So I was listening to Sleater-Kinney today and I just realized that I'll never get to listen to their next 'new' album, ever again. And the fun I have of digging through my Dad's old CD collection immediately turns bittersweet once it dawns on me that I'll never have the chance to see Joy Division play live (although it's not like most bands come down to the apparently unplayable taint of America that Orlando is considered to be as is, but that's another thread).

So let's use this thread as a communal mourning place for the bands that are no more, be it through death, or internal strife, or what have you. Of course, I harbor a flickering hope that most bands not afflicted with death will at some point get back together. If MBV can do it, can't anyone?

I somewhat regularly listen to Gun Club and I keep thinking, they were always really good but their band career was cut short just when they were starting to get really really good. Just imagine what they could do today and could have done in the meantime. Of course, then I remember that in the time before he died Jeffrey Lee Pierce was about to combine Japanese and rap and call the result Rapanese.

The first thing I thought upon seeing this thread was that I wish there was a band called Disbanded which would get really popular and then disband so that I could tell people hey guys the Disbanded disbanded!

Also At the Drive In was awesome and its successor bands are sort of both not.

Atomship is amazing. Go listen. They have one of the single most amazing, if not the most amazing, drummer I've seen in a band. Plus their music is fuckin' weird.

Finch broke up, but their 2nd album, Say Hello to Sunshine, was pretty awesome. I hear they're back together but I dunno. Their first album was a bit... generic screamo for me, but I mean like they created screamo or some shit (The emo+scream=screamo... Goddamn it forget it) but still. Say Hello to Sunshine, on the other hand, was a huge mix of ultimate weird and awesome writing.
