Seeing bootedaddys thread on "you know you're old when...", this got me thinking. Every generation has a boy band that teens relate to. [b]Please take the term [i]boy band[/i] loosely[/b]. From the Beatles to now N'Sync. So lets show our ages. What was the boy band in your era(teens)?

[u]Mine would have to be[/u]
[blue]New Edition[/blue](the group Bobby Brown came from)= Pop
[blue]Judas Priest[/blue] = Rock

and for a Teen Diva it was [blue]Debbie Gibson[/blue] or [blue]Lita Ford[/blue] Ok maybe Lita Ford wasn't a teen. Nevertheless I drooled over her.

Mr Telephone Man there's something wrong with my line. Yeah I remember New Edition. And I also remember those gaudy NKOTB letters behind the New Kids. There are simply some memories one should not have.

I can just barely remember watching some old Menudo videos back when I was young.

After that, it would have to be NKOTB. That's right, New Kids On The Block. So who else here was "Hanging Tough" during the 80s?

I don't remember any "boy" bands when I was a teen, (except the Jackson 5). Deep Purple, Allman Brothers Band and Jeff Beck Group were bands I could relate to, however.

They're not boy bands by any means, but I cut my teeth for my musical taste on G&R and Metallica.

Hate to admit it but I did listen to their songs then. I was some sort of sentimental fool whose outlook in life was so naive.

Most of the above don't exactly seem to be "boy bands." The POS "boy bands" popular when I was a kid were Bobby Sherman, David Cassidy and the Osmonds. Later when I was an *older* kid Leif Garrett, Andy Gibb and some other little dweeb who I think was related to Cassidy hit big. I can't remember his name. See, advancing age does do *some* things for ya!

Defining things loosely, the Beatles when I was a kid. Defining things more strictly, the Monkees or the Osmond Brothers.

New Kids on the Block, Crap like that. In my later teens, it was Nelson.

Alright I was just getting ready to post this on my thread.

I listened to music through the 60's everything AM had to offer. LOL

But the band that changed everything for me was.

GRAND FUNK RAILRAOD

I literally went through a 1 year period that no other music or bands graced my 8 track craig goose necked player.

GFR rocked and kicked ass for a 3 man band.

Well now I feel old, thanks LordTrader. I remember going to see a bar band, a guy named Bruce Springsteen. A local (for me) guy, Ted Nugent (pretty wild stage show). And who could forget Alice Cooper, saw him at Cobo Hall in Detroit. still remember a guy falling off the balcony to the main floor during that show, nobody even seemed to notice (must have been the smokey atmosphere). Ambulance guys had a hell of a time getting to him.

Of course the Beatles.
