Take That - all round quality, top tunes, and led by hunky Gary. My all time faves.

S Club 7 - quite simply, these guys had EVERYTHING, from quality minge to catchy pop numbers.

Westlife - I defy anyone not to be moved by the cute Irish crooners.

Only just seen this, shouldn't really laugh but...

U2
Manic Street Preachers
Radiohead
The Smiths
The Rolling Stones

In no order.

Peter and the Test Tube Babies got a mention earlier, Peter is a good friend of mine and whilst they did produce some good stuff they couldn't do it consistently and he would probably agree with that.
