El Presidented and The Ataris

and Scouting For Girls who need to be hung from the neck until dead.


The Feeling

Scouting For Girls
The Hoosiers
The Fratellis


I had an Ataris album.

I used to listen to it; not a lot, but not not at all.

I fully agree.


the others

god they were bad...


of present day...

The Ting Tings


no, no and thrice no

you are wrong. Mexican Wine is a belter of a song. Don't hate them because they're better than you.


WRONG

Bowling For Soup are amazing.


Sunn O)))?

what. the. fuck.


if someone says 'its just noise'

they are 100% right.

it is literally just noise.


yeah, exactly.

but worst band ever? very, very silly indeed...


its just noise.

Plus they charge ridiculous prices for the noise.


Sunn 0 ))) rule

some people have no taste


CREED

Maroon 5
The Rasmus

Rubbish.


The Stone Roses

Primal Scream
The La's
Kings of Leon


good call


Cast

done and done.


....

you stupid motherfucker..


I can't wait for you to shut me up

;)

GOD I HATE THEM.


mwahaah

I've actually not heard much of their work.


The Fratellis

Purely on last night's footage of them at Glastonbury singing something about Mabel and tables and fables and cradles. Poor, really poor.


THE FRAY

HIM
THE CALLING


urrgh

the fray! i'd forgotten about them, my friend loved them, i think she listened to 'how to save a life' about 10 times a day for six months. we dont speak anymore.


Battle.


dinosaur jr

tuneless dirge scenester shite.


Hm yeah

i'd never heard them till I saw them live but I was expecting "Oh yeah really good fuzzy guitars and stuff" but it was just like "oh, is this it?" and sounded like bad 80s rock.


Muse

, The Ting-Tings are a whole new breed of shit.


WRONG

about Muse.


so so SO wrong

about muse


Muse?!

I dont particularly like them but to say that they are the worst band ever is ridiculous


Ladytron

The singer is very molestable though.


pennywise

what was that other one..oh yeah..coldplay..yuk


RE : that dinosaur jr comment

I'm going to save this thread URL and re-post it in three years to embarrass you.

Bad 80's rock. What the hell?


:|


Get out.

You fool.


The Foals

My Passion
Dear Superstar


^ My Passion

Puddle of Mudd
Violent Delight (anyone remember them?)


Yeah I remember them

They used to base all their advertising around the fact that their initials were "VD"

ie: Catch VD on tour this Summer

etc


lets see.......

The Calling
Nickelback
The Hoosiers
Creed
One Night Only
The Automatic
Boy Kill Boy
Orson
Keane
Puddle of Mudd
Joe Lean

an honourable mention also goes to A....

gimmie some loveeeeeeee
gimmie some skinnnnnnnnnnnn


Absolutely A.

Scouting For Girls and the Fray make me the most sad.


Great list!

One Night Only, in particular, make me physically sick.


apart from the obvious (Nickleback)...

I'd have to say Last Shadow Puppets. They make me want to lick an electricity pylon.


its been mention before but...

I need to reiterate how bad Scouting For Girls are.


my god

LSP are so shit, but not as much as BSP


I just think Alex Turner is a dullard

Why is he being put on a pedestal?


Status Quo

if for nothing else than to nip 'dad dancing' in the bud. Honourable mention for Nickleback too.


anyone who sings in an american accent excluding the following

modest mouse
bright eyes
make model
okkervil river.

and by an american accent i mean a ridiculously exaggerated one.


greenday

bowling for soup
30 seconds to mars
etc.


So all those AMERICAN

bands with AMERICAN accents annoy you, but Make Model, from GLASGOW putting on an American accent is ok for you?

With the amount of love for Twilight Sad and Frightened Rabbit round here I thought Scottish bands singing in anything other than Scottish accents was heresy?


wrong

very wrong


Divine Comedy

Primal Scream
The Libertines
U2
If you're going to name&shame,you may as well go all out. The Kooktelliscoutinviewmusichoosier etc are not worth listing,every fool knows they're shite.


I forgot . . .

The Magic Numbers.


^ they are all good

except primal scream


just my

opinion, innit. I'd also add No Doubt to that list too but they are no more I think. That cod-punkskarock makes my skin crawl.


you are a king size bellend

The Divine Comedy are geniuses (well, one genius and some randoms).

