Crikey readers WITHOUT CLICKING can you guess which member of Take That is NOT reforming for the reunion tour.

Who should they get in to perform his BITS?

And oh why not....

Obvious comment to say ALL THOSE SONGS ARE GOOD (except 1million love songs = Barlow fodder). Come on, vote for EVERYTHING CHANGES! And everything! etc etc. MARK 4EVS.

Given my recent (ish) POP CONVERSION (ish) I was really expecting to like some of the songs when I watched that docu the other day. But I still thought they were dreadful :( I only like girlbands = I am the POP LESBIAN!

I also require an 'ALL THOSE SONGS ARE GOOD except 1 million love songs' tickybox.

It Only Takes A Minute might just edge it for that fantastic opening synth line.

But also, WHERE are Could It Be Magic/Relight My Fire? pfft.

Anyone ever see them live? Was dragged* by a friend to see them at Earl's Court=REVELATION. Best thing EVAH.



*this was about 1994. Me=enormo music snob in the worst student/muso way possible.

My favourite ridiculous boyband lyric:

'Most of my friends were strangers ... when I met them'

Great song tho'

The funny thing about the That is that circa their peak was probably also the peak of my indie-ism, and yet I could never bring myself to hate them even then, was never under any illusion that Pray and Back For Good and Never Forget were brilliant songs.

I have no idea why, but I can never seem to type anything in any of the comments boxes thing, so I can't admit that my favourite boy band was 5ive. And I probably shouldn't, except that I just did.

This must mean Mark Owen's disappointed with only selling 7 copies of his rather good "How The Mighty Fall" elpee.

I thought that "Four Minute Warning" was a good song.

I think if I actuallly sat down and considered it either jason or howard would be my favourite, but since the age of eight or so when my group of friends was split equally down the middle on the mark v robbie question I became a Mark girl, and so I have remained.

Also, were nsync not my favourite non-J boyband 5ive would be, because they were about at the height of my rockism and yet I could not but wuv them.

SMUG
