Hi guys, I'm a big fan of 90s pop music, such as Bon Jovi's "Always", the Backstreet Boys, The Moffatts, Hanson (and all those boybands), Anyone here share the same taste? .

Hmm.... boybands... I guess Spice Girls' still work a listen.

If you're talking about 90s rock like Radiohead, Oasis, Jeff Buckley etc... (No grunge, though. ) then yeah!

dunno y i hate boybands -.- so gay
but almost all my fren love it (during my primary n secondary school), makes me an alien......

Its a free country.. anyone with personal preferences. As long as the tunes appeal to my ear..I don't really care if its all boy or girl band.
I do enjoy MLTR or Alleycats music once a while and I'll enjoy it to the fullest on my hifi rig!. Afterall why should I care who else doesn't like or not.. its in my own home, on my own rig..PC or hifi.. it only matters to me.

Right now, 80s is the new 70s....

Gone are stuff like That 70s Show, Bell Bottoms, Groovy Tunes, Hendrix Popularity (amongst pop-culture, NOT musically), Weed and hippy power.

Now we see 80s hair metal bands, Spandex, Flock of Segulls, 80s Pop (POP! Goes my heaaaarrrrttttt), Transformers, A-Team, Star Wars, Van Halen...... all making a come back.......

And I have a feeling that the 90s is going to be the new 80s soon enough

In case you don't know 80s pop:

hey blacktrix, thats your guitar.

but uhh, imo nothing good came out from the 90s
even bands from before that once they reached the 90s started producing crap.

i like 80's metal! 90's metal was pretty solid too

Yeah, I found those are most enjoyable english music. Now all mostly r&b and rap. Sienzz

I think that you're in the wrong place.

Actually, I was talking more about the most popular type of popular songs during 90s which are the boybands type of songs. BUT! I forgot that there were other types of popular songs as well that hit the top of the charts during the 90s such as Green Day's Basket Case, Blur - Song 2 and I cant remember the rest lol, But I know what ur talking about there led_Zep_freak. But I'm not really into those radiohead, oasis, jeff buckley but I guess some of them were popular during the 90s as well, like Oasis :-D so considered also lah. Though I was wondering if anyone had the same taste as me here, especially girls maybe cuz I know there are not many guys in this section of the forum would listen to pop. Just trying to find someone to share my interest with .

MLTR was not bad too at that time, their songs are very emotional, I always remember them as the stuffs that what my dad would hear lol.

Do u know any other 80s rock bands that had similar sound to Bon jovi? I find bon jovi somehow like an 80s version of a boyband lol. if you look at their music videos especially.


ya now mostly rap & rnb and also influenced by the clubbing scene lately. very boring. Even those 80s rock were better lol.

i do listen to lot of pop music when i was younger, BSB, MLTR, bon jovi, radiohead, savage garden etc etc...still remember MTLR's first studio album was the 1st cd that i've ever bought...now still working, only the cover looks like 'salted vege'

but now, mainly jpop, jrock, and lots of european power metal... EPIC

Ooo! Jpop and Jrock. Some of my favs too. But most i know thru Tv shows shown on malaysian tv or games lol. Utada Hikaru - First love (this one is a legend lol, makes u really feel emo), then the Beautiful Life tv show theme song (BZ - Kouta Oni ka uka kane or smth i dont know japanese haha). the digimon tv show theme song is not bad either. Recommend me some jpop and jrock that are similar to these ??

nothing really that survived.
but there is one band now that sounds like bon jovi meets def leppard, they're called Johnny Lima.

and you telling me bon jovi's 80s videos look like boybands?
anyway, the only boyband in the 80s is NKOTB

you can try utada hikaru's latest album 'ultra blue', to me it's quite nice...

maybe you can try ayumi hamasaki, do as infinity, mihimaru GT, ruppina, every little thing, b'z, chemistry, glay...most of them are more mainstream...

but do listen to ayumi and hikaru's stuff...

My personal fav - MLTR , my first ever self bought album is MLTR (25mins series).. Even nowadays i seldom listen to new tune, i still stick to those BsB, Boyzone,Westlife,MLTR, Enya..etc

hahah... i just watched the dvd last week... made me want to watch the wedding singer all over again

this my favorite 80's pop song... check out the guitar licks at the back... awesome tone... it's a shame that the guitarist died a few years back... always wanted to see him play the song live...

yea cool song.
i also have a remake of it by the metal band 'to die for'.

bands like bon jovi during the 80's and 90's .... hmmmm ... let me think ... how bout Poison, Motley Crue, Van Halen, Skid Row, GnR, etc ... tight leather pants, pouting lips and overdo hair .... hehehehe ... but they did produce real good music tho ...

just downloaded the cover song... think i like the original better...

also downloaded the extended remix of the original... they digitally remastered everything and no fade out at the end... can hear the guitar licks better and clearer.... sounds like a strat with nice chorus...

well i personally liked the music from the 90's, 3rd eye blind, smasshing pumpkins, savage garden (hmm..), barenaked ladies, those kind of stuff. im ok with BSB (hmmmm...).

right now too much hip hop. not really my taste.
