It seriously amuses me that I've never heard of the majority of those bands xD

I have to say that I hated Westlife with a passion. Backstreet boys aren't bad, Take That is the biggest name on there for me but I only ever liked some of their stuff. In general I just don't like the manufactured boy band sound. Blue were pretty cool at first, their first few singles had a really individual sound but then they started sounding like every other boyband ever and became very boring : /

Why'd you hate on Westlife?

Lol, mainly because the "main" singer reminded me very strongly of my then boyfriend's older brother who we'd had a huge falling out with :lol: But I never did like their sound, that guy reminding me of Gareth just gave me even more reason not to like them :ninja:

Oh okay. I don't know who their lead singer is. I only own one album ^^

I don't know his name, he's just the dark-haired smug asshole that's usually in the middle in pictures xD

Yea I don't know who he is ^^ I just can't wait for the next Backstreet Boys album to come out and then they're gonna tour with NKOTB. Ahhhh...it's crazy, but then again I'll remain a 90s kid for life!

You don't have Bros on your list! :lol: I remember them totally expecting to be huge in the US and failing miserably, that was funny :lol: Being megastars in the UK does NOT guarantee success anywhere else xD

Yeaaah I don't know Bros ^^

I'm not sure if you should be grateful or not :lol: I shall subject you to some! Bros were late 80s rather than 90s,as the fashion will show xD

Their first single...



and some follow-ups





Enjoy! :lol:

Noooo. *ear balls ignite*

Wait, what?

I can't see the last two videos because of the damn copyright thing the U.S. imposed.

It's just awful. x3 I didn't listen past the first one.
They actually are VERY 80s, even if it was late 80s.

Oh...well...uh this is a 90s thread ^^;;

They did last into the 90s, but they were pretty dire xD Those copywrite things annoy me : /

I can't watch half the international stuff I want to see! ;_; Damn infringement laws.

At least not being able to watch Bros videos is more of a mercy than anything else xD

Ok I'll take your word for it.

Haha, Jelly, it really is! I think I listened to all of a minute before I was over it.

I have been meaning to add stuff to my Pandora and this thread reminded me of some stuff that might be fun to add! :P

What other bands do you guys think count as being on this list?

Apart from Blue I can't really think of any others. But thankfully a lot of boy bands passed me by without me knowing about their existence :lol:

Hopefully you'll be able to watch these! They kept going into the noughties, but they really sounded very American and manufactured by then, they'd lost any kind of individuality.

Wait are these the dudes that did Blue (Da Ba Dee)?

No wait, that's Eiffel 65.

I think they count though.

SO it's been on the DL for a while but now it's official.

NKOTBSB — News

New Kids On The Block and Backstreet Boys will be touring together next year.



Whatchu know about that?

This was in my head for the past couple of days.


Who remembers Jordan Knight's "Give It To You"? It's from 1999 and is also featured on "Darrin's Dance Grooves."
I loveee the 90s clothes here.

There's been a LOT of press for Backstreet Boys and New Kids On The Block this week. From appearing on the Ryan Seacrest show, Entertainment Tonight, a USTREAM live interview, and much MUCH more, it seems like it's the right time to request them back on the radio again!

A funny bit of triva about the Jordan Knight song "Give it to You". I remember he performed at the Kid's Choice awards and they bleeped the words "Some" and "Bed". Now... the whole song is about sex, and either the kids like the song and know the lyrics, or they don't, but taking out the words will make the innocent ones ask their parents why. Heh.
