I'd never have put the Beatles as a boy band. Ok, admittedly they were a group of 4 fairly attractive men but not a boy band - if you're going to call them a boy band then pretty much every other band that's ever existed would fit in that genre too - Rolling Stones, Oasis, Radiohead - boybands? I don't think so.

A boy band is surely a group like Take That, Boyzone, New Kids, etc - who are put together as a song and dance group.
