Subject: Best Spice Girls Song of The 90's

Written By: Dave Brown on 03/03/05 at 3:57 pm

I love "Wannabe", Say You'll Be There", "2 Become 1", "Too Much", "Spice Up Your Life", "Viva Forever" and "Stop" as singles. My favourite songs not have been released as singles would have to be "Love Thing" (from the "Spice" album) and "Never Give Up On The Good Times" (from the "Spiceworld" album".)

None of them! Spice Girls, with the Backstreet Boys, ruined radio music forever!

I always thought Say You'll Be There is a great '90s song. I also like Mama, which is also on their first album.

Yeah SPICE UP YOUR LIFE... that was great! The club mixes were phenomenal too - real crowd pleasers!

Out of the list I chose Viva Forever. Not a big fan of the girls but they had a few good ones.

"Who Do You Think You Are" was also left off the list. That was okay at the time...

I find it strage how the last Spice Girls album didn't make a BIG spasl in the States.  Both 'Holler' and 'Let Love Lead the Way' were sold separately in North America, the former which bubbled under Billboard at US #107, the latter not charting at all

I wonder how their re-grouping will fare in the US?

I chose 2 Become 1, but I was never a big enough Spice Girls fan to know most of the others. (Well, except the massively, IMO, overplayed Wannabe)

My guess is not well as the music media (ie shisty ClearChannel) likes to focus on the flavour of the month and Spice Girls have already been tasted.  It's weird here; the media and consumers for the most part will eat up the trash that saturates the Top 40 (ie Soulja Boy) but when it comes to something from former superstars like Tears For Fears and Duran Duran, they don't reach the same caliber of popularity.  It'll be interesting to see how D2's Red Carpet Massacre sells, as Timbaland did some work on it, and I hope it does better than Twitney's Blackout, but I doubt it.  ::)

I have always loved 'Say You'll Be There' the most from the beginning. I LOVED the video, and wanted to be Mel C. (Sporty Spice) SO BAD in it.
