^Editors are a big one for me.
Also:Maximo Park.

Oh God yeah Maximo Park. One of my friends absolutely adores them, albeit it's probably because she's from Newcastle. A part of me thinks if she was from elsewhere she wouldn't be bothered. They are SO dull.

Just about anything that ends in "-core", or any indie bands that aren't dancey.

I cannot fathom how someone can listen to something enough to consider it boring.

If you don't like something, you don't listen, if you don't listen, then how can you find it boring? I don't like U2 or Coldplay, but I know they aren't boring. Some of the bands people have mentioned are unjustifiable imo

That's false. Finding something boring doesn't mean you dislike it, or that you're not trying to like it. It means it was unremarkable to the listener. I've found tons of stuff boring this year; even albums by bands who previously released my favourite albums.

Best Coast was boring because all but three songs are in the same key and they're all written about getting high, for example. Obviously I listened, if I can describe to you what was boring about it.

I've listened enough to the bands I listed to turn them off because I found them boring.

Hinder
Buckcherry
Theory of a Deadman
Nickelback
Three Days Grace
Seether

They all make that tired rock that seems to be really appealing to rednecks for whatever reason.

Vampire Weekend and Wilco instantly come to mind.
