Hi All!
Since it’s the weekend I am back featuring a new playlist to start your week off right!
If there is one topic that I consider myself to be somewhat of an expert on it’s late 90s/early 2000s boy bands. I truly was such a fan girl for all of them, although I personally think the Backstreet Boys are the best all around group of that time. (And you should really catch the Backstreet Boys documentary from 2015 “Show ‘Em What You’re Made Of” if you have a hot minute- it’s AMAZING.) ANYWAYZ, moving on….this playlist actually isn’t about any of the mainstream boy bands that everyone knows about. Rather, for this list I have compiled songs from lesser known boy bands from that same era. You may not recognize some of the song titles or group names, but I think that once you give them a listen you will certainly remember. And there are some real gems in here! So get ready to sit back, relax, give a listen and take it back to the good old days~!
Week 3 Playlist: Forgotten Boy Bands
- I’ll Be Your Everything – Youngstown – I remember this was the theme song for the movie Inspector Gadget. There is a Disney version to this song and a racier album version.
- Girl On TV – LFO – RIP Rich Cronin 🙁 – Does anyone else recall the video with J. Love Hew?! She was such a bombshell at the time.
- Back for Good – Take That – Such a good song by a British boy band.
- Can I Get Your Number (A Girl Like You) – No Authority – I remember this song so well because I had the CD single! It’s so catchy and corny. Perfection!
- Slam Dunk (Da Funk) – Five – Great workout song from the Brits.
- I Can’t Wait Another Minute – Hi-Five – Classic 90s slow jam!
- Back Here – BBMak – Does anyone else recall the Disney channel concerts? I definitely watched the BBMak one a zillion times. Loved this song.
- Faded – Soul Decision – I think they only had this one song and it’s a good one.
- We Fit Together – O-Town – I totally watched Making the Band and was a fan of O-Town (Dan was my fav♥). This song wasn’t as popular as “All or Nothing” but I loved it because it was upbeat and peppy. Plus, the video was all of them singing on a big boat and it looked like SO MUCH fun! lol I’ve linked it here!
- Swear It Again – Westlife – This is up there on my all time favorite slow songs list. It’s a great ballad.
- The Earth, The Sun, The Rain – Color Me Badd – I wouldn’t say that this group, per se, is forgotten; they were pretty big in the 90s. However, I don’t feel that this particular song got the love it deserved. It wasn’t on the radio too much and I can remember getting so excited when it would come on! Kids today will never understand…
- It Happens Everytime – Dream Street – I know Jesse McCartney started out in this group. I can’t recall any other song by them, but this one was definitely popular and I’ve got it on my iPod. 😉
Hope you enjoy!
