Rocktober rolls on with the #indie617 Question of the Day on Morning Glory: What classic alt-indie band would you like to reunite?
You’ve been filling our Facebook page with your wishlist of epic acts, from obvious choices like The Smiths and The Jam to beloved Boston bands like Tribe and New Radiant Storm King (Remember those guys? No? Well, I do).
Tons of tweets, too. Keep ’em coming.
For the record, Morning Glory host Michael Marotta went with Operation Ivy, and Paul Driscoll went with Doves. The conversation continues all day long with Julie Kramer over lunch and Adam 12 into the afternoon, so keep it locked to indie617.com. And here’s a tease: this discussion will even bleed over into next week’s Question of the Day.
Going with ska-punk legends #OperationIvy on this one. Would kill to see a reunion show. Make it happen @RiotFest! pic.twitter.com/tjqFf6UgWP

Let’s go with Oasis!

1. The Smiths (the obvious yet virtually impossible option.)
2. I would love to see Nick Hodgson come back to the Kaiser Chiefs.
3. XTC— Daniel Caputi (@danielcaputi) October 15, 2018
My favorite local band of all time, Tribe. Saw them about 75 times back in the day!
