What about 70's icons Our KidOr bigboy band The Osmonds(all white teeth).....those cheeky young chaps The Monkees were ace.I'm sure there are many more from bygone times who would put todays current crop of schmaltz loving covers crooners to shame.

What about those 60's heart throbs, The Walker Brothers? At least, two of 'em could sing, which is more than you could say about most of these modern boy bands.

Re: Take That: Greatest Boyband?
Take That have certainly been very successful and have enjoyed a long career.

I like them but when I was at school I loved East 17.

Scott Walker's still one of my favourites, even if he is nuts.

BoyBands get a load of this 1956, before the muppets were even thought of.

I agree. The Beatles weren't a boyband.

You need to be auditioned by some Svengali, to be one.

The first boyband was the Monkees.

funny how the term BoyBand never took off over here in the US , to call someone a Boy ....especially members of groups like the Drifters, 4 Tops, etc. .....is an insult and your 99% sure of a well deserved ass kicking

I'd say more like 100% sure.. once saw the drifters at the cav or whatever it was before then ..Blackburn of all places.. some insults were thrown about and the band steamed in at the bar..great fun all around...they did the second half and were fantastic.

Just watched NKOTB on the TV, not realising who they were. Must admit, they were pretty darn good.

But gotta go with Take That as best boy band, even though I'm from the Beatles era, never thought of them as a "boy band" They transcended that!
