Tony Orlando Morse 1978 Submitter: Nothing brings the youth to the library like Tony Orlando. My colleague and I are in our 30’s. Together, we had to google his name just to see if we knew any of his songs. This
The Bee Gees Schumacher 1979 Hubba hubba! May I present to you the hotties of 1979, The Bee Gees. What a great choice for the public middle school library that submitted this book! Well, 35 years ago, anyway. It could
‘N Sync Backstage Pass Your Kickin’ Keepsake Scrapbook Johns 1999 I know you are all dying to get the inside scoop on the ‘N Sync boys. I usually confuse this group with the Backstreet Boys, much to the horror of

First, I have to ask Mary what the heck she was DOING in the 90s. She sent me a lovely email, asking me to write up this post since, and I quote, “Honestly I can’t remember any of the hits. I do think that guy with the glasses is goofy looking (even for the 90s)…”

The Wikipedia article sites Billboard magazine, saying “According to Billboard, they are the first group since Sade to have their first seven albums reach the top 10 on the Billboard 200.” You really can’t remember even one song? Larger Than Life, I Want it That Way, Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)… they were all ridiculously popular.

After 98 Degrees, I’d say they were the next-best boy band (personal opinion…)
Someone, please! Give Mary a lesson on 90s pop culture!
New Kids on the Block Greenberg 1990 Mary: I am showing my age with this one. I had never heard of these guys and I couldn’t begin to tell you one of their hits. (Truth: I thought one of these

The Osmonds Delaney 1976 I figured if Holly got to have her teen crush featured, then equal time should be allowed for mine. I Couldn’t find any Bobby Sherman (does anyone else of my age group remember him?) or David
