Loved them best from 95' to 98' during II when On Bended Knee came out, and when I went crazy for Thank You. The singles for the follow up album were good too. I also remember liking Motownphilly in 92-ish but not knowing who it's by yet and In the Still of the Night too.

I love how their voices harmonize and I still hear I'll Make Love to You on adult contemporary radio.... it makes me think of how whe it came out, this guy in class would change love to chicken lol

I loved their harmony too and I miss them sanging lol They had alot of beautiful songs from that period. Motownphilly was this ish lol too. Too bad they just kinda fell off-I know they still sing, but it's not the same lol

LOVE Boys II Men. I love how ALL the guys sang lead, they could all blow. I don't think any other group mastered the art of not having an official lead vocalist. And I hear them on A/C radio all the time. Best R&B male group ever imo.

I think Motown screwed them over. It's no reason they should have fell off so bad after their second album.

I agree they all could sing and it's sad that their careers was just pushed to the side like that-these guys had talent. Michael Bivins knew what he was doing lol

It's cause BSB and N Sync started getting the diamond sales they were getting at the same time the third album came out, which had really beautiful singles. And I remember reading an article in Ebony or Essence about boy bands in the 90's and whether those teen pop groups are r&b or not, but they had taken Boyz II Men's formula or something, and it was touching on race too.

GOAT RnB group. They are a part of my childhood.

They are still doing their thing, their latest album Twenty was fantastic.
