It's not the same, and it's a different time, and the chance of being able to redo what happened many years ago, is not the same, and neither is everyone's feelings about it all. These tend to water down and hurt the whole thing, even if there is some care and love about it.

The Mars Volta, but I don't want a reunion. I want several new albums.

Tangerine Dream ca. 1980-1985, i.e. the line-up of Edgar Froese, Christoph Franke and Johannes Schmoelling.
 
Sadly, Edgar passed away in January 2015.
 
Edgar and Chris had not spoken for many years, and apparently were still not on speaking terms at the time of Edgar's death.
 
Edgar and Johannes had not spoken either for some time, I can only assume. Johannes formed a new band with Edgar's son Jerome (who himself had exited TD around ten years back). Their new trio LOOM is, ironically, the next-best-thing to a Froese-Franke-Schmoelling reunion.

Some quick research suggests that they're all still alive and involved with music, so maybe this wouldn't be too far out of the question. The drummer, Gilles Schetagne, has some contact information on his website, so I'm actually quite tempted to ask if a Maneige reunion is something that's been considered.

The original KC or the Red period  KC....both have some great musicians and a lot to offer.
 
That original Genesis line up mentioned above would also be fantastic.

Good idea, Magnum. If you haven't heard Jérome Langlois (excellent) recent albums you can check http://www.progquebec.com/Live au FMPM 2006 is a must have.

Nice day.

I often dream about a 72' King Crimson reunion. The lineup for "Lark's Tongues in Aspic" was simply spectacular especially thanks to Jamie Muir's contribution which sets this album above SABB and Red in my opinion.

So, Fripp-Wetton-Bruford-Muir-Cross it is for me without a doubt.
"Larks' tongues. Wrens' livers. Chaffinch brains. Jaguars' earlobes. Wolf nipple chips. Get 'em while they're hot. They're lovely. Dromedary pretzels, only half a denar."

I think you'll find that Wright & Squire are dead


That's why I said that I was totally unrealistic.

I'd love to see all the participants of KC's "Red" album all together on stage + Jamie Muir. Fripp, Wetton, Bruford, Cross, Muir, Mel Collins, Ian McDonald, Robin Miller & Mark Charig.

Also, 3-guitar Wishbone Ash with Andy Powell, Laurie Wisefield, Steve Upton, Ted & Martin Turner.

And one day in heaven Hugh Hopper, Elton Dean & Pip Pyle teaming up with Keith Emerson.

Well, this last one seems to me a bit farfetched: the bombastic style of Emerson with the more subtle style of the "Canterburians" may not be the best combination.

I'd like Soft Machine to of reformed. You had the Soft Machine Legacy/Softworks recent (A few years ago!) but there was a large Mike Ratledge shaped hole in their line up.

Well, I'd love to hear what would happen. Hopper and Dean also had their moments of powerful fuzz bass and crazy free jazz solos, while Keith had quite an amount of relaxed solo stuff. I guess that Emerson's dense organ and Hopper's dense bass might create a foundation for very powerful jams.

I would go see a Tull reunion with Ian, Martin Barre, Barrie Barlow (and Clive Bunker - twin drums, what the hell), John Evan, Dee Palmer, and since Jeffrey Hammond hasn't played bass since the mid-70s, Dave Pegg. Hell, throw Mick Abrahams in on a few tunes from This Was.

LOL
 
I wish the original band had done another album or two....many complain that the first sounds dated or whatever,  but I think they would have evolved into an even more formidable group over time.
McDonald, Giles , and Lake left far too soon imo for the band to really develop musically among themselves.

You wouldn't get Andy Powell to join with the others, sadly - too much enmity nowadays. But a line up featuring the other four has been mooted by some fans. The only problem would be that Steve Upton hasn't played drums in years, and he has a dodgy back.
