Top 25 Favorite Hanson Songs

Updated (2021)! It’s been five years since I compiled this list and some of the links were broken, a few new songs have come out and I decided to re-work it a little bit. I don’t know when the new album will come out (hopefully this year), so it may get revised again. Back in 2016, Hanson asked fan club members to select their Top 25 favorite songs in honor of the 20th anniversary (and […]

Album Review: Anthem, by Hanson

It’s always been apparent that brothers Isaac, Taylor and Zac Hanson were born at the wrong time in music history – their tight harmonies layered over a 60s-inspired pop/soul sound doesn’t really fit in very well on the current Top 40 chart. But that doesn’t stop them from making music – Anthem is their seventh studio album and may very well end up being the highlight of their career. Previous efforts have mostly been pure […]
