Who are the most boring band ever?

surely if you can remember their names they can't be that dull? i've heard alot of dull music but it doesn't make me want to find out who made it.

of those that are successful enough to have hammered their bland voice and tedious strumming to the point where IDing is unavoidable coldplay win. the cunts.
 
Which doesn't say a great deal, to be fair. That's like saying Michael Jackson is a lot better than Gary Glitter. They're both still paedos.

I have enjoyed Verve songs. songs like History or Bittersweet Symphony were great at the time, I had a lot of good time with those songs playing. and drugs don't work still sounds good

embrace were never anything but boring
 
How are we defining "dull" ? If it's by sound alone, there's a lot of euro-pop/chillout/downtempo/etc bands on VH1's Chillout Zone that are dreadfully dull, mostly because it's a sound deeply oriented to lay back and relax (like the aforementioned Morcheeba). Other bands, like the current crop of NME-sponsored guitar based indie are dull because there aren't any "exciting" (as the mag often describes them) qualities on them (Arctic Monkeys, Editors, Kaiser Chiefs, etc).

If it's on personal terms, while I do like Keane, I can't imagine a day with them being more than sitting on a studio and having tea by five. And then there's those bands who try so hard to be edgy and controversial, the opposite happens. For instance, I've found the hair-metallist great biography odyssey of a couple of years ago completely dull. So yeah, you got wasted, slept with the 4th underage groupie of the day, and then fell asleep on a pile of coke. How original :rolleyes:

this caught my eye and i failed to read any of the rest of your post. :)
 
Who are that new Irish band who are sometimes on telly and the singer wears the same leather jacket in every picture of them?

They are so boring I can't even remember their name or any of their songs.

Yes they are a load of shite. Don't know their name either but they're shite!
 
Razorlight, Snow Patrol, The Killers (for phailing at Joy Division, mainly) annnnnnd Sum 41.

People slandering Morcheeba and Neil Young are spoiling Jesus' Christmas... :( :( :p
 
Yes

Thankfully they don't exist any more. Yes, fiddling boring noodling. Urgh

My brother gave me Tales from Topographic Oceans as a Christmas present 1973 Knowing I hated Yes. Cunt!! :mad:

It says it's a double album in the link, I could have sworn it were a triple. :D

You're all too young, you don't know what real boredom is.............

I think they're more than decent musicians. Of course, a lot of the second album could well be used as anaesthetic, but they still have more sense of melody than Bloc Party (another prime offenders for dullardy), and had more balls in the last album than most people give them credit for.
 
Oh and the Kings of Leon, definitely. Derivative dull as fuck middle of the road 'rock music' for people who don't really like music at all.
 
I suppose when you put them up with the likes of Keane and Snow Patrol in the charts, they might not seem so bad. But they are.
 
The Raconteurs

maybe it's just cos White Stripes were so good, but Raconteurs piss me the fuck off by their lack of anything
 
That's it exactly. Cos my work and uni comitments have gone stellar over the past couple of years, my chances to search out newer and interesting stuff have decreased steadily. Pretty much my only exposure to new music for the last year has been radio 1 in the car with mrs ken, which makes KOL sound like a super group made up of Hendrix, Rakim and a choir of angels by comparison to all the other guff.

i've no idea who the raconteurs are but a flatmate used to be a big white stripes fan, they're easily worth a nomination. :D
