I don't know how you define "boy band," but I've typically thought of it as
a group of guys who have little musical talent, so they don't play instruments and rely heavily on auto-tune.
The Beatles were legitimately talented musicians, so I don't see how they could remotely be considered a boy band.

According to The CNN, the Beatles were a boy-band. This pleases me

I mean...technically actual rock and roll died by the early 60s

Traditional rock and roll is different from rock

Okay... but even what you're specifying as "Rock & Roll" didn't exist in the 40s

Except that they sang, played instruments, and wrote their own songs

I don't get Beatles haters. They're the only band ever that had amazing relevant

And you're wrong. The Beach Boys had far greater influence on American music

Love The Beach Boys. The Beatles were better.

I love both, but without Beach Boy's Pet Sounds, there is no Sergeant Peppers.

You could also say, without the Beatles, there is no Segeant Peppers.
