Spice Girls formed in 1995 Bananarama in 1981.
I never said they weren't releasing records, I was implying the Spice Girls were the first real pure pop band to have success on a worldwide level since Bananarama came along in 1981.
As for Eternal I think this is the 5th time now I said I wasn't including R&B in that.

And then it is claimed that The Spice Girls are important as they had some copycat groups. Well acts that sell records always have other groups who follow them, doesn't mean that they or those who follow them are that significant. But it was also said here that they couldn't repeat what The Spice Girls did. So does that mean they are irrelevant then? You can't have it both ways and say it is important these groups followed them and then say they weren't actually any good.

They changed the demographic of signing boy bands to signing girl bands after the industry consensus was that girl pop groups (Not R&B girl bands) were dead. That was the only argument I was making. I didn't say they were important I just said they paved the way, which they clearly did.
