Dire Straits make 7th in poll

[Banjo99uk]

PRS the same people who've just honoured DS held a poll in the UK to see which band they'd most like to see reform.

Top ten bands fans want to see reformed (where majority of members are still alive) are: 1, Abba; 2, The Police; 3, Pink Floyd; 4, The Smiths; 5, Oasis; 6. The Jam; 7.Dire Straits; 8, The Clash; 9, Spice Girls; 10, Sex Pistols

i think that is not bad at all, considering the ones that did not even make the list.
only thing that disturbs me is friggin smiths and oasis in front of our boys..

[localhero1986]

[Love Expresso]

Abba? Great music! They deserve it! Thank you for the music! The Winner Takes it all! Money Money Money! You know???

The spice burgers ,who in Gods name wants to look at posh spice's mug any longer than you have to - didnt they reform last year for half a tour or until they couldnt stand each other again
Su're the Police reformed 2 years ago for a world tour,I went to see them

As usual these polls are a load of b******!

I think this is pretty impressive. I guess people forgot about Led Zeppelin.

Abba had a load of brilliant singles.

I guess people don't realise that there's really no difference between an MK solo gig and a DS reunion.

[boboDS]

who in the world is the jam, oasis, and the smiths??
Abba? oh well,
but Pink floyd after The Police??

where is Phil C. and Genesis, I'm sure Dusty would love to seem them at 1st place

[dustyvalentino]

Ha, yes I forgot about Genesis.

I personally would love to see The Smiths live, although Morrissey puts on a very good solo show with Smiths material.

Not bothered about The Jam or Oasis, seen Oasis live twice and they are a very boring live band.

Jesus... Oasis have only been split for a couple of weeks 

DS Should be top of that list no doubt!!!

Another crappy poll of meaningless stupidity!!!!!

[qjamesfloyd]

The  Police shouldn't be on there as they have already reformed and toured!!

[dmg]

I just don't get what people see in Abba.  Catchy enough tunes but simple lyrics and no great musicianship, one can hardly say they're a great band.

Stupid list anyway 'cos some have already reformed as has already been said and Oasis have only just split!

[qjamesfloyd]

I couldn't dissagree more, the thing with ABBA is, its eay to think they are ordinary singers and musicians, but the more you hear them and watch them you realise that the girls were amazing singers, and the songs are very well written and intricate, and Benny and Bjorn are amazing musicians.

[Pottel]

amen to that.

[dustyvalentino]

You know, this is a bit embarassing, but I used to have a major crush on the blonde one out of Abba, I used to have all sorts of dirty fantasies and stuff.

I was gutted when he got married to Frida.

lol....
