-Both dominated the late 80's.
-Both faded in the early 90's.
-Both eventually broke up around the mid-90's.
-Both released a compilation album in 1999 to close out the legacy.
-Both have multiple popular message boards with hardcore fans talking about where the former members are right now (sightings, etc.), and rampant rumors about performances.
-Both have message boards with hardcore fans that mistakenly still thinks the general public actually still cares about their idols.
-Both have the most popular one (Axl/Joey) trying to move on without the old band. (Joey actually got a few albums out, though).
-Both have about an equal chance of reuniting.
So basically, the day we see Chinese Democracy is the day the New Kids on the Block release their next album.
Thank God Chinese Democracy has a MUCH better chance of coming out than a New Kids on the Block reunion.
