Your worst band of the decade?

Raditude · 10-21-2009, 08:19 AM

My vote goes to The Twang. Can't believe the NME ever predicted them for greatness.

Here's a pretty good top 20 with The Jonas Brothers and all their like:

The 20 Worst Bands of the 2000s - GIGWISE

That's a pretty comprehesive list... a number of one-or-two hit wonders that people outside the UK won't know though.

Arcade Fire and Snow Patrol (who possibly started in the 90's) are two that were at the forefront of a wave of banal indie that springs to mind.

Southern hip-hop has made this decade particularly hellish also, take your pick really

try not to take it personally

No idea how you even consider comparing Arcade fire to Snow patrol. They have absolutely nothing in common...:/

who said they have to have something in common in order to suck?

Molecules · 10-21-2009, 09:38 AM

they aren't musically similar but they both represent the same pounding monotone of mediocrity to me... I am not moved

Hard to really pick the worst band when I try not to pay attention to things I don't like.

Arcade Fire are particularly grating, but there is far worst. As mentioned, Southern hip-hop is a good place to start.

Most likely a band I've never heard of and never will....

Well you'll get no argument from me about Snow patrol's mediocrity, but Arcade fire is anything but and in an entirely different league with regard to talent and their actual sound which is unlike anything else out there...BUT WHAT EVAAR. :/
