The 10 Most Anticlimactic Band Reunions of All Time

The Spice Girls just announced that they're getting back together and touring again, which (somehow) got us wondering, which is the lamest band reunion of all time? 10. Backstreet Boys (2005) After a three-year hiatus in which you just couldn't walk down the street without hearing people ask "when are the Backstreet Boys getting back together??", the men reunited in 2005 to re-invent popular music with a powerful statement album / disc-shaped piece of poop called Never Gone. They're still together to this day, though they're down to four members, meaning their Hazmat-suit-choreographer has had to completely reconfigure their dance routines. 9. The Spice Girls (2007) Music aside, I didn't have any conscious complaints a decade ago when five pretty hot British chicks were jumping around in skimpy clothing and yelling strings of Phillip Glass gibberish at music video cameras. That was then. Now, we have the (American but hotter) equivalent with the Pussycat Dolls, and unless the two groups are planned to square off in an Old West-meets-You Got Served- meets-Where The Boys Aren't kind of kinky lesbian showdown, I see little reason to be excited about the Gals' recent announcement. 8. A Flock of Seagulls (2003) Leaning on three hit songs (albeit great ones), Flock of Seagulls sent ripples across the universe when they reunited in 2003 to play the world's most prestigious gig - the unveiling of the Syracuse A-league soccer team's name, the "Syracuse Salty Dogs." How many soccer team mascot-unveilings have the Rolling Stones played at? You can find the answer in my novel, "Why Flock of Seagulls Are Better Than The Rolling Stones In Every Area Where It Matters." 7. The Eagles (1994) Can you really say "Hell has frozen over" if it's something no one gives a sh*t about? Yes, The Eagles reuniting was unexpected, but that's like saying "Wow, they're making a sequel to the movie K-PAX?? I never would have expected that!! Hell has truly frozen over!" 6. The Pixies (2003) Almos
