This is not even fair.  *NSYNC is clearly the Best.

Bye Bye Bye > I Want It That Way
Justin Timberlake > Nick Carter

Also, aren't the Backstreet Boys Still around, trying to be relevant?  At least *NSYNC quit while they were still ahead.

Truth. Everybody (Backstreet's Back) is just the right kind of overblown horror and it just works. I cannot think of a single song by NSYNC off the top of my head. Plus, they get bonus points for their ridiculously homoerotic name.

See, this is what I'm saying.  None of you have ever been a 13 year old girl who listened to these albums over and over because cute boys were singing to your heart.

Backstreet boys were so whiny.  Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely?  Don't Wanna Lose You Now? The Call?  The Perfect Fan?

*NSYNC you could dance to.  Bye Bye Bye.  It's Gonna Be Me.  Bringin' Da Noise.  Dirty Pop.

Plus their cheesy love songs were dedicated to girls, not their mother.

I'll give you that BBoys have had more staying power, though. But I listened almost exclusively to N'Sync (the exception being that ridiculous "Who Let the Dogs Out" song), so I've gotta stick with my roots.

Prediction, in the way that hipster is, Backstreet Boys will eventually win out because everyone finally admitted to liking JT and by liking JT you have to have *always* liked him there for you like N*Sync too.  Because that made N*Sync the popular boy band of that era they lose all hipster cred and Backstreet Boys are the de facto winners.

Now to vote.

*post vote*

Wellllllllll looky here, 15 to 8 for Backstreet Boys

Seriously why do you know songs by these bands? Much less have opinions on them.

If it is not for your lust for the clean, smooth innocence of their members* what could it be.

Just about.

I went to England when I was six years old, saw the Beatles museum in Liverpool. Didn't like that old crap then, though, I wanted good music, like *NSYNC and Britney Spears

It turns out that I do know shame after all

I remember the BT-produced Pop being quite a jam - I was listening to lots of Autechre and Aphex Twin at the time and suddenly felt like it was them turned pop with all the granular synthesis stuff BT did. 

Then of course there was Girlfriend remixed by The Neptunes which foreshadowed where Justin would head off to ... so yeah, had to go with *N*NNSNU*HC

Because people tend to hear the popular music of their age by existing in the current world.

And often times pop music is quite catchy as it is designed to be.
