One of the great things about 2006 is that it is the 10th anniversary of SPICEMANIA. Summer 96 was when Wannabe got to No.1 and Changed Pop Forever.



How better than to celebrate than with an BIG POLL? How about with a big poll and a great pop song! "Take Me Home", a link to which won't appear in this post, is the B-Side of "Say You'll Be There" (I think, botherd if not), and starts off with one of the Spices imitating Tricky (!) and then turns into a bit of a 'dark' number. Very good record, if you don't already know it.


[Poll #656277]

Well I'd give the 'credit' there more to their predecessors Boyzone really - Westlife took all they had from them surely. And Take That and the Spice Girls DID dabble in stool-pop at least.

maybe we should be saying it was Fuller and Cowell who changed Pop, but that would be dull.

maybe 'Love Ain't Here Anymore' by TT for the Westlife precedent.
