What about 70's icons Our Kid:rolleyes:Or bigboy band The Osmonds:D(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.

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.

Never liked the "mushy" stuff Take That churned out ..and "boy bands" are for girls aint they?..but again they did write most of their own stuff.. does Smokey Robinson and the miracles get a look in?

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.

Re: Take That: Greatest Boyband?

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

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!
