NSYNC has so many good songs, but I personally like the No Strings Attached album the best. This album is from 2000, so I grew up with these songs. I'm sure everyone knows Bye Bye Bye, which is an empowering song that involves a boy getting out of a toxic relationship because he needs to do what's best for himself. I also love It's Gonna Be Me, because it involves a desire for love. Lastly, one of my favorites is It Makes Me Ill. It's a song that pours confidence, but also has a story of a breakup where the boy wants the girl back. These are typical love songs, but Justin Timberlake really gave the emotion and talent that made NSYNC stand out.
Backstreet Boys may not have had a main singer who became as huge as Justin Timberlake, but I still love a lot of songs from several of their albums. Again, I'm sure everyone know the famous I Want It That Way from 1999, which is a soulful song that is about a love story that is hard to keep together. I also like Everybody (aka Backstreet's Back) from earlier on. This song is positive and gets people pumped, and it wants to make sure everyone knows how good the Backstreet Boys are. Backstreet Boys have more of a variety, and I can't just pick one album.
These bands are definitely different from the songs I listen to now, but it's fun to revisit the music I used to listen to. Although I'm not going to listen to these boys on the daily, that doesn't mean that I will stop loving their music. These songs bring back good memories, and it's refreshing from all the rap songs (which are also great, though). I couldn't pick which band I like better, so don't ask me. Hopefully people feel the same way about these boy bands, because they always make me smile.
okay I personally love the backstreet boys! I think there's a benefit to boy bands for record labels because a group of semi-attractive young boys can easily be advertised to young teen girls and thus, boy bands are a good advertising technique
