Good bands that ended before sucking?

[classics]

I'll say Midnight Oil, solid stuff that just got better every album.

[DebinTx]

1. Savage Garden

and Creed.

[RetroLounge]

35. Creed???

Bwwwwaaahahahahahaahahhaha..

Sorry.

RL

[name not needed]

2. Led Zeppelin

[Fenris]

6. Need I remind you of "Presence," "In Through the Out Door," and "Coda"?

:puke:

[tuvor]

3. Joy Division

[212demop]

11. though, God Bless 'em, they didn't really have a choice.

And New Order was a pretty fucking great consolation prize.

[asthmaticeog]

19. Also on the untimely death tip, Minutemen.

[Jessica]

Nirvana. n/t

[212demop]

12. what does n/t mean?

sorry for my idiocy.

[name not needed]

17. no text

[212demop]

21. Finally an answer! I've been asking for ages. Thank you! Thank you!

N/T !!!

:)

[SmileyBoy]

34. I don't know. Their Unplugged album bit the big one.

Bleach, Incesticide, In Utero and all their live performances were the best. (Bleach was the best rock album from the 80's, IMO) Nevermind was too much of a pop album. Unplugged was just a joke.

4. INXS

Of course now I hear they are going to try and tour again with a new lead singer, so this could change!

[212demop]

15. they're searching for the new singer on a reality show!

How frighteningly pathetic is that?

[motely36]

24. I heard that

Is that a just a rumor? PLEASE!!!!!

:scared:

[212demop]

26. Nope- it's all too REAL, I think the show is on in Australia, maybe?

Or in the U.K.

Can't vouch for that though.

But the reality show part- absolutely true.

[RagingInMiami]

5. Rage Against The Machine

But we sure as hell could use a band like that during these troubling times

[St. Jarvitude]

10. Don't they have a post-Zack incarnation?

I heard a RATM track on the radio that I didn't recognize... the singer sounded like he was doing a really bad Zack de la Rocha impression.

But yeah, talk about a great band (at least before Zack left).

[name not needed]

13. No.

The remaining members, along with Chris Cornell, formed Audioslave.

[eoberhauser]

7. Love Midnight Oil!

They had so much emotion in their music.

[JimmyJazz]

8. The Clash (and before everyone jumps on me, I realize they

kicked Mick out of the band and formed the lame ass Clash Mark II or whatever, but technically, that was a different band). :P

[tuvor]

30. I knew you'd be posting with that choice.

:)

[JimmyJazz]

31. tuvor - it's in the rules! I have to post a clash related answer!

:hi: Besides, it's true.

[212demop]

9. The Smiths.

[bloodyjack]

32. Correct.

[Kellanved]

14. there is no such thing

In all cases like that, the ending itself sucked.

[darkstar]

16. MC 5

I pesronally don't ever remember them sucking, but that was a long time ago...

[asthmaticeog]

18. Big Black

Split up on purpose at the height of their creativity to avoid overstaying their welcome. Would that the Buttholes Surfers had done the same.

[Whoa_Nelly]

20. Spirit

[NashVegas]

22. Replacements

[212demop]

27. ohhh, I love them... I went to one of the last Guided by Voices shows

the other night and before it started they were playing Tim on the stereo, and all I could was I'd rather be watching the Replacements.

The Doors
