8 comments so far (post your own)Even though there latest album is a mess NKOTB were one of the pioneers of the boyband... They paved the way for groups like *N'SYNC, and The Backstreet Boys. Posted by Micheal on Sunday, 05/11/2014 @ 21:52pm |
This group STILL packs stadiums and is one of the BEST shows out there. I've been to A LOT of concerts and very few groups do I have the inclination to see again. NKOTB are one of the TWO I would pay to go see again. These guys deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Posted by Holly Hubbard on Sunday, 05/21/2017 @ 10:01am |

Saw them the other night as they headlined their Mixtape Tour, which featured Debbie Gibson, Tiffany, Salt n Pepa and Naughty by Nature. I never thought there would be a day I would see them live. See, when I was in 2nd/3rd grade, the girls loved them. The guys would be into Batman, Ninja Turtles, Dick Tracy, etc and the girls would obsess about marrying one of the New Kids someday. The guys would tease the girls, and make the New Kids the butt of many jokes for several years. Even when Jordan Knight and Joey McIntyre had short-lived solo careers. Sometime during the mid-2000s, VH1 would "try" to get the group back together for a "Bands Reunited" episode, and failed. Jordan was like "You guys can get us back together" and he was proved right. The boys proved everyone wrong on their own a few years later, and toured like crazy - which is still happening today. Posted by Jason Voigt on Saturday, 05/11/2019 @ 15:57pm |
Subjectively, I agree. I don't love NKOTB and they're not rock. No comparisons between the two in terms of talent, but I don't think NWA belong if we're looking at rock and roll. Posted by Mike on Sunday, 09/5/2021 @ 10:45am |

I wouldn't be surprised if New Kids On The Block were nominated in 2023, 2024 or 2025. Definitely innovators with their 1st class choreography dance moves and change off singers. Paving the way for future artists. Influenced a new generation of younger singers and groups. NSync and The Backstreet Boys come to mind. These groups were successful and had many fans. Both will receive Rock & Roll HOF Consideration in the future. There were a bunch of 90's Singer and Dance artists. Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and the like. Hillary Duff I believe was 2000's. She's a FAV of mine. I think Tonight is something Jeff Lynne ELO could have created and scored a hit. It's very creative. Step By Step is interesting as they go through the Steps. Step 1...Step 2... and so on... Jordan Knight is 1 of the best singers of his time. Very smooth delivery. Posted by KING on Wednesday, 07/13/2022 @ 16:33pm |
I don't know if New Kids on the Block belongs in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. But just imagine how pissed the Monkees would be if NKOTB were really inducted hahaha Posted by BackstreetBoys on Saturday, 12/24/2022 @ 03:24am |
