Spice Girls top Yahoo! Music reunion poll
- Artists:
- Led Zeppelin »
Yahoo! Music UK has conducted a poll to discover what separated band the British public - that's you, probably - would most like to see reform. The winner: The Spice Girls.
The pop five-piece pulled in seventeen per cent of the vote, with Led Zeppelin coming second. Presumably the poll allowed acts to resurrect the dead, then.
In third were The Police. Samuel L Jackson likes 'em, I saw him on the TV at the weekend saying so. So they must be motherfucking good, yo.
Y!MUK editor Gareth Bellamy said: "The Spice Girls' music, like it or loathe it, has that amazing ability to transport the listener straight back to their heyday."
Whose heyday? My heyday? Soundtracked by Alice In Chains, that. Rumours concerning an actual Spice Girls reformation are still just that, rumours. If they ever do properly get back together, expect the Earth to split and for Satan himself to rise from the fiery depths and fuck each and every one of us in the arse before tossing us into the churning, flaming pit of his stomach. For, surely, such an event must equal the end of the world as we know it.
Or something bad, anyway.

Share on Facebookwhat a pointless poll
pop fans are going to choose the Spice Girls, rock fans are going to choose Led Zeppelin...
Reformations are a bad idea anyway.
But Diver -
the Spice Girls were all about, y'know, Girl Power! It's all Girl Power! Everything is... Girl Power!
GIRL POWER!
Jesus
I can't believe people overlooked the opportunity to reunite the original 1969 line-up of King Crimson.
King Crimson
were definitely Girl Power.
It's all in the eye make up
Or the tubbyness. It could be the tubbyness.
i reckon the next ATP will just be reformed bands recent and new
Think of all the ones we could drag back for the occasion ...
Pavement ... Sebadoh ... Ben Folds Five ... Rites of Spring (as if!) ... Geneva ... The Warm Jets ... Gay Dad ... MANSUN!
Maybe not.
...
That lineup didn't have Bill Bruford or Trey Gunn in it - therefore it is not the reunification you are looking for.
ATP
My Bloody Valentine were asked to reform to curate ATP, i'm messing either
ATP
thats supposed to say i'm not messing,
as in i'm telling the truth
I voted Spice Girls!
For once, I'm on the winning side :-)
Yes, it is a completely pointless poll, but it appeared on my homepgae and I was bored...
I agree.
I like the Spice Girls.
the spice girls
will reform in the next couple of years i have no doubt. their all consuming need for fame and money will totally out weigh the fact that they hate each other.
myabe we could have a 'class of 98' reunion. bring back dodgy and rialto i say!
Great!
I'm really glad this is likely to happen over the next couple of years because the Spice Girls are actually afforded some small level of credibility in some quarters these days (being the nostalgia-driven sheep people we are and because Channel 4 probably put them in the top 5 of some Greatest Bands poll or something). So I'll be more than happy when these talentless old biffers get wheeled out to sing 'wannabe' for the "massive" Wembley Arena crowd of chavs and bitter divorcees because it will finally put the nail in the ridiculous 'The Spice Girls were good' argument that some people have been peddling lately.
They weren't good. You just don't like admitting you fell for the marketing campaign back in good ol' '96 and have been duped by those wacky spicesters ever since. The same way you reach for a Coke out of familiar habit, you'll reach for the inevitable REUNION TOUR tickets. And just as with Coke, you'll be left with a sickly stomach and a bad taste in your mouth when its all over with.
But at least then, when Geri has wiggled her fat arse at us one last time for luck, we can all agree that this band were nothing more than a businessman's late night spunk dream.
Bis
Clearly need to reform.
Spice Girls reunions hardly gonna compare to the recent Kula Shaker one anyway, is it?
Satan
That thing you say about Satan coming to rape and devour us sounds fun, doesn't it?
Satan
Actually, it kind of does. Especially since I have a sneeking suspicion that the physical manifestation of Satan would probably resemble Emma Bunton.
Sorry to dreamily spunk on your chips,
but the Spice Girls were ACE. And as Michael Jackson's gone to seed, making me by default the new official King Of Pop, what I say is completely infallible and 100% FACT.
Girl power!
Invincible!
Gone to seed??? Gone to seed??? GONE TO SEED??? Didn't anybody hear Invincible??? It was absolutely brilli......
...er.....
......I'll fuck off.
Hey Dude.
Don't lean on me man.
That would be her cunning earthly disguise.
Satan's real face would probably resemble Chris De Burgh. And his many screaming voices would be like Fran Healey, R Kelly and James Blunt combined. And he'd make you lick every inch of his skin, which would taste like death and hammers.
17%!!?
Obviously the Led Zeps didnt find this poll or are too high brow to vote!!?
fingers crossed for the ballot!!
