Woo - boy bands. Like, totally awesome! *Insert a blonde hair flip here.*

N’Sync, 98 Degrees, BoyzIIMen, New Kids on the Block, so on and so forth.

I don’t know what the big deal was about them - other than at age 12 and 13, they were sooooo hot. Oh please. Good-looking means nothing, can they sing and can they make some good music?  That is what I’m interested in. I have nothing against the idea of “boy bands.” I have a lot against some lousy groups who get together, beat some sticks on tin cans and wail into a microphone about their broken hearts. Go to a therapist, not a recording studio.

The reason I bring this up is because another boy wonder band is the Backstreet Boys. Note I said “is” - present tense - they won’t go away. Their new album hits stores soon and to give it a fair shake I listened to one of the songs on Yahoo - Inconsolable. It’s a touch more mature than stuff they have produced in the past but not by much.

Did I mention the title of this album?  Never Gone - so fitting.
