Seeing as it seems to be quite the rage with the Roses and the Mondays, it was all looking good
Until now. Six music are presently playing the new single by....
The Levellers.
They've got an album coming out! Dear God! Its bloody awful! As bad, or worse than you'd expect. Please, please make it stop! 🙁
Your nominations for a band who's members you would actually murder if they threatened to re-form, go on tour and get their woeful noise play-listed on six music
Where's my gun?
On the plus side, I hear Ugly Kid Joe are working on an EP as a prequel to a full return, which I am actually looking forward to.....
Showing my age a bit there...... 😉
I used to quite like The Levellers but then I did once own 1/6 of a Bedford Sherpa van and each of us painted our 1/6 with whatever we wanted. Maybe there is a bit of crusty in me.
"There's only one
Levellers song
And this is it this is it this is it"
And my nomination would be Milli Vanilli 🙂
Oasis...
And if only Coldplay would split up....
Speaking of which..
Whatever happend to [i]makecoldplayhistory[/i] on here ❓
I think I must black that kind of thing out, I can't think of any.
Really sorry about Whitney Houston tho, cos we now have to hear her dreadful version of that song belted out on every news report.
The only consolation being that Dolly Parton will be raking in the royalties (she buys books for poor children).
Roses and the Mondays!
The Beatles. The two talented ones are dead.
The Levellers have never split up, which invalidates their entry on the 'Bands that Should Never Reform' list ...
But still, I wish they'd stop making records, they're awful* 🙂
(*standard interwebs caveat: "IMO")
I went out with a girl who'd been seeing one of the Levellers and I always felt a bit odd about it
Anyway, had they split?
Reformed bands are never that good are they.
Apart from the nostalgia factor
The Levellers never actually [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levellers_(band) ]split up, it says here[/url]. They probably just ended up playing gigs to five stoned crusties and a dog for a decade or so. I have to confess to having a soft spot for them, I was a fan when I was 15, and they're so earnest, so very, very earnest, bless 'em. Wouldn't want to listen to their records again though, heavens no.
I was going to nominate The Cranberries as the band that shouldn't be allowed to reform, but apparently I'm too late, they got back together in 2009. God I **** hate The Cranberries.

As a rule I agree, but I saw Pulp last year, and they were absolutely bloody marvellous.
I saw pulp last year too and it was a sing-a-long nostalgia fest
God, the Levellers. Time to go to the bar everytime they played that shit "down the Poly"!
Easier to avoid this time.
Did I just read someone getting excited about new Ugly Kid Joe music.. 😆
I hate loads of bands, so can't pin it down to one I would get upset about...
Reformed bands are never that good are they.
I saw Faith No More at Donington a couple of years ago, and they kicked bottom.
Reformed bands are never that good are they.
I saw Faith No More when they reformed and they were awesome.
I quite liked the Cranberries.
However, if I never hear another Spandau Ballet song, I won't be disappointed.
I had the 'pleasure' of seeing Roxy Music at Bestival. Is it me, or does Bryan Ferry sound like Vic Reeves' club singer?
B*witched

Wash your mouth! I'll not have that fine band of denim-dressed Irish lovelies knocked!

True?

Now we're in to the realms of bands that should never have formed, never mind re-form ...
The Jimi Hendrix Experience...

The Beatles. The two talented ones are dead.
Paul McCartney: "I couldn't have put it better myself, John."
John Lennon: "Yeah, I know."
I saw pulp last year too and it was a sing-a-long nostalgia fest
Yeah, fair enough. Bloody marvellous sing-a-long nostalgia fest, though.
I think most of them [i]have[/i] reformed, it's just that the world didn't care.
But I'd be [b]really[/b] happy if Blur would just f off into the distance and not come back. If Damon could also make sure that the ex-Mrs Damon's terrible Elastica followed to the Great Indy Landfill, that'd be splendid.
Oh, and Damon? Take Gorillaz with you as well, eh, and The Bad, The Worse And The Whiny while you're at it.
Go on, f off back to Colchester, you git.
I'm not even going to talk about The Darkness.

Worth it tho, just to stress the point.. 😉

Not sure about Justin's new look, but they were rather good on the comeback tour late last year..... part of me still thinks he should have carried on with Hot Leg..... awaits new album with interest before passing final judgement.
+1 for Oasis

Don't worry, one of them is now providing backing vocals for Whitney.
Please don't let REM reform, they had run their once brilliant course.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
They're all dead. 😥
Black Sabbath!
Dexys, oops, too late....
Please don't let REM reform, they had run their once brilliant course.
Someone texted in to 6 music to say that when they heard REM had split up it was like hearing someone you thought had died 10 years ago had just died.
Pink floyd.
Droning, depressing 70s bollocks that was crap then and still crap now. The only reason so many people like them is because most people are, by nature, dull.
The Levellers - there's only one way of life and that's your own. Sung in unison by 30,000 people in a field
Reforms arnt all bad. I nearly wet a little when i heard at the drive in and refused were back! Just need some UK dates now....
Reformed bands are never that good are they.
Not true. I've seen the reformed Big Country twice in the last 12 months and they've been amongst the best gigs I've seen in years.
Bewitched.....too bloody awful for words
But I'd be really happy if Blur would just f off into the distance and not come back. If Damon could also make sure that the ex-Mrs Damon's terrible Elastica followed to the Great Indy Landfill, that'd be splendid.
Oh, and Damon? Take Gorillaz with you as well, eh, and The Bad, The Worse And The Whiny while you're at it.

Really don't like music very much, do you.
Elastica? Are you old enough to even remember them? They were great live, saw them a couple of times, but no-one has ever suggested they are likely to reform. Blur are a much better band with more musical facets than most of their contemporaries, Gorillaz a good fun, and Damon's other sidelines are at least musical and don't rely on identikit sampled beats and featureless autotuned vocals, like most of what gets played on Radio 1 and Kiss FM.
Go on, admit it, you don't like Albarn and Blur because you think he's posh and you're an inverted snob.
I think bands should only be allowed to reform if they are the same weight as when they started. I'm thinking New Order in particular.
I wish Janes Addiction hadn't reformed and I know it was ages ago but They were ace and now I can't distinguish them from U2 now. Some bands just have there time and should be remembered for the good times a bit like one off tv shows that don't get milked to death.
C'Mon Lennon did some toss once Yoko got the claws in him. A couple of classics swamped by dross imho. And then, no offense being dead means your ability to to do worse (or better) disappears. Funny how edgy folk are always seen as talented while anyone who tries to be pleasant/normal is rubbish. I personally feel L&M had equal amounts of good and bad.
The Levellers never split up- they just went into festival management. Good move in my book.
