I do tend to agree with you on one point, that I prefer people who actually play instruments to be classed as musicians rather than vocalists who are precicely that - vocalists, and as for "boy bands" the word "band" is a total misnomer when none of them play a musical instrument. "group" would be more appropriate and yet us old fogies used to call them groups in our day when they did play their own instruments.
Out of those 3 I picked The Beatles and yet my favourite song at the mo is by Oasis. (go figure)

i've been listening to a lot of The Kinks and The Verve lately; both absolutely brilliant.
i read somewhere yesterday that The Kinks' You Really Got Me' was the first heavy metal song - it baffled me at first but listening to other bands around at the time - The Kinks were one of the 'heaviest' bands....the guitar distortion techniques are so ahead of their time.
My favorite track at the mo is Let There Be Love by Oasis, absolutely brilliant - it isnt in the same category as all the other 'brilliance written in 15 mins songs' by oasis such as live forever, wonderwall, dont look back in anger and champagne supernova, as, according to Noel Gallagher - it took him 7 years to write!
The shared vocals on the track are sublime....very Beatles, very beautiful.....sublime. lovin it!
