The 90's Boy/Girl Bands
 

Many of you will remember back in the mid to early 2000's that the dominating pop music was the likes of Boyzone, The Backstreet Boys, B'Witched, The Spice Girls, S-Club 7, N*SYNC, Destiny's Child, TLC and many more. Does anyone feel they left anything worth remembering? I was a young kid and I adored that music until I discovered the rock genre at 13. I would love to hear if anyone else experiences nostalgia for that period. Who stood out the most for you? Who began it all?

For some reason this all I'm listening to lately. Revisiting my childhood I suppose :p:

Been on a massive downloading spree and got myself a load of boy band albums which I didn't have growing up (we couldn't afford to buy albums so I had to make do with recording songs off the radio onto cassetts).

I LOVE boy bands. Most girls have at least one boy/girl band they were into. For me it was Westlife:

for me, the ones that stood out were the Spice Girls and the Backstreet Boys

the Backstreet Boys more, cos they had a pretty good songwriter in Max Martin, the sounds are ultra-catchy, the melodies snappy and all were quite good party music

even the ballads are top-notch

for the Spice Girls, they deteriorated like mad after the 2nd album, and even the first 2 albums were full of filler

I thought the 90s was a dull era for music, with all the soppy commercialised crap audiences were served. Nirvana is where it lies. They are the true stars of the 90s.

there were soppy commercialised crap in any era

It's fair to say that it has got worse now.

Kurt's dead. Get over it.

On a more important note;

Nsync > Backstreet Boys

Except for the Spice Girls I haven't heard of any of those vocal groups and don't think I would ever care to hear their stuff. Though that being said, I thought that the Spice Girls had really missed their opportunity. They should had done more with movies, maybe if they had better song writers and script writers they could had been huge.

Pleeeeaze don't tell me they are going to make you a super mod. Let me guess who hired you ...Chuck Harvey, right?

I always thought Take That was a pretty good group (although Robbie Williams was smart to eventually leave the group and go solo. And don't forget Hanson. k..so maybe many would not mind forgetting them..but you have to admit that Mmmbop was quite catchy.


And honestly, Nirvana was not the end be all for the 90s.

Being a young girl in the nineties, there were certainly acts that stand out to me even now.

I had a boner for O*Town, 98 Degrees, The Spice Girls, Savage Garden, NSync, The Moffats, Hanson, and all of that jive.

Although not all necessarily boy/girl groups of the nineties, some tracks that remind me of being 10-13 are:

Savage Garden - I Want You
Jewel - Painters
Backstreet Boys - More Than That
98 Degrees - Give Me Just One Night
Ricky Martin - The Cup of Life
Sisqo - The Thong Song
Shawn Colvin - Sunny Came Home
Fastball - The Way
Paula Cole - Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?
Fiona Apple - Criminal
LFO - Summer Girls
Hanson - Where's the Love?
NSync - Tearin' Up My Heart

These were probably the most played tracks when I was a kid.

Yeah I remember all those songs vividly from my childhood. Don't get too nostalgic from them, though.

Also:


This song is still catchy as ****.

Some others that come to mind

Chumbawamba - Tubthumping
LEN - Steal My Sunshine
Fatboy Slim - The Rockafeller Skank
blink 182 - any of their songs really

I had the wonderful pleasure to see Backstreet Boys live about a year ago. I saw New Kids On The Block a few years ago.

Backstreet Boys in my opinion were better. There was always that argument of them versus Nsync. I didn't like Nsync as much.

really?

i just find that one extremely irritating and it used to drive me up walls

Savage Garden were great! I still would listen to them, I still remember owning their cassette tape.

it gets stuck in my head. I don't like it, but I did when I was like 10.

This is what it's all about bitches.

"Where's the Love?" by Hanson is one of the catchiest boy band songs of the 90's. It figures that Hanson went on to make respected music outside of the genre.

This is not me being bitter, or anything to do with Kurt being dead.

What are you talking about?

Chuck Harvey is going to take over Music Banter soon I heard, he is suppose to implement some drastic changes too. Why you don't work for him? I thought he hired you too, because you sound just like Jayshreddz - you know the comment about Nirvana and all - Jay became a super-mod last week when he was working on the problem of excessive spam coming out China.

????

but

5ive - Keep On Movin'

TUUUUNEEEE

This song was my life.

Edit:
Oh wait and these.

Yeah man, ****ing tune!

No, don't know what you are on about.

No nostalgia, nausea maybe.

Oh well aren't you cool? Please go on.

Yeah! I was listening to that today for some reason, killer tune!

Ok, seriously. I'm not trying to point you out or anything but it happens all the time.

Why do people make it a point to go into a thread on the basis to insult the music being presented in the thread. If you think you're being helpful or contributing, you're not. You're being an annoying bastard who thinks your opinion is better than everybody else's because you don't "like what other people like". Grow the hell up and try to contribute with something worthy for once.

/rant

That song is my ****.

For me, the one that stood out was the Backstreet Boys,I like it very much

Oh my god. 90s boy/girl bands. Love them. My one and only vice.

I was a generic little teeny bopper so typically my favourites were the Backstreet Boys and the Spice girls.

But an even sadder fact is that I have tickets to go see Hanson in September... THIS September...2012...

^ Don't feel bad about that.

I've seen Backstreet Boys in concert. No shame.

i'm probably seeing Justin Bieber in December

if i can fight with the teenyboppers to get a tix

I'm embarrassed to say I used to love some of those bands.. xD

i'm not

I remember jamming to the spice girls when my mother took me on road trips.

Nothing to be embarrassed about. It's part of some people's childhood to look back and remember the times they had when listening to the 90's pop boy/girl bands. I personally really enjoy the fact that I was exposed to the music.

This is what makes you incredible Duce, a man who truly does listen to everything haha.
No shame in listening to Bieber, he's this generations Michael Jackson.
(Yeah, I said it, come at me)

:love:

Same here, I actually had a childhood thanks to boy and girl bands, they kept my innocence and let me enjoy listening to it with my friends. Anyone saying they are embarrassed to listen to a certain group are just doing it to save their rep. People will respect you more for admitting you like them.
