La música alternativa es uno de los estilos musicales más populares a nivel internacional. El rock alternativo fue producido como una alternativa a la música a finales de los 80 y principio de los 90. Siendo en esta última década donde alcanza gran aceptación por parte de los amantes de la música, y esto se debió en gran medida a la colaboración de bandas punk de los años 70 y 80. La baja en popularidad del rock alternativo fue debido a la sobresaturación del mercado causado por los ejecutivos de compañías disqueras quienes solo pensaban en ganar plata.
Boyz II Men es un grupo de R&B/soul de Filadelfia, Pennsylvania. Fundado en 1988 como un quinteto, aunque el grupo alcanzaría la fama como cuarteto con Wanya Morris, Michael McCary, Shawn Stockman y Nathan Morris, en Motown Records durante principios de la década de los 90.
En cuanto a ventas se refiere, Boyz II Men es uno de los grupos más exitosos de R&B de todos los tiempos. Han colocado cinco singles en el #1 entre 1992 y 1997, y desde entonces han vendido más de 60 millones de discos. Tres de sus números uno, "End of the Road", "I'll Make Love to You" y "One Sweet Day" (un dueto con Mariah Carey), rompieron récords de periodos más largos de tiempo de un single en el #1 de Billboard Hot 100.

War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y'all
War, huh
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
Ohhh, war, I despise
Because it means destruction
Of innocent lives
War means tears
To thousands of mothers eyes
When their sons go to fight
And lose their lives
War, huh
Good God, y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War, whoa
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
(Wanya)
War, it ain't nothing
But a heartbreaker
What is it good for, friend only to the undertaker
Ooooh, war
It's an enemy to all mankind
The point of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest
Within the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die
Aaaaah, war-huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War, huh
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Come on let me hear
(Solo)
War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
It's got one friend
That's the undertaker
War, has shattered
Many a young mans dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is much to short and precious
To spend fighting wars these days
War can't give life
It can only take it away
Ooooh, war, huh
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again y'all
War, whoa
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Come on say...
War, whoa
Come on shout it y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Come on, come on now
And it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
Friend only to the undertaker
(Shawn)
Peace, love and understanding
Tell me, is there no place for them today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord knows there's got to be a better way
Ooooooh, war, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again y'all
War, huh
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again y'all
War, huh
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
