New Edition, 1985 \u2014 New Edition is indirectly responsible for unleashing a whole lot of crap on the world. From establishing the template for the whole boy band thing, to launching the pop/r&b careers of Bobby Brown and Bell Biv DeVoe, it\u2019s hard to deny their influence on the pop world. Then there\u2019s this 1985 Christmas feel-good-a-thon, which set the gold standard for schmaltzy Christmas pop \u2014 a standard we have yet to really improve upon. Thanks, guys.
