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?

    Money talks once again. I can't see a market for old men trying to recapture their youth - it's over.

    Let's hope it's a massive flop like the Boyzone reunion.

    btw: Van Halen didn't reform, they never broke up they sacked Sammy Hagar and got the original vocalist David Lee Roth back on board.

    I was sooooooooooooo in love with these guys especially Donnie. i would be great to see them if they did do a reunion tour. I was in love with these from the age of 11 until I was 14/15. Now i am 31 it would be great just to be taken back to my youth
