What bands or musicians are on your bucket list or “must see before I die” list? They can be broken up bands AS LONG AS it is realistically possible for them to play shows again. My list: Modern Baseball Blink-182 American Football (finally crossing that off the list next month) John Mayer The Brave Little Abacus Snowing Merchant Ships/Midwest Pen Pals/William Bonney Algernon Cadwallader Glocca Morra The Hundred Acre Woods CSTVT Paul McCartney or Ringo Starr

Jessie Ware Planes Mistaken for Stars Big D and the Kids Table Depeche Mode Beach Slang 30 Seconds to Mars Isis Eminem Hundredth Fightstar Crime in Stereo The Mighty Mighty Bosstones Future Crooks The Bell Jar Mindless Self Indulgence Our Lady Peace Rage Against the Machine And My Truest, Deepest, Most Beautiful Dream...

I honestly think I've seen all the bands that I've ever wanted to see. For the most part. Modest Mouse was on the top of my list for like, a decade, but then I finally saw them in 2016 and have now seen them three times. I had never seen Thursday headline until 2017, which was a long time coming. A band that I always wanted to see when I was a kid, but never have, was Pearl Jam...but now they have so much material that I don't know (I was really only a fan of their first three albums) that my interest isn’t the same. Nonetheless, I'd still want to see what their live show is all about. I grew up with all those live albums that they released in the early 2000s (I had like, 8 of them). Definitely still want to see Cake, System of a Down, Paul McCartney. Wish I would have seen Northstar before they broke up.
Neil Young! I’m lucky and have gotten to cross most artists off my list but I still haven’t gotten to see Neil. My other big one was Gwen Stefani but I’m finally seeing her next weekend!
I want another tour from The Format. We're unfortunately past the 15 year for Interventions and the 10 year for Dog Problems, but I feel like there's at least a chance for it. We're also at the 10 year for Aim + Ignite from Fun.
Rage Against the Machine is my #1 if they ever reunite properly. Same goes or R.E.M. Daft Punk would be really sick too, if they ever play shows again. Some others that are more active: Ben Folds Five Bloodhound Gang Cartel Cattle Decapitation The Cure Deafheaven Death Grips Fatboy Slim The Gaslight Anthem Gin Blossoms Goldfinger The Goo Goo Dolls Green Day Jimmy Eat World (seeing June 2019) Julien Baker Kendrick Lamar Michelle Branch The Mountain Goats NAILS Nickelback OK Go (seeing April 2019) Phoebe Bridgers Real Estate Sheryl Crow Slayer Slipknot (seeing July 2019) Sugar Ray Teenage Fanclub The 1975 (seeing May 2019)
System Of A Down Slipknot Pearl Jam Alice In Chains Smashing Pumpkins* Marilyn Manson The Cure Guided By Voices Dinosaur Jr. Flaming Lips Both Gallagher brothers Red Hot Chili Peppers Beck (have tickets for this summer) Thrice And basically a bunch of other post-hardcore/emo bands from the 90’s And yeah, if R.E.M. under any circumstance were to get back together, I’d be there instantly *”OG” lineup. I saw SP 4 or so years ago with the bassist of The Killers and Brad from RATM/Audioslave, but I gotta see James and Jimmy, man
Seeing Green Day on your list made me think that’s it’s been soooooo long since they’ve been to West MI and I wanna see them so bad.
I'm pretty fortunate in that I've been able to knock a whole bunch of my list over the last half-decade or so. Most of the "bigger" bands, anyway: Jawbreaker, the Replacements, Faith No More, Refused, Queens of the Stone Age, the Pixies, the Hold Steady, and the Aquabats to name a few. I'd really like to see the reformed Misfits, though. That's a big one for me. And now that the Stray Cats are going to be touring in 2019, I'd throw them on the list as well. On a smaller scale? The Stereo, the Gamits, Armchair Martian, Dead to Me, the Hippos, ALL in a non-festival setting, Riverboat Gamblers in a non-Warped Tour setting.
I've seen them only once; I was 12 and tickets were $5 for a radio show in September 1994. Fans destroyed the lawn at Blossom Music Center. I remember being terrified. Good times.
1. Sugar Ray (Possibly this June, and it has been a long time coming) 2. No Doubt (Still regret skipping 2009 Reunion tour) 3. Nine Inch Nails 4. The Night Game (Still waiting since last cancelled Toronto show of 2017). Wasn't expecting someone else to have in their list. They are my #1 for anything. I wanna hear all about your show! I'm going in a few weeks. (My second time seeing her). It will be my first time on a plane, as well. But, I wasn't going to miss her Vegas show for anything! I feel like this could be her last big tour.
