DO YOU REMEMBER?

News of The Replacements adding two new tunes to an upcoming "best of" got me to thinking about the greatest bands who have broken up, and never felt the urge to reform, even though all of their original members are still alive. (And still sentient, for you space proggers who would nominate the original Floyd...)

Sure, I thought of The Smiths. The Jam too.

However, one band keeps placing itself at the top of the list: Husker Du.

Maybe I'm missing an obvious choice, but from where I sit in 2006, Husker Du is the one.

Now go turn on the news...
