Spice Girls (maybe) planning a 20th Anniversary something.

I don't think I'd go to see the Spice Girls if they played. I was a fan of them as a kid and I went to see them on their reunion tour (not that I remember most of the show thanks to Strongbow Super and champagne), but I don't think I could be arsed with the crowd for yet another milking of their fame. I did enough dressing up as Baby Spice when I was younger too.

 

They meet the "song for the security to dance to" criteria though.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'd be up for it. Nuff belters in their repertoire. Stop is a neglected gem of a tune.

[Untz]

I bloody hate Stop. That song alone would keep me away from the Pyramid.

[The Nal]

Most of their songs would keep me away from the Pyramid. Time hasn't changed my attitude to them at all. They were soulless nonsense aimed at very young girls in the 90s and they're soulless nonsense aimed at very young girls today.

 

Field would be utterly jammed though.

[CaledonianGonzo]

If The Shirelles had done it in 1962 (albeit with less 1990s sheen) you'd be hearing it at every Northern Soul weekender the country over. It's the best song named Stop since Stop by Erasure (from the Crackers International EP).

[CaledonianGonzo]

Albeit the actual greatest modern day Motown girl group pastiche is The Promise by Girls Aloud.

You know the rules Gonzo:

Girl groups from 40 years ago = for grown men.

Girl groups from twenty years ago = for girls. Who smell and have cooties.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Strongbow Super! That takes me back.

[Untz]

Stop could be the best song ever written and I would still hate it with a passion. And that bloody dance too. Give me the Macarena any day.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Hoping they book Los Del Rio to close Glasto Latino.

[Untz]

Strongbow Super! That takes me back.

 

That stuff was lethal. Even worse than Brothers.

[Winslow Leach]

That stuff was lethal. Even worse than Brothers.

Surely not worse than K?

[Untz]

Surely not worse than K?

 

I've never had K. My favourite was some dirt cheap Lidl stuff. I drank a bottle of that, vomitted and napped before a party I had once. I came round and started back on it once the party got started. Great stuff.

Thunderbird was our teenage tipple of choice. Don't know if it still exists?

Now I love a bit of cheese but just something about the spice girls I couldn't stand, like lulu, just sets my teeth on edge. Now all saints...I loved them.

[The Nal]

Thunderbird was our teenage tipple of choice. Don't know if it still exists?

 

Urgh! Yeah it does. Didn't know you could get it outside of America. Or are you in America?

[slash's hat]

No, Gloucester! There was a little shop/offie down the road who sold anything to anyone, even cigarettes when you were in school uniform, they used to stock it.

[The Nal]

I had a few gulps of it in America years ago and almost immediately vomited. Which is saying something as I was a student and drinking 4 litres of Natural Ice beer a day back then.

 

Natural Ice beer either tastes very creamy and frothy or very flat and sour, depending on the can!

[slash's hat]

Don't think I could touch it now, or that 20/20 stuff eugh.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yeah - you can still get it in the UK.

Compared to Buckfast, it's a refreshing, effervescent beverage.

[russycarps]

The Faces are doing a one off gig...http://www.uncut.co.uk/news/the-faces-to-reunite-for-charity-gig-70055#4DdDZ9vHJtqwHMe1.99

 

It would be something special to see them in the ''Legends'' slot.

 

 

I'd take this! no ronnie and no mac but this would still be better than all the rest of the suggestions in this thread...barbara streisand? liza minelli?? fucking hell!

 

rod stewart had the best rock n roll voice of all time. 

 

This is wondrous

 

[Winslow Leach]

Buckfast ia what I imagine the soapy dregs left at the bottom of a mop bucket that's just been used to clean an industrial kitchen taste like after they've been left out in the sun for a week.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'd LOL if they booked the Faces for Glastonbury on the back of this and Mick Hucknall showed up instead of Rod.

[The Nal]

Did the Faces not "reunite" about 5 years ago but still haven't played a gig? Or recorded anything.
