That’s the question being asked by the money experts at The Times newspaper.With Duran Duran enjoying huge success since their reformation and Spandau Ballet hoping to do equally good business, the Times believes that 80s bands could be big money-spinners.
Their top vote for a comeback is Wham! Ah yes, how wonderful it would be to see Andrew Ridgeley wearing cheap Hawaiian shirts again while George Michael teases us by poking shuttlecocks down his shorts!
Number ten on the list is the one that struck my eye though - Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan. I wonder what odds Ladbrokes would give you on that duo getting back together?
The full list can be found over on The Times.

What a great band 10c were - and still are!10cc are predominantly associated with the ‘70s, when they had a string of hits such as Donna, Rubber Bullets, The Dean and I, The Wall Street Shuffle, Dreadlock Holiday and I’m Not In Love. All those hits and more are on a new collection, ‘The Very Best of 10cc’.
Not only are these really catchy, tuneful pop songs but the production quality of many of them - for example, the magisterial ‘Under Your Thumb’, ‘I’m Not In Love’ and ‘Cry’ set these songs apart from most of the other hits of the ‘70s.
While 10cc did carry on recording into the ‘80s, they never again had the huge success which they enjoyed in the previous decade. 10cc are on the road again this year (in a new lineup which, it has to be said, lacks the pivotal Godley and Creme). And this new collection is a great reminder of the remarkable musical achievements of this highly versatile group.
