Ok..so you HAVE to give them credit! They were a bunch of kids that wrote, sang and played all their stuff! Even if you didnt like the famously knowen soung MMMBOP..it got them where they are..and ya know where that is..Still kickin ass! They are all growen up now, married, with kids..they are helping out Africa and its poverty..and have sooo many new songs, that have included U2 and Bill Withers! They actually hate being compared to the mmmbop boys..they are sooo outta tha stage! You should check em out...HANSON.NET With as far as they have come, even with their own record lable 3CG, they are amazing! Cant really be a hater with out the pure hate do to jelousy. I mean.they are on here, and we're not..got to say something! Much love, and respect for these guys who actually stayed together, are still touring, making families, and donating money to Africa!

I'd bang her...ur that's a guy!!? *runs*

When rating Hanson, I would think someone would take into account the entirety of their catalog, not just one song, particularly a seven year old song which they wrote as children. Anybody who rated the band entirely on "MMMBop" should have their opinion discounted, since it's basically worthless.

i love hanson there talented and i admire all 3 of them i say fare play too them

MMMBOP sounds like CRRAAP!!!

I'm not quite sure why people react to this band with such venom. I mean, they're a pop band, right? Not Beethoven, not even the Beatles. Based on what I've heard them do, it's catchy enough pop and they seem like nice enough kids. You telling me this stuff is worse than Justin Timberlake? Hillary Duff? Ashlee Simpson? C'mon...

i love hanson, and i love rating bands, i love spending my time on the internet rating songs as i am so cool and hip.i love sad, depressed people such as yourselves who spend time wasting your lives away infront of a computer I LOVE YOU

I would rather have all my teeth pulled than to listen to these losers again

Annoying but charming and likable. Played music and wrote it as well. Rare find in a boy pop band.

Pretty good pop songs that are well done and typically upbeat. MMMBop is particularly great.

Did somebody say She-males???

I still can't believe that some of my friends at school think that these boys are hot! It's disturbing , and just...eww.

Once again, another band that sang alot of positive songs, and they even wrote all their own stuff. I cannot find it anywhere in me to show any disrespect to this all guy group. Their music was catchy and it was very danceable. However, I don't think they are ever gonna find their way to the top again. But I could be wrong...

Hanson are a great band and still making excellent music. They have a cd about to come out actually. Go to www.hanson.net and click on the large picture that appears to listen to some clips of their new music. :)

They suck. all of them look like girls

Hanson aren't exactly legends, but they do actually have musical, vocal and songwriting talent, and should not be put into the same category as the Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys, etc. Not only are they more talented than those groups, but they're also better than a lot of the crap that passes as "rock" these days.

What? You mean they're really brothers? You mean.... they write all their own songs all by themselves? And they don't use any session musicians at all? OK that makes them better than 5 dancers, but that's not saying much! And come one... "the best band ever" ... perleez

I used to work part-time at a music shop and remember a very conservative-looking woman coming into the shop with her two boys. After she made her purchase, she saw a Hanson poster behind the counter and told me (or was it scolded me) that those boys' CDs would have no place in her home; as far as her family was concerned, those boys looked like girls and needed a haircut. After checking my calendar to make sure we were indeed out of the fifties, I explained my perspective to her. I told her that Hanson was a few brothers having fun in the Jackson Five tradition (this was back when MMMBop was big). They weren't alluding to drugs, irresponsible sex, or delinquency. They just played nice, clean music that was geared for young teens. I asked if she'd rather her little boy scouts had listened to a singer with a proper male haircut, for example Eminem. She left without saying anything, but I could tell she realized that she had misjudged Hanson. Hanson clearly isn't meant for me, but I'd be happy to know that my future kids listen to that kind of music.

oh my god like um totally this band is so kewl! they are like sooooo talented because like they play their own instruments so like since i only have them 2 compare with nsync then like they must be good! they are like so insightful and you just dont understand what they mean. *****SMACK***** Stop talking on IM, go to school, learn how to speak the English language, turn off your teeny-bop station, and shut up.

I like Hanson. They look so hot. I am man and i am in need. I want to work on my body with them at Nijibs house. Their long grease monkey pubic hair really turns me on. 696969

if i could rate them a zero i would

they are a bunch of girls and they have no talent as far as singing.

MMM SUCK

I don't care what anyone else thinks, but I think Hanson is the greatest band ever!

A horrible teeny-bobber type group. They actually know good music, just can't sing or play it.

Better than given credit for. Sadly, as was the joke three years ago, you will probably see one of these kids in rehab in a few years...

Someone please tell me why I am wasting my time. AT LEAST they play their music and don't dance around like a group of dropout cheerleaders (hint hint, *NSYNC and Backstreet Boy fans). But I WON'T give them three stars. They don't deserve it. I knew when they first got popular that they would never last. I am so smart! (And I predict all the other rediculous boy bands don't last either!)

Hahahahahah!! Isn't it obvious that they suck!? I guess they're just for kiddies... you know, 5 and under. Still, they're probably the worst band in the world!

hanson will always rule they brougth back pop music they will be no nsnyc or bsb ,spears so you should thank them and respect them give them a chance they are diffrent now

dont have anything against em, but i cant stand their music. and they look like pigs.

