an untalented manufactured pop band from Britain. They heralded the end of good music in early 1997 (when they were first heard in the U.S.A.)and sparked off the shitty corporate "teen pop" phenomenae that continues to pollute the airwaves today. My mom claims that rock'n'roll was destroyed by the British invasion (ala the Beatles)but she is wrong, wrong, wrong. Good music was destroyed by the British alright but it wasn't the Beatles who spoiled the party - no, not at all. It was the fucking Spices Girls! Also, their bimboness set back sexual equality by years.
