The 90's Boy/Girl Bands

**Scarlett O'Hara** · 04-05-2012, 10:39 PM

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

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.

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.

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