1
The Good: Blink 182 - It took Travis Barker nearly dying to bring the trio to their senses but Blink-182 are back, writing new music and making an absolute fortune on merchandise sales once more. They haven’t even played a show yet
2
The Bad: Smashing Pumpkins -Also known as the Billy and Jimmy road show, this reunion has reduced the band’s good name from a mighty alternative institution to a heap of smouldering ashes. James Iha and D’arcy Wretzky were right to have nothing
3
The Ugly ( But possibly funny): Limp Bizkit - Although it’s terrible that Fred Durst and company are back for another embarrassing bout of loose trousered misogyny, there is an upside to the return of Limp. In his day, Durst called Slipknot fans fat and ugly and a certain Iowan ensemble have not forgotten, here’s hoping Clown follows through on his eight-year-old promise and beats Durst senseless at Download this year.
4
The Did It For The Money: Rage Againt The Machine -It was either because the time was right to highlight the importance of the ongoing situation in Chiapas with the Zapatista Army Of National Liberation or that vocalist Zack De La Rocha and company were getting seriously low on the dough. Rock Sound trusts you to be the judge.
5
The REALLY Did It For The Money: Sex Pistols - The ultimate sell-out move from a legendary punk rock band. Seems like nothing when compared to John Lydon’s recent stint as a butter salesman.
6
The We Don't Know Why: Crazy Town - When they split up in 03 no one cried. Who on earth fed them enough lies to make them believe the music world was missing the ‘inspired’ rhymes of Shifty Shellshock?
7
The If Only: Refused - The band that spawned a million millionaire musicians disbanded in 98 after becoming tired of the stresses andstrains of touring their incendiary album ‘The Shape Of Punk To Come’. If there was any justice this band would be headlining Reading 09.
8
The American Dudes Would Love it: The Smiths - Morrissey and Marr back together sharing a stage? Brand New’s Jesse Lacey, Glassjaw’s Daryl Palumbo, Thursday’s Geoff Rickly and a million others would be front and centre.
9
The We Bet You: At The Drive In -Think about it, everyone still loves ‘In/Casino/Out’ and ‘Relationship Of Command’ and Sparta would kill for people to be excited enough to mosh at their shows these days. It makes perfect sense.
10
The We Hope Never: Nirvana - You just know that someone has made the phone call, offered the money and asked if Eddie Vedder or Chris Cornell ‘could just do the vocals for a few big shows’. We hope we are wrong, we bet we are not.
