I'm going with 'N Sync on account of Justin Timberlake. He's probably the only pop star I can stand. The others make me want to put my fist through a wall.

If anyone is going to mess up BBCode, It's Gonna Be Me.

When I was 15, the song I listened to most was I Want it That Way. I was one of those emotional-type teenagers, and that song was some type of feel song for me. Since nostalgia exists, I still love the song to this day and I listen to it all the time. I vote Backstreet Boys.

This battle is close. I'll post the current score.

'N-Sync - 4
Backstreet Boys - 3

Judging by how this competition rarely exceeds 7 total votes anymore, it doesn't look as if this round will go on for much longer unless we find more people to vote. We need some more of the Tavern regulars, or else the fate of these battles is doomed to stay in the single digits.

So tell all your friends about BotB.

Surely one of these boybands must make you shiver a little bit less than the other?

Uhhh well I only know 1 song by each. I have to go with Backstreet Boys. I want It That Way is better than Bye Bye Bye to me.

It's one tough cookie you served here Ernie... =/

I like both of the contestants very much, as they are (for me personally) the 2 best boy bands ever 'created' during the period of this dream era of every teenage girl on the planet. But hey, I like them too and so do a lot of dudes out there! Never disregard good music when you hear it!

So, in order to try and make a decision for the winner, I listened to all songs you linked and started comparing in order to declare a winner...

1) Being able to sing along with the songs: BsB - 1 / 'N-Sync - 1
2) The likeability of all songs (catchy lyrics/easy to listen to): BsB - 1 / 'N-Sync - 1
3) Flashy fun-to-watch videos (each in their own style): BsB - 1 / 'N-Sync - 1
4) Excessive usage of the hi-hat in the drum sequence: BsB - 1 / 'N-Sync - 1
5) Screaming factor during concerts (measured in %): BsB - 100% / 'N-Sync - 100%
6) ... uhhh...

Conclusion, I would have to rate as follows: Backstreet Boys - 1 / 'N-Sync - 1
Sorry! Can't decide... =)

N-Sync just because Justin Timberlake, but I don't really like boy bands all that much. (Unless it's k-pop)

Backstreet Boys, solely because of the song Larger Than Life. I don't listen to any other song by either artist, but Larger Than Life is one of my favorite songs, and I sing it all the time.

I would call the battle now, but...

'N-Sync - 5
Backstreet Boys - 5

I'm afraid, in the event of a tie, I have no choice but to let this battle smolder on until one more person votes.

I detest and hate all manufactured pop. Alt rock forever!

When I was 15, the song I listened to most was I Want it That Way.

The deciding vote. Finally. That puts us at a final score of:

Backstreet Boys - 6
'N-Sync - 5

This battle would have been incomplete without the one deciding vote, but now I've decided to make the call and start a new battle.

But I'm going to take a risk and genre-jump all the way to folk.

Bob Dylan



Like a Rolling Stone
The Times They Are A Changin'
Blowing in the Wind
Mr Tambourine Man
It Ain't Me Babe

vs.

Peter, Paul, and Mary



If I Had a Hammer
Puff the Magic Dragon
Blowing in the Wind
Leaving on a Jet Plane
Where Have All the Flowers Gone?

Where have all the votes gone? The battle, it is a changin'.

Bob Dylan is a legend. he wrote some amazing songs and his voice is like no other. peter paul and mary are cool but they do not compare to what bob dylan has done for music.

Bob is less mindlessly cheerful, and therefore better.
