Who was the greatest Boy Band of the 90s?

[Jinx]

The most important poll we've had in The Lounge in a long time.

[Freya]

N*sync. Justin Timberlake came form them and he's still going strong. No one made a great solo career form BBB :colbert:

[Elskidor]

Backstreet Boys!!!

Yeah, but this isn't about solo careers, this is about the epicness of the boys and their music.


I don't really care for any of them, but BSB had catchier tunes, lol. Timberlake still annoys the hell out of me.

[Pike]

I don't really care for any of them, but BBB had catchier tunes

+1

[Jinx]

Why do you guys keep saying BBB? It's BSB. xD

[Elskidor]

That's an even better question than the question at hand. A new thread is in order to resolve this issue.

[Calliope]

Oasis

[Denmark]

Radiohead
Rage Against the Machine

[NorthernChaosGod]

Bands the play instruments.

[NeoCracker]

Bands the play instruments.

Well yeah, they are clearly better, but they are hardly boy bands if they play instruments so they don't' count.

[Mirage]

nsync mother fuckers

[Miriel]

nsync mother fuckers

This is the right answer. BSB was always second best to NSYNC!

[noxious.sunshine]

No way. BSB all the way!

I mean, the collective hotness of BSB was (& still -is- actually, for the most part) greater than that of N*Stync's. I mean c'mon. Yeah. Justin Timberlake with his white boi jewfro or whatever, but that's really all they had going for them. Joey looked like a creepy old dude, J.C. was just ok, and Lance looks like a confused guppy fish. And the braids dude. Can't even remember his name. Yeah. He looked like one of those Puli dogs, but worse. I think I'm forgetting about one. But whatever.

XD And besides, in all of the BSB albums that I had, there really wasn't any song that I -didn't- like except on that Black & Blue cd 'cuz god 1/2 of those songs sucked hard whereas the N*Stync albums there were -maybe- 1 or 2 I liked on each one. Plus every now and then BSB comes out with new stuff that ain't always bad.

2ge+her!

[Pike]

Oasis


Radiohead
Rage Against the Machine

I like BSB better than all of these combined and I'm not a huge BSB fan :shifty:

[Madame Adequate]

Ahaha those aren't boy bands Denmark and Calliope

BSB is great N*Sync is better

e; Steph made a convincing argument and I changed my mind, N*Sync is great BSB is better.

[noxious.sunshine]

Omg 2Ge+her... I loved that movie.

there's been rumors of a reunion w a tv show or something.

I was listening to "calculus" the other day haha.

[Night Fury]

Erm, why isn't Hanson in this poll? :colbert:

[Pheesh]

They've still got it as well

Y-M4o-5IYwo

[fire_of_avalon]

Because, Locky. They weren't the powerhouse of devouring teenage girl hormones.

Why do you guys keep saying BBB? It's BSB. xD
YOU TELL THEM.


nsync mother smurfers

This is the right answer. BSB was always second best to NSYNC!
Miriel, we used to be friends. Now, I just don't know what we are, because I can't befriend someone who can be so blindly, objectively wrong.

My enduring love for the Backstreet Boys pales in comparison to that of my best friend's, but I will support and defend them until the very end for two reasons - I have a very bizarre sense of loyalty and A.J. McLean was, hands down, the most talented vocalist of the 90s boyband era. *spikes football*

[Denmark]

Ahaha those aren't boy bands Denmark and Calliope

they're bands whose members are all boys

pls explain

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

98 degrees! Lol yeah right.

Backstreet Boys for shore. I enjoyed the fact that they performed at the end of This Is The End.

[noxious.sunshine]

AJ is secksy as chuck though. Omg. His voice is the most like original out of the group's cuz it's all raspy and junk & it just has a whole diff sound than the other guys'.

There's worse than 98 Degrees tho. LMNT (w Matthew Morrison from Glee), O Town (the Ashley dude did the voice of Alex in Lunar Silver Star Story), LFO, and some other group. I have the song in my head, but I cant think of the name.

Also Westlife was pretty bad.

Hanson's isnt rly a boy band. They play their own instruments.

[Night Fury]

5ive.

