throughout the 90s as most ppl thought they would, no one can deny that they certainly had a lot of influence on the *early* to mid 90s...and it is visibly noticed in other groups as you mentioned as well as the NJS sound...

NE's influence, on the other hand, as a group wasn't as visible in the 90s it was the previous decade. The band only reunited in 1996 to record 'Home Again' because their solo projects weren't selling well. Most of their fanbase thought they were broken up for good and the band never really said they were going to do another record together...that is until they no longer had commercial success as solo artists.
