Seven 90s acts we want to see perform again

"It was probably the best times of our lives" - All Saints look back at the height of their fame

The girls reminisce on being signed by Pete Tong and performing on Top of The Pops

To celebrate on Radio 2 we got thinking about some of the most memorable acts of the decade that we'd love to see get back together.

Kate caught up with the ever brilliant All Saints, but it's not just them - Steps are performing at and TLC have been playlisted by Radio 2 in 2017.

So if these three acts can make comebacks then the field is open for anyone to step back into the mainstream. Here are seven 90s bands we wish would do just that.

Ace of Base

Swedish four-piece Ace Of Base are responsible for some of the best remembered pop hits of the 90s, many of which still sound fresh today. All That She Wants, The Sign, and Life is a Flower remain firm favourites.

The band went on hiatus in 2003 but returned with two new female singers in 2010, though they failed to repeat the success they experienced in the 90s.

Ace Of Base have been quiet since 2012 and there's currently no news on a reunion.

Oasis

Why did Liam Gallagher get spooked in a Welsh recording studio?

Nothing says 90s more than Britpop and nothing says Britpop more than Oasis. We could reel off hit after hit, Wonderwall, Roll With It, and Live Forever jump straight to mind. We've seen a plethora of 90s indie bands reform over recents years; Pulp, Blur, and Suede to name but a few, however Oasis remain firmly separated.

Liam and Noel Gallagher were two of the biggest personalities in British music for more than a decade but they had a tumultuous sibling relationship.

There has been plenty of speculation over a possible reunion for many years, but Liam has said that Noel is the Gallagher brother stopping it happening.

"If they want the band to get back together they’ll have to ask our kid." he told Radio X in 2016.

"I think the minute people stop asking him, he’ll go ‘what? Are they getting bored of me now?’

"So then he’ll get the band back together. So don’t ask him anymore."

Robson & Jerome

Robson & Jerome have certainly gone down in history as one of the most popular acts of the 90s. Having shot to fame in the hit drama Soldier Soldier they then turned from the camera to the microphone.

Their cover of Unchained Melody was the biggest selling single of 1995, the start of a short but successful, multi-million selling career, and the track even kept Pulp's anthem Common People from the No.1 spot in the charts.

They released two albums and now both Robson Green and Jerome Flynn have successful acting careers independent of each other and cover versions.

Shampoo

Shampoo's time in the pop world was short but sweet, much like their music.

They scored a huge hit with their single Trouble but ask any pop fan from the 90s and they'll tell you Viva La Megababes and Delicious should be held in equally high esteem.

Jacqui and Carrie scored a string of UK hits in the mid-90s but made their money in Japan, where they were absolutely massive.

They disappeared from the mainstream, and we imagine are living happily off their pop memories from one of our favourite decades.

*NSync

(Warning: Third party video may contain adverts)

It's been four years since Justin Timberlake released a solo album so instead of hoping for a follow up to that, then maybe we should be looking elsewhere for our next JT fix.

*NSync were one of the biggest boybands of the 90s with hits such as Bye Bye Bye, Pop and Girlfriend and Justin's solo music has carried their pop / R&B sounds into today's mainstream.

But it seems a reunion is highly unlikely, despite JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone and Lance Bass joining Justin on stage at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards for a performance, with Lance saying after the show that there were no plans for new music or a tour.

Savage Garden

(Warning: Third party video may contain adverts)

Australian duo Savage Garden sold 23 million copies of their two albums and were responsible for a handful of unforgettable pop hits - including Truly Madly Deeply, but Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones split in 2011 and have never worked together since.

Darren has scored several solo hits since the end of Savage Garden, but there's no news on any plans for the two musicians to perform together again.

Westlife

(Warning: Third party video may contain adverts)

Westlife burst onto the pop world at the end of the 90s, dropping their debut single Swear It Again in 1999 and summed up everything we all loved about boybands in that era. They sold over 50 million records worldwide, and achieved a whopping 14 No.1 hits in the UK alone.

They were the masters of the key change and standing up from their stools at the perfect moment during a performance.

Four of the band (Shane Filan, Brian McFadden, Mark Feehily and Nicky Byrne) have worked on solo music since the band, among various reality TV and talent show roles for all five of the band.

We're waiting to see if Westlife will reunite though there's nothing to tell us it will happen soon.
