All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

Yeah, I love the way the vocals are done and the general feel on that song!
As corny as many people see Backstreet Boys, they are very talented singers and great harmonizers. Its worth a listen to some of their a capella or acoustic (I think AOL Sessions, but not sure!) songs on youtube. Brian Littrell's solo acoustic take on Tim McGraw's "Don't Take The Girl" is also very moving.

I have to admit when I was younger I listened to The Backstreet Boys a lot.
Even today if I hear one of their more popular songs I'll whistle along with it. I remember them having great voices and the vocal arrangements were very good.

Great choices, all (although New Kids, John Denver and Weezer were kinda left field
)
Thought I'd offer my listing which includes a couple of acts from the southern colonies (Australia and New Zealand that is, I'm not across the Faulklands scene), check 'em out, I was astonished not to see them listed numerous times before!
The Beach Boys
They Might be Giants
The Chills
The Go-Betweens
The Triffids
The Db's
Camper Van Beethoven
Pixies
The Who
The Clean
Harry Nilsson (new to list)

.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers that about the Backstreet Boys. I think people associate them to much with their precursor 80's boy bands, where talent wasn't necessarily needed.
And thanks, I appreciate it! I grew up with mostly country music being played, so I like to branch out a lot more than my parents did. Seal and U2 were early favorites of mine after hearing their respective songs in
Batman Forever
. So, musically, I'm all over the place.
And
One-X
is definitely a great album for times like that! "Never Too Late" is one of my all-time favorites by anybody. I like the recurring theme of "you're not the only one" that plays throughout several songs like "Pain," "Riot" and the title track. A very real album, but very consoling in many ways.

1. The Beach Boys. Unchangeable position.
2. The Rolling Stones
3. Kaleidoscope (UK)
4. NRBQ
5. The Association
6. The Unrelated Segments
7. Creedence Clearwater Revival
8. Taj Mahal
9. Velvet Underground
10.Vetiver.
That was hard to do! There are left yet more favorites.
NRBQ... I know I've seen their albums in the racks back in the late '60s while looking for new US stuff. I may even have given them a listen and thought "not for me"----i really can't remember. I tried them (again?) just the other day, to no avail----maybe I was listening to the wrong album but it just didn't grab me. RR, what would you suggest as the one album of theirs I should hear (life being short)? If I don't like that, then I'll know for sure that they are not for me.
