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?

    With little genuine musical talent around today its no wonder that the sucessful groups from the past are returning. With higher sales of recordings and sell out tours it prove that groups from the past are far more talented than the rubbish that pollutes the recording industry today.

    Well I wish The Beyond (early 90s melodic metal band from Derby, signed to EMI) would reform. only problem is more or less no one knows who there are, I expect the band themselves have forgotten they existed...
    ...and Wolfbane's temporary reformation at the end of 2007 was the best gig I've ever seen. New album please!
