Never mind the bollocks, the Spice Girls were great
The Spice Girls are making a new video, preparing for their reunion tour and have updated their website. We don't have time for the Becks-Posh ridiculousness and erased the new season of Dancing with The Stars from the TiVo after Wayne Newton got voted off, but back in the Nineties, the Spice Girls were one of the best pop acts in the world. Their singles were perfect, their cartoon image very cool, their message positive and their videos really watchable.
The Spice Girls not only were tops of Britpop and helped lead the Cool Britannia movement that made London fun for about eighteen months, but alongside Oasis and Blur made the best music the decade had to offer, with a first album (left) that certainly ranks among the Top 100 in pop history (though their second CD disappointed).
Check out their revamped website (and check out their individual solo work, which you probably haven't heard if you're in the States).
