Band reunions: good or bad?

Band reunions: good or bad?

New Kids On The Block are rumoured to be the latest band set to reunite, joining the likes of Take That, The Spice Girls, The Police, Crowded House, Rage Against The Machine, Van Halen and The Smashing Pumpkins in announcing a comeback.

Some comeback attempts have met with indifference - All Saints, East 17 and Bananarama have all received a lukewarm critical response. Does the same fate await New Kids On The Block?

What do you think of band reformations? Who would you like to see reform? Which bands should never even think about getting back together?

    Think it's sour grapes on the part of Specials fans. Get over the fact that Spanadu Ballet are gone ahead in the voting & stop saying it's a fix. Spandau Ballet IS the greatest comeback because it's something us Spandau Ballet fans never tought we'd see in our lifetimes!

    Sorry, but when thousands of people are voting and the number isn't budging at all over 24 hours, there's something not right with the voting system. The fact that a band is pre-booked says it all. Mr Branson or his spokespersons can you explain this?

    Well if the Specials vote has gone down again it can only mean one thing - that other bands are getting more votes - it's not rocket science or a fix.
    Simple.

    People why cry 'FIX!' are only fooling themselves. Honestly,everybody's voting for who they want to win-and yes,it is disheartening when you see your beloved band get behind in the votes-we had a time where Spandau Ballet were suddenly behind The Specials and we couldn't seem to catch up no matter how much we voted! There is no 'fix'. People are voting and the votes are being represented. It's a close run race. Keep taking pride in the band you support and keep voting-you've got until the 29th,so stop looking for conspiracy theories and cast your votes!
