13 Reasons to Give Ringo Starr Some Respect

In my quest to find out everyone's favorite Beatle, I've discovered that folks love Ringo.  And the folks that love Ringo, REALLY love Ringo.

My favorite reason so far? 

"He looked like a nice Jewish boy."

So I found this wonderful list: "13 Reasons to Give Ringo Starr Some Respect" written by John Bryant, a session drummer who has worked with folks like Ray Charles.

George Harrison said: "Playing without Ringo is like driving a car on three wheels."

What is a Boy Band?

First, I've got to come up at least a working description of what a boy band is so that I can determine what groups I want to feature in my (hopefully) book.

1) An all male group
2) 3 or more members
3) Must have die hard fans
4) The groups image will be found plastered to the walls of their fans bedrooms, notebooks, t-shirts, lunch boxes, etc.
5) The groups image is marketed to teen-agers, young adults, pre-teens, tweens, etc.
6) All the members sing
7) The members can both sing songs they wrote themselves or by someone else
8) May or may not dance.
9) Each member must have a unique identity, so that a fan can pick out his/her favorite.
10) Must have a live performance history

Anything else?
