I’ve first heard them when they first hit mainstream U.S. radio in 1997, and I still enjoy their music today. There’s a few bad ones in my opinion, such as the horrendous “If You Want It To Be Good Girl (Get Yourself A Bad Boy”) - even band member Howie Dorough has said he regrets recording that song. But most of them are very memorable; a few of my personal faves include “As Long As You Love Me”, “Show Me The Meaning (Of Being Lonely)”, “More Than That”, “Back To Your Heart”, “What Makes You Different”, “Incomplete”, “I Still”, “Never Gone”, “Straight Through My Heart”, “Drowning”, and of course their two most well-known hits: “I Want It That Way” and “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)”.
Its hard to believe all five guys are still going strong after 31 years (though Kevin Richardson did take an extended break from 2006 to 2012). But even though most of them are in their 50s now, they still have fans all over the world, both men and women (I’ve never bought into the popular lie that insists every male BSB fan has to be gay; that’s just plain crap). Anyway, what do you all think of them? Are you new fans, old fans, or haven’t listened to them at all? Sound off; I’m curious to see your responses. 😃
