Get concert tickets to see the Backstreet Boys come together and experience their harmony first hand.
2. The Beach Boys -- Bands
   [A]t this time The Beach Boys management (Nick Grillo and David Anderle) started work on developing and implementing the band's own record label, Brother. The intent of the label was for side projects and an invitation for new talent. The Beach Boys became one of the first rock bands to create their own label (shortly afterwards, The Beatles followed with Apple). The output of the label... was limited to one album and two singles and with the subsequent failure of the second Smiley Smile single "Getting Hungry", the band decided to shelve the Brother label until 1970.
3. Fall Out Boys -- Band
   The four members of Chicago's Fall Out Boy came together in suburban Wilmette around 2000. Vocalist/guitarist Patrick Stump, bassist/lyricist Pete Wentz, drummer Andrew Hurley, and guitarist Joe Trohman had all been in and out of various units connected to Chicago's underground hardcore scene. Most notably, Hurley drummed for Racetraitor, the furiously political metalcore outfit whose brief output was both a rallying point and sticking point within the hardcore community. As Fall Out Boy, the quartet used the unbridled intensity of hardcore as a foundation for melody-drenched pop-punk with a heavy debt to the emo scene. They debuted with a self-released demo in 2001, following it up in May 2002 with a split LP on Uprising that ... featured Project Rocket. The band returned on the label in January with the mini-LP Fall Out Boy's Evening Out with Your Girl, but by this point a bidding war of sorts was already in full swing.

5. Fall Out Boy -- Bands
   On May 3, 2005, Fall Out Boy released their major label debut, From Under the Cork Tree,[5] which debuted on the Billboard 200 at #9, selling over 68,000 copies in its first week. The album achieved double platinum status and has sold over 2.5 million albums in the US alone.[13] Earlier that year, the band's stability was threatened when Wentz overdosed on the sedative Ativan in a failed suicide attempt. The track "7 Minutes in Heaven (Atavan Halen)" from their album From Under the Cork Tree is based upon Wentz's attempted suicide.[14]
6. Beastie Boys -- Band
   In 1981, the Beastie Boys came together as a band but were not know for their musical talent whatsoever. The Beastie Boys, all middle-class Jewish guys from New York, started out in the underground punk scene as teenagers. After becoming a hit in the underground, the Beastie Boys turned their attention to rap. Def Jams signed the band in 1985 and they released their hit single "She's on It." Since then, their obnoxious parody of themselves and their music has gained them much fame. To see this parody on stage, go get some tickets.
7. Boys -- Backstreet Boys
   Backstreet Boys had some problems transitioning from being cute teenage heartthrobs to mature adults. But the group has successfully moved on to a more pop-rock and R&B sound, as seen in their seventh album ``Unbreakable."
8. Boy Scouts -- Boy Scouting
   The Boy Scouts are an organization dedicated to helping today’s young men become stronger, good moraled members of society. The overall goal is to teach young scouts valuable lessons, skills, and morals that they can use for the rest of their life.
9. Backstreet Boys
   Backstreet Boys were, in many ways, a contradictory band. Comprised entirely of white, middle-class Americans, the group sang a hybrid of new jack balladry, hip-hop, R+B, and dance club pop that originally found its greatest success in Canada and Europe, with their 1996 debut album charting in the Top Ten in nearly every country on the continent; ironically, success in their native land did not follow until nearly two years later. The core of Backstreet Boys is cousins Kevin Richardson and Brian Littrell, who both hail from Lexington, KY. The two began singing while they were children, performing in local church choirs, as well as festivals, where they sang doo wop and new jack R+B in the style of Boyz II Men. Two of the other remaining members, Howie Dorough and A.J. McLean, were natives of Orlando, FL, who met each other -- as well as transplanted New Yorker and fifth Backstreeter Nick Carter -- through auditions for local commercials, theater, and television.
10. Beach Boys
    The Beach Boys’ sunny vocal harmonies are one of the signatures sounds of the modern era. Among rock and roll groups of the Sixties, the California quintet place second only to the Beatles in terms of their overall impact on the Top Forty. They were the Fab Four’s only serious competition on a creative level, too. Paul McCartney has allowed that the Beatles’ masterpiece, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, was their attempt to rise to the challenge of the Beach Boys’ magnum opus, Pet Sounds (which itself was inspired by the Beatles’ first self-contained album, Rubber Soul). This creative dialogue between the two biggest bands of the Sixties pushed rock and roll to its artistic apex. Recently, Paul McCartney noted that “both [Pet Sounds and Sgt. Pepper] have more than held up.
