1. A pop … Read Full Bio ↴There are at least two artists which have used the name Hanson
1. A pop rock group from Oklahoma, United States
2. A funk rock group from the United Kingdom active in the 1970's.
1. Hanson is an American pop rock band from Tulsa, Oklahoma. The band consists of guitarist and vocalist Isaac Hanson (born November 17, 1980) pianist and vocalist Taylor Hanson (born March 14, 1983), and drummer and vocalist Zac Hanson (born October 22, 1985). Their work has spanned many different genres, including rock, blues, folk, and pop. They are most noted for their Grammy-nominated 1997 hit single, “MMMBop.” Their 1997 album Middle of Nowhere (the band’s third recorded album and first major studio album, also nominated for a Grammy) was met with critical acclaim and went on to achieve multi-platinum status. The group’s subsequent major effort, This Time Around showcased the brothers’ considerable talent and artistic growth, receiving wide critical acclaim for its bluesy/classic-rock and soulful pop harmonies. The album failed to repeat the commercial success of Middle of Nowhere however, only achieving gold status. The album has since been considered a trend-setter and precursor for such acts as Michelle Branch, John Mayer, Avril Lavigne, Paramore, Vanessa Carlton and Eisley.
After many promotional and artistic conflicts with Island/Def Jam, Hanson split from the label in 2003 and started their own label, 3CG Records. In 2004, they released their third major studio album, Underneath, independently. The album reached #1 on Billboard’s Independent Album Chart and has since been noted as one of the biggest-selling independent albums of all time. The single “Penny & Me” reached #2 on Billboard’s Top 200. Like This Time Around, Underneath was well-received and well-reviewed for its more mature classic rock/pop sound.
The band continues to have a dedicated fan base and Internet presence, and recently completed a tour of college campuses, showing a documentary, Strong Enough to Break, made about their struggle to form their own label and release Underneath. The documentary http://www.last.fm/music/Hanson was also shown at the Hollywood Film Festival in October 2006.
A live album (The Best of Hanson; Live & Electric), recorded in Melbourne on the Australian leg of the “Underneath: Live & Electric” tour was released in October 2005.
The band released of their fourth major studio album, The Walk in North America on July 24th, 2007. They have released a second documentary, titled Taking The Walk as a continuation of their struggles and successes of writing, recording and producing their own album. After spending some time in Africa, Hanson released a single “Great Divide” for World AIDS Day, with 100% of the download proceeds going to the Perinatal HIV Unit at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto, South Africa.
During the making of The Walk, Hanson made a trip to Africa to record some tracks with the African Children's Choir. They were so inspired by their experiences there that they have since teamed up with TOMS Shoes--a california-based company who donates a pair of shoes for each pair sold to a child in poverty who does not have shoes.
In order to raise awareness for this charity and the daily things we take for granted, as well as small and impactful ways to help those in need, Hanson organizes one mile barefoot walks before each of their shows. As of 10/30/08 they have walked a total of 100 miles together with their fans. They are donating $1 for each person who walks with them to one of 5 causes to help children and monthers in Africa battling AIDS and poverty. The fans are invited to organize their own walks and Hanson will also donate a dollar to whatever cause they are walking for. The goal is to Walk around the World and as of 2/4/2009 have walked 19,236 miles and have 5,666 to go.

Hanson released their 5th studio album entitled "Shout It Out" on June 8, 2010. Leading up to this release they performed all of their albums at 5 sold out shows at the Gramercy Theater in New York City.
2. Hanson is a funk rock band formed in 1973 by reggae musician Junior Marvin. The group released two albums - "Now Hear This" (1973) and "Magic Dragon" (1974) before disbanding in 1974.

Hanson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So if you're gonna make her want to stay
Tell her she's your moon and sun
Tell her that she's always been the one
You've gotta say it from the heart

i'm not sure why people EVER made fun of this incredible band. because they had long hair and they started making amazing music before 2 of them hit puberty? gosh people in the 90's were so quick to judge. OH WAIT... you're telling me people STILL hold that against them? to them I say: LOL. hanson is pure talent; hanson is the soundtrack to my life.
smile guy
Okay
brittany ingraham
Its just cuz haters gon' hate . Jealousy is crazy

@Meowza Katz if i remember right im the same age as the middle brother and just something at the age i heard them made me seriously dislike them and Mmm boop as a seriously irritating song. The feelings were so strong back then i guess i never lost them. i did go listen to some of their newer stuff and its not terrible but just not my thing
Meowza Katz
@MarrisaPlays But when you think about the context, it makes no sense to make fun of them: They were kids. They played instruments for only two years before they went big. They had a hell of a time doing it. They were and still are incredibly skilled musicians.
MarrisaPlays
because some of their ealy music was really really cringe for the 90s and even now the older stuff is cringe.
Monolyth The Heretic
I'm so conflicted right now. For a band that used to make me cringe from annoyance in my middle school years, this is actually good true pop. I'm kind of glad I decided to look these guys up on a whim of late-night aimless surfing. Their sound has matured quite well. Good stuff.
Magic Legume
It’s sad that many people think that back then. Mmmbop was actually a stroke of genius if you try and research the depths of these guys’ music. Glad to see people honest about themselves that when they see other things that counter their original belief, they know how to adjust.
David Neill
Hanson has never stopped. They started recording in 1992. Mainstream America only knows MMMBop, but Hanson is so much more than that. They still live in their hometown. And they probably have one of the most loyal fanbases in the industry.
jaylecia davila
they have always been good!!!! MMMbop was only annoying because it was played 390,283,208,392,432 times. But when you go back and listen to it after not having heard it in a really long time you realize why it was such a massive hit. it was a really good song. super catchy and meaningful! Also the whole rest of their first album is great too. and the whole rest of their albums after that are great. they are just great. LOL
