Your worst band of the decade?

Raditude · 10-21-2009, 07:19 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

...ditto on it being the decade of banal indie/college rock/yuppie rock.

here's some things that I thought sucked(not necessarily any band in particular):

-Revival of some of the crappiest music of the 80's.
-classic rock/cheesy metal revivals
-too many gimmicks-screaming/emotional singing duos, dance-punk/new wave revival, auto-tune,
-selling out becoming no big deal

Outkast?

I don't think there is anything wrong with Outkast, and I say that with conviction. One of the few truly commercially huge hip hop groups to retain some sort of artistic merit. The Love Below is tops.

They're from the south but not from this decade so they're probably not who he was thinking of.

I agree somewhat here, they try to sound to cynical in there lyrics with topics that include religion, politics. To me a band that trys too hard to be rebelious is a turn off. I can't stand the lead singer.

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?
