I recently found the NKOTB Christmas album in a 2nd-hand shop. I didn't even know that they'd made one. I couldn't help buying it, and yep... it's real bad.

Hangin' Tough. Hangin' Tough. We're rough!
Heh.
I used to torment the girls who would wear those 8 inch buttons of these guys on their jean jackets.

Who all agrees with me that the new kids on the block sucked ?
I wouldn't say they sucked. But they were much better than Hanson, The Backstreet Boys, or *NSYNC.
I own three albums of New Kids on the Block. "New Kids on the Block," "Hangin' Tough," and "Greatest Hits" I also own Joey McIntyre's "Stay the Same." The New Kids on the Block weren't really that bad at all. They had there moments in music history. But I wouldn't doubt it if they did a reunion concert for a 20th Anniversary.

I'll admit to knowing most of the words to Hangin Tough, Not by choice of course.

I was going to say exactly the same thing, however, I disagree with Hanson. Yes "MMMBop" was annoying, but at least Hanson played their own instruments, wrote their own songs, and were completely original (something I can't say for most bands out there) They were just three young teens trying to be absolutely nothing but three young teens, and for that, I give 'em props. I'm not a fan of Hanson in any way, but they get my respect.
I was never a fan of them. I was like the only girlin my 1st garade class who didn't like them. One of my cousins gave me a water bottle with their picture on it. I was embarressed to use it.
I had the NKOTB, shirts, pillows, sheets, everything. I think I was more obsessed with Nsync, mainly for Justin Timberlake.
I still have all of my stuff. lol Even go through every now and then.

First off, let me premise my post. I hate the term 'boy band". The word band implies that there are musicians in the group. Last I checked, none of the members of NKOTB, Backstreet Boyz, N'Sync, etc. played instruments. So, I will use the term "singing group".
That being said, NKOTB are the most talentless "singing group" of all time. I hate the whole genre, but I know when someone can sing and dance well. Go back and listen to them. The vocals are vile! If I ever have to listen to I'll Be Loving You Forever again, it will cause me to vomit blood. I worked at a Musicland when they were in thier prime and had to listen to Hanging Tough over and over again. Yeah, they are about as tough as my 4 month old daughter. And have about as much soul as my dog.

Then again their style is 80's early 90's stuff. Those were some odd times. You should have heard a bunch of R&B groups that were hot at that time. New Edition, Troop, Mint Condition, Guy, Color Me Badd, Bel Biv Devoe etc...

OMG. I can't think of a worse torture than that.
I just remembered those little "cassettes" that were filled with bubblegum, and there were like 40 different covers to collect or something like that. I had heaps of those. :oops:
I loved NKOTB at the time... I remember collecting the glossy trading cards on a Summer trip my family took from California to Arkansas.
Now when I go back and listen to the songs, I cringe. Especially when I hear my at-the-time-favorite-Kid, Jordan Knight's voice. Ugh.

I was sick of hearing about NKotB. I had a cousin who had two VHS tapes on them. One was a live concert and the other was like a behind the music on them.
