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?

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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....

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