Hanson never made a comeback cause they never really lft they were always (and still are) around.  I still listen to them.  Also, NKOTB.

you do realize this isn't what a comeback is. a comeback means a return to popularity, not that a band breaks up and then reunites (which is a reunion).

although yes they never made a comeback either.

voted N'Sync but only because I didn't think of Hanson until I read the replies here.

I have Hanson's 1st CD and I'm not ashamed. It's one of those rare CD's where you can listen to the whole thing and not have to skip over the bad songs (except M'Bop, that song can die).
Peace and Love

I believe Hanson is for the win.

I wouldn't really classify The Beatles a boyband either.

The Beatles weren't a boyband I would say. Boybands generally TINGE of PRODUCERS CONTROLLING THE MUSIC, and have as much personality as an empty can of sweet potatos. And Boybands don't make good music.
To call The Beatles a mere boyband would be unfair to what they've done and achieved. The Monkees would be a fair choice for a boyband as they were manufactured, stale (even at the time) and even with the tv series (which did have it's high points) had only the smallest amounts of personality (especially in their music *_*). Yeah you could say The Beatles were the main inspiration for the whole thing... even a prototype. But a Boyband... such INJUSTICE!

Ofcourse this would make me fall into the dreaded and pervertedly corrupt hands of classification and genre wars, and I don't really believe in classification enough to take a strong stance (I hate classificating things)

Kaworu, just listen to and watch early Beatles. That is archetypal boy band material!

And Boybands don't make good music.
This is also far too general. Are you saying people like, say, Il Divo (who are by your definition and mine a boy band) don't make good music?

Do you also hate dictionaries?

What you mean their undergound bluesey stuff before they got a record deal?
I wouldn't call that boy band material...

If you're talking about their suits and bowlcut period then yeah that stuff is hardely Sgt. peppers, but compared to the rest of popular music at that time, it's hardely populist garbage.
Il Divo are boring.
Dictionaries are cool, but making up words that fit in with the theme of the post are much better.

I mean in the sense that now by todays musical standards they aren't a boyband anymore. When I think of a boyband, I think of N'Sync and Backdoor Boys etc.. A group of guys who sing pop songs and harmonise. Not playing their own instruments...

Actually, looking at this, I'm pretty sure the Sex Pistols were a boy band... A bunch of minimally-talented pretty boys enlisted by an image-obsessed local svengali, becoming enormously popular through media manipulation? Sounds like a boy band to me...