[Pike]

I have decided to change my answer:

Bkj80FMmFjM

[Elskidor]

Boyz II Men would also be considered a boy band of the 90's, and I guess it depends on who you ask because I recall Hanson being right up there getting lumped in there as a boy band too.

[Freya]

Ugh bsb songs sucked compared to nsync. They were sappy and lame. Nysnc was fun and poppy! You guys are all lame vsb fans. I made fun of you in elementary

[Hollycat]

Does Smash mouth fit this category, because if so, then Smash Mouth.

[escobert]

Backstreets back! Alright!

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

I just sat and watched the whole Numa Numa song, Pike. I kept waiting for it to turn into a gay porno.

[Shiny]

2ge+her!

I just looked on Wiki to see where they are now, and was shocked to see that one of them passed away in 2001! Wow, I didn't know that. So young too. What a shame. :(

[noxious.sunshine]

Yeah, it was sad. They were gonna do a 2nd movie but broke up after he passed away

[NorthernChaosGod]

Ugh bsb songs sucked compared to nsync. They were sappy and lame. Nysnc was fun and poppy! You guys are all lame vsb fans. I made fun of you in elementary

How do you compare shit and more shit?

How do you compare trout and more trout?

By comparing the shape of your heart.

[Rocket Edge]

Backstreet Boys had some good ballads. I can't really remember any other band from the 90's.

[Rantz]

So I felt like listening to As Long as You Love Me and googled for it. I got zero BSB results and about 10 different Bieber results. Now I don't dislike Bieber or anything - I nothing him, and I know he's popular and all. But come on. COME ON. :colbert:


5ive.

qZUn-KtTNmA

Seriously though, this is the actual correct answer. BSB were great but Five made me get down now.

[noxious.sunshine]

That's cuz you didn't put "backstreet boys" after it Rantz.

[Elskidor]

Backstreet Boys had some good ballads. I can't really remember any other band from the 90's.


None? Not a single other band? My word...

[Rocket Edge]

Should have said boy band :p

Looking at Rantz post though I change my answer. 5ive every day of the week!

[Minami]

5ive.

qZUn-KtTNmA

Definitely 5ive! And i'm going to their greatest hits tour next month :tongue:

[Forsaken Lover]

Ohh, got to love Malice Mizer, though i wouldn't call them a boyband in the usual sense

[noxious.sunshine]

They're -not- a boy band . Not like what we're talking about. Besides, Dir en Grey, ftw. They're rock/heavy metal. Not pop. Gackt on his own is pop, tho.

Da Pump is a boy band. Shinhwa and H.O.T. are boy bands. ... Omg shinhwa. *dies*

[Loony BoB]

5ive, easily.

I don't count Boyz II Men, 4PM, Az Yet and other R&B groups in the same genre as boy bands, so I'm not including them.

[RocketMBA]

Take That.

[Night Fury]

Backstreet Boys can't be that cool anyway, they follow me on Twitter.

[Aulayna]

What about Boyzone, Take That etc? :o

[Quindiana Jones]

None of them.

Ever.

Because Spice Girls.

[Aulayna]

None of them.

Ever.

I beg to differ

Spice Girls always win everything.

Apparently they've got a new album out though.

We need to talk about that beard, AJ. Seriously.

Are there any pictures out there of Mana without makeup on?


4eh2cHEhI94
Why are two of them randomly shirtless? This reminds me of that episode of American Dad called, "Hot Tub": Daddy's Gone (http://youtu.be/F8nvkkcXzEk)

[Elskidor]

Wait...did they just get back together or did they ever break up in the first place? If they never broke up they sure did go from very popular to "who cares" status fast. I have not heard a peep about them since the early 2000's.

I'm guilty of seeing Spice World in theaters.............twice.

[noxious.sunshine]

They took breaks. Kevin left the group for awhile, but he's back now.

They came out w that one album in like 04 or 05 that was actually good, then break, then I found some album they released after that, but it sucked, and now this one.

They toured w New Kids on the Block a couple of yrs ago.

[LadyYunaFFX2]

Oh wow, this brings me back down Memory Lane.

Hm ...


It's tough, honestly ...

But I never could choose between Backstreet Boys or NSync. Both had really good songs, members ...

Shrug

Meh, I was like 15-16 during their debuts. I blame my hormones.
