New Kids on the Block
Album: Greatest Hits: Remastered (Columbia/Legacy)
In stores: Aug. 12
Why we care: You might think I have a cool job. The CDs. The concerts. The awesome hair. But there are occasional hazards. For instance, on Nov. 2, I will be at the St. Pete Times Forum reviewing the New Kids on the Block reunion show. (TICKETS) And I will be surrounded by a phalanx of screaming 38-year-old moms who would gladly stab me to get to Jordan Knight. Like I said: hazards.
Why we like it: In 1988, I was a giant dork for myriad reasons. But I’m proud to say one of those reasons was not for liking NKOTB, the once-mighty boy band who sold an eye-popping 70 million albums. (Holy crap, that's pretty good.) This hits package is a harmlessly cheeseball time capsule that will provide those aforementioned stabbing moms hours of fun. I'm guessing the FF wasn't a fan. She was too busy getting that Duran Duran tattoo on her fanny. Oh, I'm joking, I'm joking...or am I?
Reminds us of: My favorite New Kid? Cubby.
