Well having seen John Fogerty both last year and this year here in London, all I can say is ......................... I HOPE SO !!!

Didn't know that, all I really do know about them is that the Fogerty brothers apparently had a major falling out years and years ago, and evidently STILL don't speak to each other even to this day, is that correct ?

Just one, rhythm guitarist Tom Fogerty. They did their last album and tour without him after he quit, so it's not inconceivable that they could reunite. They won't tho, they hate each other.

The Clash, good one. I'm not sure if Talking Heads belongs on the list ... is a one off gig considered a reunion? Zeppelin did one-off gigs at Live Aid in '85, at the Atlantic Records anniversary celebration in '88, and at the RNR Hall of Fame in '95.

So the list of bands who broke up and never reunited bands is:
The Beatles
CCR
The Clash
The Cars

With Led Zeppelin and the Talking Heads kind of sort of on the list.
