Just a bit of fun. As "boy band" revivals have been rather the trend in the last couple of years, I am curious to know which are Haven's favourite 90's boybands? So, I thought, let's go for this format: - Nominate your top 5 favourite boybands - favourite gets 5 pts, second gets 4, and so on.
- Then I'll shove the poll function in the thread for the bands with the highest number of points in some "battle off".
This moment of inspiration may fall flat, but hey, it's slow news Thursday. Any questions, please shout, and feel free to use this thread for 90's boy band banter.

I had a tough time narrowing it down. 1pt Let Loose2pts NKOTB3pts 98 Degrees4pts Boyzone5pts N SyncSpecial mentions... - I thought of including Westlife but they were very late 90s. - I loved A1 for their last 2 singles (Caught In The Middle / Make It Good) but hated everything else. - Code Red's "I Gave You Everything" was great. - 911's "Day We Find Love"... lovely! - Worlds Apart are a guilty pleasure for "Could It Be" and "Heaven Must Be Missing".

We might as well close the competition early. Surely there's no competition when you've got...

- I loved A1 for their last 2 singles (Caught In The Middle / Make It Good) but hated everything else. I had completely forgotten about these two! I loved Make It Good! Same Old Brand New You and Ready Or Not were my favourite A1 singles.

BUT ULTRA DON'T HAVE A BAND MEMBER NAMED ELOY THAT I WANT TO MARRY !!! I have that Ultra album.It's not bad at all.'Say It Once' was my favourite - I bought that as a single too. They don't excite me enough to wanna track down their second album though. I didn't know North & South at all.Passed me by,but I d/l '...Man Not A Boy' a few months ago,and like it.

The ultra album was good - I much preferred the above songs to say it once, not sure why.
