Boy Bands are suppossed to just sing so the girls can look at their pretty faces and dance moves.
Which would also count out The Monkees

That's a total injustice to A-Ha to be put on that album.

It's hard to come up with a strict definition of boyband innit? Gary Barlow plays instruments, so does George Michael, did everyone in the Jackson 5? Do Westlife dance? I thought they just sat there on stools or maybe swayed from side to side a little. Frequently boybands are organised around one talented musician.
For me, the definition is more around whether they've tried to move beyond their pop audience and gone for something more AOR-ish.

Shame on you!!!!
Lumping the greatest band ever with that lot of bums!!!!
I hate Westlife, Boyzone, Ronan Keating and all other related Louis Walsh shite
Just thought I'd point that out in here.
Between them, they've ruined too many songs that were perfectly bloody good before they get anywhere near them: The Dance (Garth Brooks), Easy (Lionel Richie & The Commodores), In This Life (Collin Raye), Desperado (The Eagles), Uptown Girl (Billy Joel), When You Say Nothing At All (Keith Whitley), If Tomorrow Never Comes (Garth Brooks), Words (The Bee Gees)
Just for a start out.
Ahhh, that feels better

Can someone explain to me why LI is trying so desperately hard to get down with the kids. Pretending to like boybands, making knob gags
Yet apparently he feels that its the kids that are dragging this place down.

Where do we go from here?
since the beatles, they've all been utter, utter, talentless shite.

Depends, if it the ones where they have like 5 guys standing there singing with no instruments or anything singing love songs (eg Westlife) then NO cant stand them.
If it is a boyband who play instruments and only have one (maybe sometimes two) lead singers (eg Green Day or Linkin Park (who has two lead singers)) then I like some of them.

That's an interesting point - if they had broken up after their first album, they would probably have gone down in history as a boy band.
But as they went on to develop musically (putting it mildly) beyond pop, then they lost the tag.
