Boyband Appreciation Thread

[JabarR]

50 years ago (like the Beatles 10 years earlier), the Bay City Rollers invaded America with this hit!

I'll never forget the time when Blue collaborated with Elton John.

And I feel like there's potential for an appreciation thread in this sub-forum on girl groups like Spice Girls, Destiny's Child, TLC, Little Mix etc.

Who remembers these guys?

Pretty sure at least "Back for Good" was a big hit here in the States. it still gets radio play on soft rock stations.

Yes, that's what I was implying when I said they were on the verge of a breakthrough in America. "Back for Good" was a hit but they could never capitalize on it because they broke up shortly thereafter.

Jackson 5 or the Osmonds?

It also didn't help that Robbie Williams left Take That during that period since he left when "Never Forget" was topping the UK charts.

Even though it's 10 years old now, I think this "WatchMojo" video holds up (and there hasn't really been any "Boy Band" phenomenon in the last 5 to 10 years - not like previous Boy Band eras).



I think the list is still correct.

I know I'm a little late on this, but RIP to Mr. Wayne Osmond

NSYNC's biggest hit in the UK was interestingly enough, "Girlfriend", their last single before their initial 2004 split and was remixed by the Neptunes with Nelly as featured artist. It foreshadowed Justin Timberlake's solo career due to its pop-R&B sound.

Did you know that the Bay City Rollers had 2 shows during the 70s?
