A great sampler CD of great music!

Of all of the many well-known "boy bands" in the history of popular music, there have been none to compare with that of New Kids On The Block. This five-member group of young men from the Boston area totally dominated the music scene during the late 80s and early 90s with their slick productions, catchy melodies and remarkable talents. The members (Joey McIntire, Danny Wood, Donnie Wahlberg, Jonathan Knight, Jordan Knight) revolutionized pop music and pop culture into new directions, thanks to the brilliance of their creator and producer Maurice Starr. With renewed interest in the group, and a new album to back it all up, it is time to take a look back at this musical phenomenon with the "Super Hits" CD. This 10-song collection gathers together a total of 10 tracks from the first 3 albums (excluding "Merry, Merry Christmas"). 3 selections from their debut album are featured; "Stop It Girl" and "Be My Girl" have all the trademarks of what defined their sound, and they have an excellent cover version of the R&B classic "Didn't I Blow Your Mind This Time". The album "Hangin' Tough" is represented by "Cover Girl", "You Got It (The Right Stuff)", "Please Don't Go Girl", "I'll Be Loving You (Forever) and the title tune. 2 songs are from the "Step By Step" album; "Where Do I Go From Here?" and the title song. While this is a worthy CD of some great songs from the boys, there are tracks not included, such as the holiday offering "This One's For The Children", the 1990 B-side "Valentine Girl" and the 1992 single release "If You Go Away". Nonetheless, the "Super Hits" CD is a great sampling of some of their very best recordings, at a bargain price.
