Although most "boy bands" are pretty well on the gay side, there have been some good songs written and performed by the various "boy bands" over the years.

Depends what you call a "Boy Band". Most of the modern ones aren't bands at all as they usually sing & don't play instruments, not on the recordings anyway. What I call "Boy Bands" rarely write their own material & their hit recordings are usually rehashed old classics from years ago. They're pleasant enough to listen to but in most cases I prefer the originals. I can't see the point of making an almost exact duplicate, right down to the harmonies & arrangement. If there's something original about it - fine - but if not, why not re-release the original? Still, I don't expect the composers are too worried.

I suppose you could call most of the old Motown artists Boy Bands, the male ones anyway. How about the Four Seasons? Would they qualify? It's all music to me whatever else you like to call it. Good & bad in everything.

Good guitar solos means you have to learn to play the instrument, this is rare these days, most all the current "metal" bands or whatever genre name is attached to these new "heavy" bands play a few power chords, there are no solos because they don't know their instruments, there is little talent to speak of.

There's always been schlocky crapola music for the unsophisticated, and there always will be. Boy bands, the Simpson sisters (I can't stand either of 'em), that sort of thing... yawn!! Who cares? Still plenty of incredible music out there, and with the state of technology now, there's more available now than ever before...

Actually I want bass solos (my instrument 8) )

But yeah not enough good stuff.

Oh yeah and I like dragonforce Ellwelnick if you like them I suggest you have a look at a band called Dreamtheater, preferably the albums Metropolis PtII or 6 Degrees of Inner Turbulance.

Of course they never beat best metal group of all time

RUSH (well at least they started of the kind of metal as we know it before they turned poppy in the 80's

)
