Bands that shouldn't have broken up

Uncle Tupelo - both Wilco and Son Volt have made some great music, but Uncle Tupelo was [censored].

Pink Floyd - Muck is right about Waters/Gilmore.

The Band - Robbie Robertson is a right bastard and needs Levon to keep him honest.

Blue Mountain - They've reunited, but it ain't the same. It never is.

The Mothers Of Invention. Zappa at his best.

Buck Owens and the Buckaroos - Buck was never the same after Don Rich died.

The James Gang - Maybe we would have been spared The Eagles later years if Joe Walsh had kept it together.

Fleetwood Mac - Lindsey Buckingham is a criminally under-rated guitar player.

Nirvana - The way Kurt was deconstructing his guitar playing and songwriting was nothing short of brilliant.

Buck's music from the 1960's was pure gold, I have a decent collection of his stuff. It really was great music.
As far as Pink Floyd goes, they should've hung it up after The Wall.

Add the Mama's & Papa's to those broken up by death. Imagine Mama Cass belting them out today (to bad about that chicken bone).

Fleetwood Mac was a great band, but Lindsey Buckingham didn't want to travel and wanted to be a 'stage band' and not a roadie. Course when Stevie Nicks dumped him, he died a little inside (as would we all?). Mick Fleetwood OD'ed.

My personal fav, the Cream, was probably the best technical band, especially when 'Antonio Mysterioso' aka George Harrison sat in. Same with Dave Brubeck, when the tenor sax player, (Gerry Mulligan?) sat in with Paul Desmond on the Alto sax....cannot remember if it was baritone or tennor (or the name).....

I thought it was a ham sandwich???
I loved Dave Brubeck's music and Gerry Mulligan, I didn't know that he used to sit in with them. The best music he made IMO was with Chet Baker

Band ruined by death: H.E.L.P.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer formed what would become the biggest "supergroup" of the decade in 1970. They put together a hasty arrangement of songs and played the infamous Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 as only their second live show. Hendrix was going to join ELP the following month forming H.E.L.P., because he wanted to try his hand at something experimental and progressive. Hendrix died 26 days later.

ELP later decided they wouldn't even bother with auditioning any other guitarists, so Greg Lake took up the guitar and they went on as a three-piece.

There was a time in the early to mid 90s when it seemed like everything the Smashing Pumpkins put out was amazingly good. I thought what they did during that time was as good as any of the same genre but more famous bands, like nirvana, pearl jam, Alice in chains, etc.

I always thought Billy Corgan did it all for them and didn't need the rest of the band, but time has proven me wrong. They haven't released anything great since 95.

So I say SP.

Agreed. Most folks just think of Buck as the affable rube from HeeHaw, but his run through the 60's was amazing. He basically saved country music from itself and all that countrypolitan dreck coming out of Nashville.
