I'd still love to see a 3/4 reunion at some point but I'm not holding my breath. These guys probably have grandkids my age by now...though I know for a fact Gilmour still retains all his chops.
Floyd DID play a few songs together at a charity event in June and it went well apparently. Nick Mason went as far as saying that there is a chance that they do some gigs as a 3 piece (obviously Rick Wright won't be there!) with every penny going to charity. No new music, no nostalgia trips and milking the public, just a band getting together for those of us unlucky enough not to see them before and raising money for charity. Can't say fairer than that apart from the ticket prices. I reckon it will be well over £150 a ticket.

Good shouts for The Cure and De La Soul.

Wouldn't mind checking out Public Enemy (if they ever got around to gigging again) and going to a decent club with a DJ set from the likes of Krafty Kuts.

Beastie Boys
Tom Waits
Jimmy Cliff
Toots and the Maytals

are a couple of artists I would like to see.
