To understand the impact that the Spice Girls had, you really had to be in the UK from around the mid 90`s onwards to experience their impact. They were always on TV, in the newspapers and the kids were always talking about them and teenage girls often identified themselves with each member of the band. They could be described as a crappy fad, but they did kick off a whole genre of manufactured girl bands and for that reason will always be remembered.
I don`t know why you mentioned the Wilson sisters in this debate, these were clearly female rocksters who fronted a rock band much like Joan Jett and Pat Benatar etc.

There were no other all female groups anything like the Spice Girls here in the UK, the only other popular females bands before them, were bands like Bananarama and Fuzzbox etc but you could hardly call these bands manufactured.
