In a week when the Sex Pistols announced another reunion tour and with tickets for The Cure at Wembly going on sale tomorrow this list is about bands getting back together Not that The Cure really went anywhere, I've seen them a couple of times and would love to again).
A poll released this week shows that Pink Floyd are the band that most Music Choice* customers want to re-form. 5000 people were surveyed and the list of groups people want to get back together is below, followed by the ones they wish would split up! People were only given the choice of the ten bands in the list and asked which would be their favourite to get back together, so it's not very scientific, Ive no idea who chose those ten.
If I was asked this question a year ago I would have said The Police, and I've been lucky enough to have my wishes granted and actually got to see them too (review here) and I saw The Who at Glastonbury. It makes my choices very difficult (and Ive kept it to bands with most members still alive! The Beatles anyone?!)

*Now that was tough. I've seen some of those bands (in italics) and I'm sure that reunions of some of them would be terrible but hey, I got up to 10!
