Gotta occasionally give some credit where it's due and how about some to the boy bands that have contributed to our musical listening pleasure? At times, I think I have an "inner fan girl" of One Direction. No homo, just *high fives bro!* ;)
A fan made video for Better Than Words by One Direction
In the U.S. Westlife never seemed to gain a lot of popularity but, from what I heard they did better in other countries. Here's a sample:
My Love by Westlife
Another boy band that was relatively unknown to me was Big Time Rush but they have some good music as well:
Paralyzed by Big Time Rush
Of course there are a lot more boy bands not mentioned here but maybe you've discovered a new band to add to the list.
