> [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > Interesting that Hanson has received the least hate! I think that’s mostly a factor of who they have been paired against. They have had a lot of dreadful competition. IOW, it’s not that they have received the least hate, it’s that they have received marginally less than their opposite numbers. ---

Plus they’re (they were) just kids. Hard to muster up hate for them, in my opinion. “Mmm Bop” as annoying in its ubiquitousness as it was, was actually a pretty decent little pop ditty. Wouldn’t have been too out-of-place as a Jackson 5 number. ---

I have seen both Hansen tours and for what they bring, they BRING IT. Ask the fifteen guys who were smart enough to buy tickets. ---

REGION 1 Puff Daddy Coolio REGION 2 Sublime Meatloaf REGION 3 Michael Jackson Metallica REGION 4 Hanson 98 Degrees I’m still hoping P-Diddy takes it. And I’m really unhappy I had to vote for Oasis in a poll, because I fucking hate Oasis as people, even if I like a couple of their songs. But I hate Sublime that much more. ---
