I do see your point and I assumed on starting this thread some would think it was some attempt at coming across as Ironic. Its not. I really believe some of the music was rather excellent. You could attribute their success to marketing (and that probebly is the biggest reason) but their influence and legacy goes far and beyond the standard manufactured Boy/Girl group thing. The Spice Girls were such a big phenomena that if you were a kid in the late 90's it consumed 2 or 3 years, it was unavoidable. This is why many of us can't help but look back to The Spice Girls with a sense of nostagia. It was the music of our childhood. Does this mean the music is good? I'm not in a position to judge. For me the music goes beyond that and I suppose being that quite a few people on this board are about my age, that was the intention of the thread.