They are truly the best band in the world! They can stand for what they have done and says what they think, other bands don´t! Anyone can like there music, you don´t have to be like all others, and like the same band even if you don´t. This is my opinion, and I stand for it, just like Hanson does for themselves.

I am going to pretend that I am in a confessional and I'm going to say that I once was a die-hard fan of these three. Then time took its course, and I have grown up. However, I have respect for them because they are one of the VERY FEW boy bands with actual talent.

LISTEN PEOPLE DON'T DISS HANSON UNTIL YOU HAVE LISTEN TO THEM! DON'T JUDGE THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE PRETTY THAN MOST GIRLS SO FREAKIN' WHAT. THEY HAVE A GIFT. THATS ALL THAT MATTERS IS THEIR MUSIC. AND THEIR MUSIC KICKS ASS. ATLEAST THEY WRITE AND PLAY THEIR OWN MUSIC AND THEY AREN'T LIKE N SUCK AND BSB. HANSON KICKS ASS.

No, Hanson doesn't appear to be your average boy band, they're a girl band obviously (especially Taylor)!

I think these three guys are so totally UNDER RATED!! They are fabulous musicians all in their own right, they're shockingly young and very well spoken. I like them a lot :o)

I would really like to know what you guys giving Hanson a 1 consider good music. I'll be honest and say that Middle of Nowhere wasn't particularly creative or great. But how can you diss This Time Around? I don't know what you consider good (and if the best you can come up with is BSB and nsync then I'll try not to laugh). Hanson have an incredible amount of talent and I would really like to see nsync writing their own songs and even ::gasp:: playing instruments at their concerts instead of just dancing around to some prerecorded dance music like idiots. Well I came off kinda mean so sorry but I really hate boy bands like that. Hanson rules!!!!!!

they suck. they are one of THE most HORRIBLE, most GAY things that I have ever heard.

HANSON SUCKS AND THEY ARE THE WORST DAMN BAND EVER!!!

Reading some of these comments really blows me away. Those of you saying things like, "Get A Song" from evae3883et, well get a life. You, and many others, must not have listened to Hanson because they are very talented. I have been to many concerts in my life such as Areosmith, Dwight Yoakam, and many others including Hanson. Hanson was great live. The recording studio didn't alter their voices, thats for sure. I grew up with a live band in my house and I know something about music and talent. Hanson has it. Buy This Time Around; you wont be sorry. They're a rock and roll band singing their own songs not a boy group singing another person's songs. I'm 35, a Hanson Fan, and proud of it.

I am Hanson's #1 Fan!! What have I got to say about them? EVERYTHING is great about them!!! I love Hanson a lot! I could go on and on but I won't! PS: If you guys hate Hanson SO MUCH that you just want to kill them, then why do you waste your time telling off fans who adore them? That pisses me off!!! ;)

hanson is pretty cool!

I have 2 words for you all that hate hanson: HANSON RULES! They r the best band ever and it will always stay that way. They write there own music and play it. Unlike bands like BSB and N sync who can't even write there own music thats really pathetic! I will do anything to stick up for hanson! Everyone that hates them is just jealous and needs to get a life!

Hanson is what we can call a very talented group, that doesn't do what he does for the money. They've always done music, and they love it. They just had the opportunity to share their hobby with everybody, which is cool, because lotsa people love them, appreciate what they do. I personnaly didn't like them in 1997, because it wasn't my kind of music. But now, I really love them, because their style is really different, much more ROCK... pretty cool! If they were much older, nobody would hate them as some people do: that kind of people don't like them, hate them, just because they're young and famous. They don't want to see they're talented, they just see they're too young to be loved... But hey! Remember not only young girls love them! I personnaly know grown-ups who really like their music, and boys/men!!! These people have understood that no matter how old you are, if you're talented at 6, 10, or 16, it is as cool as if you're talented at 35! It's a really good group, you should take the time to listen to what they do, and not to see who they are.

Once again America has fallen into the trap of popular opinion polls. Hanson songs do not sound good. They do not make you want to dance. They do not have good lyrics. But, at least these guys show signs of possessing some talent. First of all, they play real instruments and write their own songs. That is the first step in actually being involved with music. Too many artists today can't play anything, and can't write either. They just go in the studio and sing some crap behind an-ill sounding machine beat and those annoying synthesizers. Hanson will probably be better when they grt older. They can't get discouraged though. They must realize that they are doing the right thing by not succumbing to the pressures of sounding how those idiotic producers think they should sound. I applaud them for putting forth a sincere effort in their music and I promise they will be around a lot longer than some idiot like Sisqo or the Backstreet Ploys.

By no means am I a fan of this band's music, but I have a lot more respect for them than I do for the Backstreets Boys and N'Sync. These guys write their own songs and play instruments and they are pretty young to be doing so. They also aren't afraid to laugh at themselves (at least when they were on SNL). By the way, isn't there a striking resemblance between the oldest Hanson brother and Venus Williams?

wasnt there a 4th hanson? (poor little boy)

SUCK!!!!!

ick. k, i am sorry, but ick. ick ick ick!

TWO WORDS: SAVAGE GARDEN!

Hanson's a great band with talent and wisdom beyond their years. They write great songs and are great guys themselves. If you ever REALLY listened to MMMBop you would hear what itz really about-living life to the fullest cause you only have a short time on earth-Their new album is even BETTER..it amazes me..believe me I hate boy bands..Hanson is definately not one of them.
