But yeah, I'm just a sucker for harmony (cf. Indigo Girls).

What? As opposed to the rough, degrading, "dirty sanchez" sex they might have in mind? Whatever -- same difference. It's just as presumptious and irritating. They sing it at her like they're doing her some big favour, when in fact, they should be happy she's even listening to them.

^ possibly my favorite post there has ever been on the internet
i rocked the singles in 6th grade like everybody, are they worth revisiting/reconsidering?

II was the first proper non-kiddy music tape I had.

just curious -- is/was cooleyhighharmony on the radar for you young'uns? their adult contempo side engulfed them pretty quick. Heard a fantastic christmas song by them a few weeks back.
― tremendoid, Friday, 21 December 2007 06:40 (sixteen years ago) link
They were a big deal in my 6th grade class. Since they were from Philadelphia. I think I only heard them as background noise tho... I couldn't name one of their songs.

They were great back on those first couple of albums. Around "I'll Make Love To You" they fell into Mariah/Whitney land, even though they'd still be able to come up with a great harmony tune like "Thank You".
"End Of The Road" still sounds great to me. Mostly because of the harmony singing.

"Product is the right word - it's useful music; you either place yourself in the role of the singer, or in the role of the person being sung to. And even if that sentiment is a presumptuous one for someone else to adopt, they clearly have a lot of fans who want to hear someone express that sentiment to them."
you could say that about a lot of soul/R&B music.

Geir OTM. "Thank You" is 10x awesome.

i'm listening to 'end of the road' for the first time in forever, so good. my older brother owned 'cooliehighharmony' but i was from a more bryan adams generation, so i don't remember the other single names.

the beginning of this thread is sad. Some poster claiming he would have never been laid without Boyz II Men and.... RUFIES. smh.
II is pretty damn classic.
My fav non single from II is probably I Sit Awayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_YWzkXeKqY

"over-singing" where? is 2003 around the time when that particular excuse for a critique started infecting people's minds? also lol at thinking the lyrics to "i'll make love to you" are directed at complete strangers
― dyl, Saturday, 21 September 2019 21:41 (four years ago) link
they seem to be on tour or something now? would try to make it if not for my shitty w*rk schedule. they did one of those cmt crossroads things recently and they're still quite strong singers

I saw these guys a couple years back, they were great but it was also remarkable how open they were about doing a tour mainly just to make sure people who couldn't see their vegas residency still got a chance -- like, they talked about it. "we don't usually do this, we're in las vegas 200 nights a year, but we thought we'd get out" -- like, never take a claim like that at face value, has to be more to it than that, but they seemed so...casual. like, we built this thing, and we do exactly this thing. they were backed by a symphony orchestra; the arrangements were conservative, play-the-changes affairs.
I loved it.
