this time around too.
7More Sleater-Kinney? Yes please!
8I would like the Spice Girls to reunite FOR REAL and not just do a tour because I missed their recent reunion tour. It sold out before I had a chance to get tickets
9i second soundgarden and will add rage against the machine and they should tour together, no that wouldnt work, hehe.
10I just remembered that line from Blades of Glory.
11Hanz: Not only did we let down Marky Mark but we let down the funky bunch!
Totally hilarious, but I have to say one of my guiltiest pleasures is listening to Good Vibrations.
nsync... ok, j/k
12system of a down :]
13Phish, please!
14Either The Breeders or The Pixies...or both
15The Smiths.
But Mozz said: "I would rather eat my own testicles than reform The Smiths, and that’s saying something for a vegetarian.”
INXS with Michael Hutchence. Maybe in heaven.
The Stone Roses - won't happen as they hate each other.
Shakespears Sister
16The Velvet Underground.
17Guns N' Roses.. despite the fact that putting the original band back together would probably equal disaster!
18Mudnessa...having Soundgarden and Rage play together would be freakin wonderful! Chris and Zac could take turns singing each other's songs...but yeah it would never happen.
I thought of another. The Pharcyde.
19K is For Kait,
I was thinking the same thing. A whole lotta meds would be needed to keep the original ship afloat!
20I was also going to add Squeeze, but just Wiki-ed them and they are reuniting for some tour dates this year.
21the jackson 5 anyone? haha. i would love for new edition to get back together and stay together. i heart new edition. they had far more talent then nkotb. sorry!
22Not really a band but...Holy Crapp where the hell is Kate Bush!!??????
Miss her!
23I would LOVE to see ABBA making a comeback. But I know that it is very unrealistic.
I have liked their music since I was 7. Sigh.
24That's so funny, esp since I got a friend request from The Funky Bunch on myspace.
Looks like they're jumping on the reunion bandwagon with or without their Calvin-promoting front man!
25Uncle Tupelo. Too bad it will never, ever happen.
