Music from the early-mid 1990s

[Prezbucky]

Some of you may be too young to have heard much music from the early-mid 1990s.

Pop/R&B group Boyz II Men were huge then, and this page has the videos for two of the biggest hits of the 1990s, "End of the Road" and "I'll Make Love To You".

This is a bit from their Biography page on CMT.com:

The post-"End of the Road" buzz helped make Boyz II Men's next album, II, an instant smash when it arrived in 1994, even though it didn't include "End of the Road." Produced by the likes of Babyface and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, rather than Bivins (who wanted to concentrate on developing new artists), II debuted at number one on its way to sales of over 12-million copies. The first single, "I'll Make Love to You" (also penned by Babyface), raced up the charts and wound up tying (ed. note: Whitney) Houston's short-lived record, with 14 weeks of its own at number one -- a staggering feat in itself, made all the more amazing by the fact that the group had already set the record once. Moreover, the follow-up single "On Bended Knee" actually replaced "I'll Make Love to You" at number one for a six-week run of its own; only Elvis and the Beatles had ever replaced themselves at number one.

Enjoy two of the best songs of probably the biggest soul/R&B group of the last 15 years.

Some of you may be wondering how the "boy band" craze started.

Well... this is the biggest of them all. In their prime they had teenage girls from around the world swooning at their bubblegum-pop, Hallmark-card-lyric croonings.

Their biggest hits (I think) were As Long As You Love Me, I Want It That Way and Shape Of My Heart... but you can sample them all. CMT has kept a more extensive list of these guys' videos than they have of Boyz II Men's.

I'm going to throw up now (it wasn't -- and still isn't -- cool for guys to like them).

They started in about the mid-90s. They effectively started the Boy Band craze of about 1995-2002 or so.

Who are they?

Backstreet Boys

What about NKOTB Tom?

I never got to listen to them.

I used to like Boyz 2 Men and remembered singing "I'll make love to you" without even knowing what 'make love' is. I wonder what my father could have been thinking all the time...probably.."tsktsktsk...such innocence" and could be "damn the boy band!"

ah, yes, classic

I remember shouting (with others) "New Kids Suck!" when their songs were played at our school dances. hehe
