Bloomberg reports:
Pink Floyd is the band that most fans would like to see reuniting, according to a survey by Music Choice Ltd., a U.K.-based digital broadcasting service.
About 5,000 took part in the online poll, and 26 percent wanted to see the group come back together, Music Choice said.
A long-term reunion of Pink Floyd, which has sold 250 million records, has been ruled out by founder Roger Waters even as other veteran acts reform, including the Police, the Stooges and the Who. Led Zeppelin is staging a charity concert on Nov. 26.
``When Zeppelin announced the gig, we wanted to see just who else would be a smash hit,'' Andrew Jeffries, Music Choice's programming director, said in an e-mail. ``Although we knew Pink Floyd might be a contender, we never dreamed they'd be top.''
The next most popular choice in the survey was the Swedish pop act Abba, wanted to reunite by 19 percent of those taking part, and rockers Guns N' Roses, with 16 percent.
The survey also asked which band should split up, with 22 percent opting for the Spice Girls, who start a world tour in December. They were followed by more boy and girl bands: Westlife (16 percent) and Girls Aloud (8.8 percent). Music Choice said the survey would remain open until Sept. 30.
