Rogue Traders, You people may have been lucky enough not to have heard them. Fronted by a totally annoying chick from "neighbours" (crappy crappy Aus drama) completely repeditive and horrible and dumb. I wouldn't hit too many people in the face with a shovel, but she'd be one of them.

Oh, here I was thinking you too liked butt secks with Big3 too.

Pah you're all forgeting the Pussycat Dolls people!

1 singer...6 Dancers... And yet they classify them as a band god!!!

Winter

I agree, and Black Eyed Peas are **** too.

And 50 cent, he should have been shot (for real not by his own toy gun), I hate that god damned ****head.

Okay, people are just being stupid now. Voting The White Stripes as dumb? Puh-lease. And Panic! At the Disco? Now they might not be well liked but they certainly aren't dumb. Some of the stuff on their album is mightily original (even if the album isn't very good)...

Pussycat Dolls-Manufactured crap. Beep is possibly THE dumbest song ever.

The Darkness-The most blatant rip-off band ever, and they aren't even bothered about it. You try and look at Justin Hawkins smug, gorky face without wanting to punch it... it's impossible....

There is probably plenty more, but why get caught up on Dumb bands when I could be listening to some good music and cheeeeeeling....

Interweaving very tenuous elements of electronica into your music does not automatically designate it innovational or imaginative.

No, but having some original flow and depth to the music does.

oh this is just getting bloody annoying, yes the darkness were a rip off band, but why does that irritate people so much, when they released growing on me i saw it as an oppertunity to remeniss in the glory of the great bands of the 70s/80s once more.
justin hawkins isn't smug at all, he's an entertainer and a fantastically good one at that, there's also the fact that this with said with no regard for the topic, this thread was supposed to single out bands who write simple generic crap, permission to land is some of the most well written rock and roll i've seen come out of the past 2 years.
not to mention the fact that both the guitar playing, singing and bass playing (from the current bass player) happen to be greatly well played and the drums does it's job what more can you ask, it's far from simple, the lyrics were good enough for me, the guitar solos were great, their stage presence was fantastic, yes they were a bit of a piss around band, but the fact that the public caught on in their masses shouldn't earn them the slandering of the likes of you,
if someone could sit here and give me a list of good reasons why the darkness we're **** i'd have a read over and consider your arguement,
but to be honest i see nothing but a great band when i look at the darkness, i mean really, for gods sake people...
