why is it classic when some bands reform (eg Dexys Midnight Runners) but DUD when others do (eg The Pixies)? this often seems to be completely unrelated the bands were before needing to reform.

For the same reasons that having sex with your ex might be magical, sweet, and nostalgic (or prove that there's still a spark there), or, conversely, might be a tragic, awkward, embarassing mistake.

either way you can be content in KNOWING

knowledge is power ... etc.

I think the answer appears in your question. Dexy's still seem to have unfinished business in terms of proving how *important* or *great* they were, while the Pixies, universally adored, have nothing but cool points to lose by sucking live or even just looking less than legendary on stage.
