Ever loved a band that broke up?

White Stripes.

System of a Down.

Why must the greatest ones always die.

Add Soundgarden to that list and you've got my list of ones I miss. :(

A Perfect Circle

The White Stripes

The Smiths :((((( why why why Morrissey are you such a diva. Johnny Marr is the most talented under-achiever ever... he's a virtuoso...

Ugh such great material in only 5 years.

White Stripes are alive and System is in limbo but not dead

Pink Floyd. David Gilmour does play a mean guitar.

I kinda liked their last album, even though they have never really changed their sound that much aside from that album Standing on the shoulder of giants and even that wasnt very different. Blur will always be the better band, but there are some Oasis songs I really enjoy.

Sentenced , one of my favorite bands of all time. not only did they break up but also their guitarist died .

I can't believe I am the first to say this, but NIRVANA!

First band I ever liked and Kurt died when I was like 5 or 6.

I used to watch their music on MTV and once I started getting more into music Nevermind was the first album I ever bought.

Even today they are still like my favorite band and I have come to love pretty much everything they had done.

Thankfully Dave Ghrol's talent has not been wasted and he went on to form the phenominal Foo Fighters!

Moist was a band that was popular in the Canada in the 90s. Too bad I only knew their music after they broke up. The singer, David Usher, is currently on a solo career.

Other mentions: The Tea Party, Matthew Good Band

Black Sabbath. After the song The Mob Rules, even before the rest of that album, they were as good as dead to me. Plus they're actually broken up, too.

I can't really think of any others. Nirvana, I guess.

And one_plum: Yeah, David Usher was good. I saw him in concert a few years ago.

Id go with Sublime. I guess they never really broke up though...Bradley Nowell (the frontman)overdosed, like a dumbass.

Well...then they broke up :P

Yes I too feel Nirvana is the basis for my interest in music. I mean I have literally been listening to the band since I was a toddler.

My taste in music is a bit too varied though to say ONE band is the foundation, granted Nirvana would be the major piece. Bands such as Nine Inch Nails (scarily enough I also used to love the video for Closer as a kid) , Limp Bizkit (they were my first nu-metal band I got into and nu-metal was my gateway into metal) opened my eyes to different styles of music.

A Perfect Circle

The White Stripes

As for me... Their are lots of them, but most have retired and aged gracefully or passed on at a right time. I would say The Smiths, but I don't they their legacy would be remembered as much if they continued to make albums. Same goes for many 80's bands. I will say that I wish Soundgarden, and Faith No more were still together, both fantastic bands. And I cant belive im going to say this but I would really wish that The Smashing Pumpkins old line up was back. (I dont care about D'arcy or James) Im just talking about Jimmy. :(

Blur. I've been listening to them non stop since they just finished the reunion they did a few months ago. They've quickly became one of my favourite bands. There are plenty of other bands that I like that have broken up, but this one is the most annoying because if I'd gotten into them about a month earlier, I could have gone to see them at their last ever show, like my brother did.

[QUOTE="POPEYE1716"] I know I know I was going to say Nirvana. I remember listening to Smells like teen spirit on MTV. Nirvana was the foundation for my taste of music, then came Smashing Pumpkins, Silverchair, PearlJam, STP.... etc you know what bands they are.mexicangordo

IDK, my thing is I feel like they would have just continued to put out great music.

I am not sure what you would say his death was symbollic of though. Care to explain?

Well, Nirvana made everyone who doesn't care about "grunge" music, like grunge music. Grunge and alternative started as a statement of the poor working class teenagers and young adults and every band told a different story of it, from The Cure to The Smashing Pumpkins. Then it exploded to nothing but bubble gum mainstream crap, where everyone started to wear flannel and "not care about the world" because it was "cool."

Kurt was the center of all of that. Imagine making music just to survive, and writing blues songs that represent what was really going on in your life, and then in a blink of an eye, everyone wan'ts a piece of you even though they don't give a crap about where your coming from or what your music is about.

Thats why Kurt purposely created In Utero, the opposite of Nevermind, a dark, shoegazing, grunge album. And he wrote some songs depecting how his life has become "the voice" for the generation (songs like Rape me) When Kurt killed himself, notice that grunge died. A year later after kurt died, Alice In Chains released their last grunge album (until now of course) That same year Kurt died, Pearl Jam made No Code, which is an accoustic like album. The Same year kurt died, rumors of soundgarden began of them disbanding. Its not a coincidence, his death was very symbolic of what that music truley represented. It was very sad, but the time was right.

[QUOTE="mexicangordo"]I myself, am a pretty big Nirvana fan, but I feel like the band passed on at a good time. The death of Kurt Cobain was extremely symbolic and many people never see that.
