spice girls

I have heard that the spice girls are getting back together with in 18 mounths, does this mean they will suddenly be the best band ever, like take that did, I hope is doesnt happen, and I hope all this about take that being great fades out, cause there is so much better music out there!!!

That's true, all this take that business means shane ward and west life aren't getting nearly as much attention as they deserve!

The fact about Take That is that they have returned with an excellent single, and what appears to be a popular album.

The Spice Girls may have a harder timer of it - they were very much of their time, and the ageing process is something that can be forgiven ina boy band, less so in a girl group.

Of course there is better music out there, and worse as well - that's what makes popular music so fascinating. If you don't like the media attention pop bands get, sidestep it - it's not hard to do.

The other day, I actually found myself thinking "I guess Take That aren't so bad". Oh, the shame. Still, I guess it's not difficult to look good next to the total and utter karaoke dross of the likes of Westlife.

Anyway, there's a new Arcade Fire album out on 5th March. That'll show 'em how it's done. ;-)

spot on Andy. Take That returned with a fine song and, by all accounts, a decent album. They've also aged very gracefully and with dignity - essentially they seem like really good blokes (perhaps not Jason, who's a little creepy).

Spice Girls would struggle more as they don't have an in-house songwriter and would be relying on whoever's available and willing.

Also agree about ageing, though not sure the Spice Girls are quite past it yet - Emma Bunton's certainly still gorgeous! (but also pregnant which would surely put a spanner in the works?)

Arcade Fire - brilliant indeed.
