True enough, Youngest Bob Fan. I remember when I first head "Mmmbop" a few years ago, I was just an 18 year old boy who had never heard "pop" music before. I couldn't get it out of my head...I had never heard anything like it! DON'T THROW THINGS AT ME!!! I think radio has a lot to do with people's feelings about Hanson and others. Lot's of people who don't like them say "yeah, that's that stupid stuff they play a million times a day on the radio." That's why I stopped listening to the radio. Radio often turns a what is a GREAT song when you first hear it, into something you never want to hear again. I think that's unfair to me as a listener and unfair to the performers. I'm sure if Hanson was a little less well-known, and wasn't played on the radio--just like folk isn't played on the radio, people would enjoy it more. Now that I've broken free from radio, I'm free to discover new music, no matter what the genre, and never be in danger of having it grow annoying to hear. BTW has anyone really studied the actual lyrics of "Mmmbop"? They are quite profound, believe it or not. I also think that their song "Weird" is one of the most beautiful modern songs I have heard. There's my opinion!
