Really???! {insert retching noises}
New kids on the block had a bunch of hits
Chinese food makes me sick
And I think it’s fly when girls stop by for the
Summer, for the summer
I like girls that wear abercrombie and fitch
I’d take her if I had one wish
But she’s been gone since that summer,
Since that summer
My favorite boy band was Five!
The best boy band ever was Five!
You know the world has gone to hell when TV shows start having the world “awesomest” in their titles. *sigh*
The best boyband ever was and always will be New Kids On The Block!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
don’t forget to feature the WESTLIFE coz they won in The
“BATTLE OF THE BOYBANDS” last MAY in MTV , they beat others boyband
through online voting.. even they are not famous in america ,

My favorite boy band back in mid 90s is backstreet boys:)
MENUDO !!! BEST BOY BAND EVER!!
Loved NSYNC when I was a kid but Boyz II Men is the best and it’s not close
Yes, Backstreet Boys
Hands down, New Edition should have taken home the crown. They’ve been serving us peasants hits for going on 30 years now and still selling out crowds. NE4Life
Am I taking crazy pills or did they not even MENTION The Jackson Five??? And what about the Beatles? Are the considered a boy band? If so these two should by all accounts be the top two. Even if they aren’t your personal favorite you cant deny their influence in music history and how they both broke down barriers. E…you REALLY missed the mark!!
Five Brothers and a million Sisters. NKOTB FOR LIFE!
