Few were surprised when New Kids on the Block called it quits in 1994: The expiration date on boy bands typically arrives quickly. The Boston vocal group faced the music, and the music didn’t flinch. A reunion wasn’t a shocker — NKOTB did declare, after all, they were capable of hangin’ tough. But the fervor that greeted Jordan Knight, Donnie Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre, Danny Wood and Jonathan Knight when they returned spoke to the enduring pull of sugary pop songs and the lingering power of nostalgia. Sure the group — kids no more — were rebranded as NKOTB. But the rudiments of the music stayed in place: big pop hooks, big pop vocals.
