You make the call!: Boy Bands
 

A man comes up to you an informs you that you must listen to one boy band for an hour each day for the rest of your life, or else he will blow up the planet. He looks like he's serious -- and more than capable of doing it. WHAT BOY BAND DO YOU CHOOSE? :eek:

Thanks to global warming, the planet is doomed anyway.. I chose none.

Menudo

I've sat through a backstreet boy concert before. Wasn't that bad actually

Do I lose my man card?

That's tough. I'd say it's between N'Sync and Backstreet Boys, but which one?

1980's menudo with ricky martin was the bomb.

NKOTB

Which one sings that "Bye Bye" song? I think I'd choose them.

N'Sync. I also like their song "Pop" or whatever it's called... so I think I'd choose them too.

Also, as part of the deal, they are performing live for you each day. They age just like us.

Tay Zonday.

I pick 98 Degrees, because I'd convince Nick Lachey not to perform and just watch Reds games with me all day

The planet would be doomed. No "boy band" music for me under any circumstances.

Death Angel, circa 1986. All of the band members were between 12 and 17.

Did they do choreographed dance numbers while they performed? If not, they don't count.

I knew I liked you for some reason.

Why don't you jump into his bed then?

Early Beatles

Please see the choreographed dance qualification above.

Didn't you forget to flush the toilet or something?

NKOTB

There's no choreographed dance qualification, only that they will perform live each day.

I flush every time!

Sorry. We reserve the right to amend the rules as needed to assure no loopholes are found.

As penalty, you must shoot your favorite musical artist in the head.

I consider moshing to be a choreographed circular dance.

Death Angel is still my answer.

You must now shoot the singer in the head. Sanjaya will be taking over for him.

It's a touch choice between Backstreet Boys and 98 Degrees. 98 Degrees has better singles, but BSB has a much better body of work.

The Beatles had some choregraphed moves in Help! and Hard Day's Night, so they are still available.

Ping: NAMBLA

If he "sings" like he did on You Really Got Me, I could probably live with that. The beauty is that metal isn't all about the vocals, as it is with so many other types of music. I could easily ignore him and still enjoy the music.

farging cheater. the spirit of this effeminate question is to make you look like a woman by picking a contemporary powderpuff ensemble.

Listen to the man. He speaks reason. The whole point is that you have to choose the least objectionable group out of an assortment of bad choices.

But the whole fun in responding is to find a way to make a choice that fits the technical rules but isn't really objectionable to you at all.

Boyz II Men

Does the Vienna Boys Choir count?

Anyone smell that? Is it a gas leak? No..no..wait...I think it's..yep...feigned ignorance!

The Temptations. (They do fit all the criteria. 40-50 years ago, but they still fit the criteria. :) )

Does El Debarge qualify as a boy bad?

How about The Monkees? They're more like a boy band, based on the way they were formed.

Does the Jackson 5 count as a boy band, or are they disqualified because of Michael?

I mean Janet.

Another Bad Creation. And I'd just make them sing the phrase "We played NintendooooooOOOOoo" over and over again.

BBD on the hype tip.

Oh no. It's on my iPod. I confess. I just didn't know which band it was. I also have one Backstreet Boys song apparently.

New Edition. Best of the newer (<25 years) boy bands.

The Beatles are a good choice, only because they have enough music that you wouldn't go crazy hearing the same songs over and over again for awhile.

N.W.A.

I was just watching the Iesha MV video again last night.

How'd you like to fancy yourself a serious musician, get yourself a gig as a background singer, then one day you show up at the studio and someone hands you a lyrics sheet reading:

...playgrooooOOuunnd....
...mooOOOOoonkey baaaars....
...NintendoooooOOOoooooo...
...CheerioooooOOOoos....

Good Charlotte.

That's because you look like you're in a boy band. You'd be a popular man in prison.
