Best Bands Of The Past 20 Years

90s chart toppers Boyzone and the Spice Girls have topped a poll asking members of the public to name the best UK music groups of the past 20 years.
 
Groupola.com commissioned a survey of more than 1,800 members of the public to collate the best British and Irish boybands and girl groups of the last two decades, having noticed a huge number of people searching on site for music related group buying discounts.

90s chart toppers The Spice Girls lead the pack, with more than four fifths of people saying they were amongst their favourite British girl groups of the last twenty years, beating Girls Aloud into second place.

Boyzone continued their 90s rivalry with boy band Take That, with just 2% of the public vote separating the two groups. X Factor runners up JLS are the most current of the top ten greatest boy bands, making the list at number three.
