Take That
As much as I was appreciative to the Arctic Monkeys for being able to pull off Come Together positively, how better would it have been had Take That executed the same song on stage. Easily much more widely known than the Arctic Monkeys, I'm sure Robbie Williams and co would've blew the roof on fire had they taken the stage in Stratford. Having beaten legendary rock band The Beatles themselves to the Greatest Boy Band Ever Crown in 2008, the world would've seen living legends performing to mark the start of the world's most known, major international tournament. It's not over yet though, fully expect the Manchester originated boy-band to play a huge role in the closing ceremony. But just how great would it have been had they had a part in opening their home Olympic games...
