4 Backstreet Boys The Backstreet Boys are an American vocal group, formed in Orlando, Florida in 1993. The group consists of AJ McLean, Howie D., Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson and Brian Littrell.

Let's get MORE untalented trash bags like this! " And so, Britney Spears, N Sync, T-Pain, Just Bieber, and other crappy pop artists were introduced to the music industry.

I worry that bands like Led Zeppelin and Guns N' Roses will just, you know, be forgotten and be overshadowed by the newer generation of music. Dave Grohl says don't give up on rock music, and I'm not of course, I've just lost plenty of faith in it. I'm tired of sitting here and waiting for another artist that ...more
