well mitch handled the dismemberment plan, at the drive-in, and ben folds five for me.

blink 182 (1992-2005) - yeah we all know who they are. and yeah they never made mind blowing music. but dammit i really like them and would have liked to see where they headed. i think no matter what i'll always like these guys.

saosin w/ anthony green (2003-2004)- not with this other fuck as the singer. get him out of here. i liked them with anthony green on the mic. sure i really like circa survive, but the translating the name ep is fucking incredible and not nearly enough material from that lineup.

bush (1992-2002) - always loved these guys. started listening to "alternative radio" in like 1994 and these guys were huge at the time. too bad gavin rossdale's recent solo effort wasn't very good.

jawbreaker (1988-1996) - solid early "pop punk" i suppose. got jets to brazil out the breakup of these guys (they aren't together anymore, either), but i don't really see that as an equal trade.

the smiths (1982-1987) - i mean i'm cool with morrissey doing the solo thing. i've enjoyed a couple of his shows. but i really would love to see the smiths lineup back together. great band either way and maybe it's better that they stopped making music together when they did.

operation ivy (1987-1989) - precursor to rancid and big rig, this is just some dirty ska punk. i love it. they didn't have a massive output (27 songs on their complete collection) but all of it was fun to listen to.

braid (1993-1999) - illinois post-hardcore/emo band. i guess sort of in the vein of sunny day real estate or the promise ring (another band that i could put on this list).

screeching weasel (on and off from 1986-2004) - pop punk influenced by the ramones just a lot more attitude. major influence on my group of friends in high school. i just liked how they could go from a melodic song about love to a breakneck song about being mad at the paperboy to a song about not giving a fuck about nicaragua.

i'm sure there are plenty more but i don't feel like doing anymore.
