But the album and the band have also been dismissed, derided and deemed uncool by the music establishment. Almost 30 years later, the New Kids still perform the songs from 'Hangin' Tough'.Hundreds of thousands of grown women still flock to their concerts to hear - and go bat-shit crazy for - the songs they first heard when they were teenagers. Is this mere nostalgia or can the science of music help explain the enduring success of 'Hangin' Tough'? What is it about this album that made it so special? Is the music any good or are there other factors at play too?
