EVERYTHING by 5ive and Blue
Most Take That (old school)
Stay Another Day - East 17
A1 - Same Old Brand New You
O Town - All Or Nothing
Father and Son - Boyzone
When You're Looking Like That - Westlife

I was a bit of a boyband nut back in the day. Sadly grew out of them though

Not ashamed to say I've liked a lot of boybands in my time;

The Osmonds - The Plan, Crazy Horses, Love me for a Reason
Jackson 5 - too many classic tracks to list here
Bay City Rollers - actually put out some decent songs on their albums - Wouldn't You Like It, Dedication and Its a Game
Duran Duran - Rio, Planet Earth, Save a Prayer
Spandau Ballet - Chant No1, To Cut a Long Story Short, True
Wet Wet Wet - Love is All Around (definate guilty pleasure)
Take That - too many classic tracks to list

plus a few songs by Blue and Boyzone.

Westlife - basically they've been singing the same song for however many years, sorry!

The Wanted and JLS sound the same to me.
One Direction are just Cowell puppets so hard to take them seriously.

Im not going to pick ones i liked when i was a kid because i still like them for the nostalgia etc but within the last couple of years i think it is acceptable to like glad you came! its a propa tune and one of the best boyband songs ive heard for years! alot of me mates liked it when it came out aswell and im sure alot more did but wouldnt admit it!

too many to mention and i have no shame whatsoever when it comes to music. you only live once, so why conform to what is popular and be embarrassed by what you like? i will try just to keep it as brief as possible.

5ive - when the lights go out/keep on movin/closer to me
take that - pray/back for good/patiences/rule the world
boyzone - no matter what
backstreet boys - quit playing games
a1 - caught in the middle
westlife - flying without wings
one direction - what makes you beautiful
blue - flyby
n`sync - bye, bye, bye/girlfriend
jls - the club is alive/beat again
the wanted - all time low/glad you came
the osmonds - love me for a reason/let me in
mcfly - all about you/party girl
east 17 - stay another day/its alright
jackson 5/the jacksons - i`ll be there/want you back/can you feel it?

Some good lists here although I avoided Duran x2 in the original as Nick Rhodes was/is a pop genius so would add:

NSYNC - byebyebye, I want you back
Backstreet Boys - I want it that way, Drowning, The Call

And for sheer naff value...

Bros - Drop the boy hehe

I admit I like a lot of boybands, past and present, but I never saw the appeal of Westlife at all.
How did they last so long?
I often wonder about that. They were great in their early days but when they started churning out covers and ballads I got fed up with them.

Got to say I really liked/like the music of only three boybands.

Backstreet Boys, 5ive and The Wanted.

Very true - 'The Way I Feel Tonight' and 'Don't Let The Music Die' are classy tracks worthy of American AOR radio.

One I've secretly liked for a few years is 'Caught in the Middle' by A1.

...
Let Loose - Crazy For You...
That track came out just before I went on holiday to the Canaries and it was on my holiday mixtape. I'll admit to liking that one.
