The Cure. They've never to my town, next time they tour (this summer I assume), I'll travel to the nearest city with them. Apart from that, there's not much I'd kill to see.

I've never seen a band live before, sad but true. Hopefully one day. Anyway,

Plus 44 or Angels and Airwaves, seeing as how my chances of seeing blink 182 won't happen.

The "New and not so improved but still pretty good" Guns N' Roses

Meatloaf

Sum 41

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Pearl Jam

Gwen Stefani, or No Doubt when/if they reassamble

Rob Zombie

Now for a 10th spot...,

...Do KISS still do concerts?

...Does Weird Al do concerts at all?

I'm not too fussed on seeing bands live, to be honest, so I've only got a small selection of "must see live" acts.

Tom Waits

Voltaire (going to see him in March, anyway)

Dresden Dolls

The Pogues (they're on-and-off active, but they tend to play a few gigs around Christmas and St. Paddy's Day for the last few years)

The Tiger Lillies

An Albatross

Bauhaus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs

The Lucksmiths

Mastodon (Seeing them in March WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE)

Nevermore

Evergrey

The OneUps (Video game music cover band, semi-retired now)

Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra

Armcannon

Powerglove

Annihilator

Opeth (properly, not at Download)

The Black Mages

Sigur Ros

Bjork

Aphex Twin

Goldfrapp

Kraftwerk

Robots In Disguise

Electrique

Underworld (can't remember if they're still going)

Prodigy

Autechre

I would say Yeah Yeah Yeahs but the stench of the "we're so cool" brigade would make me sick to the core.

I'd avoid RID for a little while too, then, they've got the hangover of the adolescent Mighty Boosh fanatics mobbing their gigs with the hope of catching a glimpse of Noel Fielding lately, it's probably even less bearable than a Y!Y!Y! gig.

Ugh. I didn't realise they were 'connected' for a while, until I watched the first series of Mighty Boosh anyways.

Shame cos they're amusing in their own right. They were in Birmingham a while back but I wasn't free to see them. I then noticed on their site they had to post about how Noel Fielding wouldn't be at the concerts as people thought it was them supporting Mighty Boosh. Bah.
