I think the Ink Spots would like a word with you

they don't fit the modern day boy band mold, but I'd still call them one.

So how loose are we allowed to go on interpretation?

Is Green Day a punk band for example?

Almost all artists are a little bit country.

Donny and Marie were a little bit country AND a little bit rock and roll.

I'm never going to disallow a submission. But try to at least be close to the theme. The audience/voters can decide if they like it or not when they vote.

This is true. They set the basis for all boy bands to follow.

Don't qualify- it's not just a group of guys singing. To be an official Boy Band, you need screaming teenage girls. The the Beatles being the first Boy Band.

Green Day is a post-punk garage band. I do miss their days of putting a joke country song on each album (first covering Op Ivy's "Knowledge" and then "Dominated Love Slave").

They can, but they usually start out limited in ability (with enough "talent" to just get by). The screaming teenage girls is an absolute requirement, though.

They were rock/pop group. At a stretch you could say early Beatles were a boy band, but I don't even think that qualifies, except in the sense that they were a band, and they were all boys.

Buddy Holly & The Crickets, Chuck Berry, Frank Sinatra, The Everly Brothers etc etc all had fanatic teenage fans too.

If The Beatles were a boy band, so were the Rolling Stones. Or any band with a teenage audience for that matter!

Labels are dumb anyway.

I'm not complaining tho, I'm just pissed because I missed the opportunity to record a Beatles song (:

So, Any popular band can be a boy band as long as it is all male and has screaming female fans?