Fair point on U2 though


And you

are a rotting pair of maggot riddled beef curtains who admits within the same sentence that the Divine Comedy are mainly comprised of randoms within the very same sentence you seek to defend them. You mistakenly typed genius rather than streak of piss, btw.

But yeah, that U2 eh? Rubbish.


now now ladies...

divine comedy are great. top class stage banter when i saw them at connect last year too!


Personally,

can't stand them - the music, the lyrics, the twee witticisms and whimsy. Really, really dislike them and Neil Hannon in particular.


but without him..

who would have written the music to Father Ted and/or Tomorrow's World? Him out of Kula Shaker (*shudders*)?


Enter Shikari

/Bring Me The Horizon/iwrestledabearonce


if we're talking about overrated bands

then- the smiths
joy division
primal scream


You call those bands overrated

yet rate The Libertines a 10? Baffling.

Overrated is such an overrated word anyway.


In reply to Shrewbie

i have to say I am astonished you rate The Libertines above Joy Division and The Smiths. I guarantee you haven't heard either band properly otherwise you wouldnt rate the Libertines above them. Come back when you can make some sensible claims.


well

the libertines had a big effect on me personally.
I like the smiths i just don't think they are as good as everyone says


have another listen

I'd say The Smiths are even better than everyone says.


it's so good to see

primal scream getting so many mentions

fratellis
red hot chili peppers
cast
ocean colour scene
pearl jam
kasabian


I'll second

Kasabian. Fuck it, Oasis too. Used to cut it, now just flabby,bloated bilge.


teh beatles

sorry..but did you just bypass captain beefheart??OH . NO.


Since being a promoter

I've started to utterly despise bands in the vein of...

Esser
The Displacements
Ox.Eagle.Lion.Man
Trash Fashion
A Silent Film
The Ivy Sins

...especially The Displacements, terrible band and the worst fans in the world


Sonic Youth.

KIDDING.
...
Scouting for Girls. It's just an embarrassment that they've come as far as they have. I don't really believe there's such a thing as objectively bad music, but if there is, "She's So Lovely" would be it. Freaking hell.


omg

You're all fucking idiots, seriously. Quite a few of the bands mentioned have defined eras, you complete and utter morons. You'd be best killing yourself now if you think The Smiths, Joy Division, Primal Scream, Oasis etc are the worst band in the world. Sat in your room with your shit new music that you think is the best thing ever, there is no place for you on this planet.

This forum gives too many jaded fools a voice and it's rather annoying.

Anyway, I vote for The Towers Of London.

Good day to you all.


Oasis are

a bit shit though.


good user name.

but I genuinely do think Oasis are dreadful, although it is not merely their lumpen pub rock that makes me hate them so much, but a combination of other features, including Noel Gallagher, many of their fans, Noel Gallagher, and the bizarre provenance of the untruth that they defined an era.

Granted, however, they are not as bad as The Kooks, or Enya, for that matter.


THE VIEW!!!!!!!

It'a like a high school band that got very Lucky


I will bow to the glory

of The Smiths and Joy Division but I am sorry you are so very, very wrong on Primal Scream and Oasis. They are both trite, hollow, cut and paste bands of the lowest order. Play Ceremony then play say, Cigarettes and Alcohol (I am being very generous here - it could so easily be Roll With It) then tell me do you really put them in the same bracket. If you say yes you are lying and you know it.


primal scream and oasis

are really really bad. then again i do think music has gotten better with time so what do i know


+1

for towers of london. so cringeworthy


:O but you like patrick wolf and arctic monkeys

anyway just because you like different music to other fucking people doesnt mean they are fools or morons. Everyone on this forum listens to music that is different to the mainstream, geddit?! So for you to slag people on here off means that you are also hating more than 90% of the fucking world you small minded cunt.


counting crows


Good Charlotte get my vote

A truly shocking band and a disgrace to music!

Other contenders-

Staind
Adema
Linkin Park (so obvious but so bad)
Papa Roach


five great bands

you where never a teenager
suck my dick


ONE NIGHT ONLY.

JOE LEAN AND THE JING JANG JONG.
SCOUTING FOR GIRLS.
ONE NIGHT ONLY.
