I love how on a prog forum people automatically are chill about this. Some guy said a death metal forum would be bad, well yeah, but the thing is, even on a mainstreamer forum people will either be like "wtf, are you kidding?" or "omg, I luv the Spice Girls!"

We own.

My vote goes to "Viva Forever" because of the name.

I'm personally a fan of Who Do You Think You Are - I'm doing an arrangement of it for Big Band for comedy value at our concerts.

I'm proud to say that I don't remember hearing ANY of these options.

That was an excellent homage to 70's disco, as was 'Never Give Up On The Good Times' in their second album "Spice World", only with an added Latin flavor. But yes, everything's so perfectly vintage pop-disco in 'Who Do You Think You Are?' - the way Geri Halliwell delivers the initial lines is justs legendary, rough, sexy, sarcastic yet seductive. Funny how the least technically trained of the Spice Girls could provide some of the most memorable moments in their best songs. And don't get me started with her Union Jack dress... the very personification of in-your-face sexyness in pop music.
 
   Kind regcards.

Well... to speak frankly I don't care for SPICE GIRLS, but I am a HUGE FAN of SWING OUT SISTER.
 
Their last 2 albums SOMEWHERE DEEP IN THE NIGHT and WHERE OUR LOVE GROWS were exceptional. Their keyboard player ANDY CONNELL is very accomplished. These 2 albums were a blend of cinematic strings, soul and jazzy 60's pop. Highly melodic, moody and melancholic sounds....
 
The new one is about to come out. It's called BEAUTIFUL MESS.

'Wannabe' is the ultimate truck-driver song, according to Homer Simpson.

I like the one that jumps from 8/9 to 22.6/5....the lyrics speak of the theory of relativity...there's a 13 minute moog solo....which am I thinking of?

I just remembered 2 become 1 is my favorite song! I remembered a long time ago after I watched the video on the last page, but I think I just came out of my stupor.

Actually, there are time shifts in 'The Lady is a Vamp'... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqfVzULalcM, but no, no Moog solo.

So, it’s clear that ‘2 Become 1’ is the absolute winner. Here’s that memorable video (not made in NY, but using it as a string visual background): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFA6LlaWbJc

Don’t miss the Towers… they will never be forgotten.

 

Here’s a live rendition of ‘2 Become 1’ in their 2007-8 tour: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLR3oJ6z-1w

 

And here’s Paul Gilbert’s rock version (soon to be re-titled as ‘3 Become 1’) of this very ballad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84l3AvsShwc

  

Thank you for voting! And also to those who are yet to vote!…

I have to pass on that. I never heard anything of them (at least not knowingly; it is quite possible that a song of them was playing somewhere while I was there too). I don't watch music channels on TV, and the radio, which is running almost 24/7 here, is set to WDR 3 permanently, where they will definitely never play them. they play classical, jazz, ethnic music and (very rarely) prog there
