To think that 5ive really were the best boybandd of the late 90s / early 2000s?

[QueenMortificado]

Every single song is such a tune

Other bands will be considered for a top three. Backstreet boys and Blue maybe.

Agree! I absolutely love(d) five. In fact I saw them in Falmouth last year!

I was a boyzone fan but that was mid 90s. I thought 5ive had some good tunes but didn't go to see them tour or buy their albums. I probably taped their songs from the radio though. I did that a lot.
Never liked blue.

As Long As You Love Me and Everybody by Backstreet Boys are fantastic songs.

YANBU! 5ive were my absolute faves. I still know all the words to every song. My friend used to get frustrated that she couldn't 'rap' along with J's parts.

Are five not responsible for the utter stunner that is "I'm lyrically black..."?

Oh how I cried over boys to Until The Time Is Through in my early teens.

And DH, who is an old punk really, loves I Want It That Way .

Well they are responsible for "when I flick the switch make your hips wanna dip / I can get you off cos I'm ready and equipped"

SWOON

Aren't backstreet boys officially the most successful boyband of all time? Sure I heard that somewhere.

911 were my fave

@Palegreenstars

This isssss my journeyyyyyyy....

And all the Smash Hits references to "Pint size popstars"

Yanbu.

But what about N*sync?! Bye bye bye, Tearin' up my heart, Girlfriend, Pop...brilliant songs

I came on to say you are wrong and it was the Backstreet Boys, but I see it's already been covered!

Having said that 'Get On Up' is an absolute tune!

yabu to think overall they were, because we all know it was BSB however they were easily the best british boyband

Awww smash hits the days of innocence and plastering your a4 folder with posters and stickers. Don't see that much these days.

YABVVVVVU

Easily Backstreet Boys. Even East 17 were miles better than shitty 5ive.

Bodyshakin' by 911 is an absolute tune!!

@glitterglitters

I was devastated when I realised I'd be too tall for the lot of them

'I'm gonna lovvvve youuuu a little bite moooore'

Is it still cool for the kids to have posters on their wall?

5 bad boys with the power to rock you.....

Ahhh I forgot about bodyshakin'

Perfection (for 90s pop)

BSB are indeed the most successful boyband of all time.

Sigh

Reliving my youth.

FlyingElbows I'm lyrically blessed! 😂

@Reow you take that back right now!

There's also a line by 5ive which is "ain't got no manners cos I eat with my fingers / we can get down and make you grab you by your biscuits"

I think there is no further argument here on their lyrical genius
