The first boy band you claim as your “favorite” is like your first love. You will always remember them as being better than they actually were and irrationally cherish and defend them to naysayers. No matter the time that passes, the amount of failed comebacks or stays in rehab that first boy band that you plastered your walls with as a girl will always hold a special place in your heart. You may realize now that they did more dancing than singing or that even the “cute one” was really never that special to look at, but it doesn’t matter because they made your teen girl heart go pitter patter like no one else had ever before. Blogger Mallory Walker gave you her choice for Top 5 Boy Bands, and now we want to hear from the rest of you! Who do you think is the best boy band of all time?
