The Spice Girls were a British (English) GirlGroup who played a huge role in forming the 1990s for young girls across the globe. With songs mostly written and produced by Richard Stannard and Matt Rowe, their sound was created to appeal to preteens and teenagers alike, using familiar riffs and somewhat suggestive lyrics. As a result, not only were they able to easily break through to the American market, but the group can also be credited as a major factor in shifting the tide in TheNineties from alternative rock to teen pop music (later solidified by boy bands and BritneySpears).

The quite intentionally tailored FiveManBand consisted of [[TheHero Geri Halliwell]], [[TheLancer Melanie Brown]], [[TheChick Emma Bunton]], [[TheBigGuy Melanie Chisholm]] and [[TheSmartGuy Victoria Beckham (née Adams)]]. Despite most European pop bands finding it difficult to break into American mainstream, The Spice Girls' very first single, "Wannabe", shot straight to number one in more than 30 countries, including the United States.

The fact the band didn't release any covers as singles helped as well.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: Seriously, they were marketed to (and incredibly popular with) preteen girls, but most of their songs were very thinly veiled [[IntercourseWithYou metaphors for sex.]] Some that instantly spring to mind? "Naked", "2 Become 1", "If You Can't Dance", "Holler"...
