While some things appreciate with age, other things increasingly suck as they get older.  For example, Ray Ban aviators? Super cool.  Spice Girls Reunion Tour?  Not super cool.  Here are some bands that are set to reunite this year that fall into the “not super cool” category.

Backstreet Boys
I can only slap my forehead in disbelief.  Look at what they’re wearing.  But to be fair, they’ve cut their hair, got some better clothes, and changed up their style to fit more of a Ryan Cabrera-ish sound, while losing Kevin Richardson to the family life. 
 

Phish
I have too much respect for great jam bands to hate on Phish’s music, but it’s their age that I’m concerned about.  As they are all well into their 40’s, and as much acid as they have been done, what would happen if they had a memory lapse on stage?  Talk about Punch You In the Eye!

Boyzone
The semi-pedophiliac name that may have been appropriate 7 years ago, is showing up again in European newspapers and all over the internet.  The five boys have finally grown up.  As in they are now men, which makes me think that “MenZone” might be a more appropriate name.  Maybe Men-that-like-Boys Zone.
Maybe Men-that-like-Boys-that–like-Men-Zone.
 
Hanson
Issues with their label, Def Jam, stopped them from recording for years, giving Zac Hanson time to finish puberty.  After getting over 80 of their songs rejected by Def Jam, they did a dramatic documentary called “Strong Enough to Break,” describing their struggles with the recording industry.  News flash – those 80 songs got rejected because they probably suck.
 

New Kids on the Block
They are now being referred to as NKOTB? But I don’t see how that makes any sense; it doesn’t cut down on any syllables in their name.  As they are often credited for starting the whole boy band craze, I’m not sure what to think of them because they all now have somewhat legitimate entertainment careers – except Jonathan Knight, who works in real estate in Massachusetts.  I bet he’s pretty happy to be out of that right about now.

Beach Boys

Despite that only three of the members are still alive and the legal battles the band went through, two of the originals are refusing to call it quits.  Check out their tour.   

Simon and Garfunkel
The once childhood BFF’s can now barely look each other in the eye; but sure enough, they’re touring again.  This is one of many reunion tours since their second breakup, a breakup that happened partly because of an acting gig that delayed Garfunkel from working on their album.  And to add insult to injury, Simon had been promised a role in the same film, but then had suddenly been completely cut from the script.  Drama ensued.
 

N’Sync
But with a catch.  Now that they have a gay Lance Bass, they’ll attract a whole new audience – teenage gay boys.  Brilliant!
Bass was quoted saying, “We’re definitely itching to do some music…we’ve always discussed it.”
The band is still under contract with record companies and owes their label some music.  As to whether Justin Timberlake would join the reunion? Rumors are everywhere.

Cheech and Chong

After pursuing solo careers in acting and comedy, they’ve decided to smoke up a comedy tour called “Cheech and Chong Light Up America/Canada.”  But as friendly as they seemed on camera, apparently they is still some awkwardness between the two. During Cheech's 46th birthday party, Chong remembers him "on the couch with his arm around his wife like we had just met. It wasn't comfortable."
