you tried fixing it by taping it up.

Nearly two decades ago three pre-pubescent boys made friends and traveled the country with the five most important men in the world. The men were Donnie, Danny, Jordan, Jon, and Joe. The boys were Corey, Maurice, and Tyrone. You may know the former by their collective stage name, New Kids on the Block. But you are probably not familiar with the latter, Perfect Gentlemen. Their 1990 debut album Rated PG took the world* by storm.
If ever there were a band that I needn't describe and allow them to make you a fan with their music alone, it's Perfect Gentlemen. It's a few days too late for Mother's Day, but "Mama" may be the most well-conceived song throughout the history of man. Has a song ever been a breakdown so profound? And peep the uber-chic name-dropping on the title track.

*My sister's room and her younger brother's desperation to be as cool as she.
