Then what makes them different Alex?

I mean tell me where I am wrong...successful - tick?, wrote own stuff -tick? Dont tell me that the beach boys didnt market well....how many could actually bloody surf? I believe 2 tried but were sh*te.

There is not one plausible agruement that you can make that disses him that doesnt not come off sound like a music snob...I'm sorry but its true.

play their own instruments?

and to further add to this...

definition (via Wikipedia) of a Boy Band: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyband#Definition

In most cases, their music is written, arranged and produced by a producer who works with the band at all times and controls the group's sound - if necessary, to the point of hiring session singers to record guide vocals for each member of the group to sing individually (if the members cannot harmonize together well).

The Beach Boys don't fall into that category. Any comparison of Robbie Williams to Brian Wilson is rediculous.

Didnt see you add on Alex but take that dont fall into that group either...they wrote the majority (they did a couple of covers) of their own stuff.

Anyways....

Concerts = sold out. I guess there are a couple of fans out there. I believe melbourne and sydney (1st concert) went in half an hour....

I got my gold GA tickets to suncorp

With my wife being a big fan a have seen a few live DVD's and he does entertain the crowd very well.

Borrows heavily from Freddy Mercury stage antics and crowd games.

Is massive around the world bar the US and sells out monstrous stadiums/park.

BUt in the end is a boy band member who put on a bad boy image for his new pop carrer to shake the gay boy band image and I have to say it has worked immensly for him, and good on him - I would If I could!

Also, Having to get 2 tickets for his Syd concert for my wife and sister in law, I have to say it was chaotic trying to get on the website or phone line. By the time I got on I could not get 2 seats together anywhere in the stadium for either show and had to get GA tickets on the grass!
