Are girls aloud a band?

[Jazza]

No because bands play music and what they do isn't music in my opinion.

[Tranquilox]

OH.

i thought you meant "are girls allowed to have a band"

so i meant no.

[liquid]

i class anything that makes music that isn't a solo artist as a band normally, so yeah i'd say they are.

[chilloutrich]

They do not play any instruments, they are effectively all just singers working alongside session musicians that are most likely more talented in 'music' than girls aloud are. same with boyzone, take that, you get the gist. and just to clarify, i dont agree with the 'groups'

[CJW93]

There fit, apart from the ginger one

[kooldude23]

Isnt a band a group of people who play instroments ? So I voted no, they are not a band.

[beth]

where does the whole band "plays instruments" come from? i was just under the impression band was a collective term for people who stick together? i mean you get a "band of brothers" they aren't strumming up a guitar are they?

but yeah, i would vote they're a three-headed minotaur. the title of this thread, to me, is pretty ******ed.

[Ashley]

I think that they're classed as a group, not a band

[RedStratocas]

Band
2. Music.
a. a group of instrumentalists playing music of a specialized type: rock band; calypso band; mariachi band.

so i guess by definition they aren't. but that isnt to take anything away from them really. many people dont consider drum machines instruments, and plenty of bands use only that and are amazing.

[Hellspencer]

theyre a group
