November 27, 2009 Edition 1

LONDON: The British public would most like to see Swedish band ABBA reform, more than they would any other act, a survey has revealed.

PRS for Music, the organisation that collects royalties on behalf of composers and songwriters, said that a quarter of the 1 500 people surveyed favoured an ABBA reunion. In second place was home act Police, followed by Pink Floyd and The Smiths in equal third place.

ABBA performed in public for the last time in 1982.

The following is a list of the top 10 bands the British public would most like to see back in action:

ABBA (25 percent); The Police (13); Pink Floyd (11); The Smiths (11); Oasis (10); The Jam (9); Dire Straits (8); The Clash (6); Spice Girls (4); Sex Pistols (3). - Reuters
