Who are the most boring band ever?

[i_hate_beckham]

People go to watch them?

I went to see them last night for the 3rd time.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Neil fucking Young

 

[Sootysoots]

Take That

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Have to repeat the Del Amitri suggestion from the first page. While Snow Patrol, Oasis, etc are all fucking dull, they are like the most exciting band ever compared with them...

 

[DotCommunist]

Niel Young is a fucking legend and his mention on this thread is worse than 9/11

 

[david dissadent]

Funny thread.

 

[Larje]

Wot no Massive Attack?

Tedious, chin-stroking hell for people that think they're somehow intellectualy above pop music.

See also Jeff Buckley, Neil Young, Paul Weller, Led Zep, Pink Floyd.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Del Amitri, for those who have, unsurprisingly, forgotten them:

[upsidedownwalrus]

There haven't been enough mentions on here for Crowded Cunting House.

 

[Homeless Mal]

I second Texas, The Feeling, late REM, and as an individual Katy Perry bores me to tears.

Crowded House weren't boring! Kirk Pengilly and those others from INXS are boring as fuck though.

 

[trevhagl]

Radiohead
Coldplay
Simply Red
Travis

looks like i DO have something in common with other Urbanites after all...

 

[ouchmonkey]

No one mentioned Jamiroquai yet?

I saw him at the fridge when he was allegedly new and exciting and I fell asleep.
after that it was, here's the same song again, with even stupider words.
forever.

although, still more amusing than coldplay. damn!

 

[miniGMgoit]

toploader need to be added to the list as well.

Oh yeah, TopLoader

Coldplay are pretty dreadful,
Snow Patrol (as someone else mentioned),
Belle & Sebastian,
Nickleback,
U2 have become incredibly boring,
Fucking Keane (who buys that shite),
Dodgy,
Manic St Preachers,
Kimya Dawson,
REM,
Panic At The Disco,
The Counting Fucking Crows actually make me want to die,
Oarseis,
Wolf Mother,
Travis,
Arcade Fire,
Kaiser Chiefs,
The Presets,
The Streets,
White Stripes

To name a few

 

[Onslow]

The Stone bastarding Roses.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

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.

The funny thing about them is that their name denotes a sort of pavement-style slightly off-beat indie band. There seems to have been a lot of that about in recent years, middle of the road rock masquerading as indie.

Luckily, most of it came out while I was in china, so I missed it

 

[Sunspots]

Predictably, another vote here for the Coldplay/Keane/Snow Patrol axis of evil.

 

[dodgepot]

alabama 3

 

[Rollem]

The Stone bastarding Roses.

So perhaps the title of the thread should've been 'What genre of music is most boring?

For the record; Electric fucking Light fucking Orchestra.

 

[Wolveryeti]

Travis have to win it, because not only do they write fucking boring music, they are boring as fuck in real life too. I bet nobody can remember any trivia about them at all.

 

[Dr. Furface]

Amazingly, the godawful Stereophonics have only received one mention so far. I think they deserve another one, so - Stereophonics (for further proof, as if any was needed, they're Wayne Rooney's favourite band).

I'd also like to add Muse and Metallica

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Also the Bluetones.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Soul Asylum

 

[El Jefe]

And one from the grunge era who sort of sneaked into many people's collections despite being a dad-rock band in disguise as an alternative band... Buffalo Tom...

BuffaloTom could be dull, but when they were on form (especially the first four albums) they were magnificent. Admittedly they were a bit workmanlike at times, but Sunflower Suit, Birdbrain, Velvet Roof, Taillights Fade, Tangerine, Summer Song - all brilliant

 

[El Jefe]

where did that post i quoted go?

No, you were right, I reconsidered that after posting it...

Quite right too

And Soul Asylum were FUCKING dull

See above...

 

[Cloo]

Lighthouse Family - so boring that they actually waver on the border of existence and non-existence.

In fact, they do seem to have vanished, which they're welcome to do.
