The lyrics may be silly, but the hooks, sometimes via sampling, are solid.

Oooof, what a bad time to be alive and in college….also, I do believe (my Google Powers are not on today) Snap! played in a gay bar (philadelphia? new jersey?) and one of the dudes in the band (hetero) physically assaulted a patron who came on to him.

Like, he suddenly forgot where he was and who was paying his paycheck…and the band's bad pub in the dance scene (and also their lack of creativity)…good riddance.

Someone born in 1950 probably thought the Beatles and the Stones and the Temptations sucked when they became popular in the mid-'60s.

Although High School was a distant and blurry memory by 1990, I was still listening to new music and discovering good artists. This list has zilch. I'm in total agreement with you forwardgirl.

Taylor is an underrated goddess with a voice like as strong as steel. She's so good she can make even a Diane Warren tune sound a little funky.

I admit “The Power” may not have aged well since I personally prefer “Rhythm Is A Dancer”. But I still like them both enough to hunt down all of their various mixes.

OK, so NKOTB released mostly utter fluff. However, they did a few nice guilty-pleasure songs including “Step By Step”, “Right Stuff” and . . . umm . . .
