worst band ever?

[snouty warthog]

that's not what you said though. and no, they want to be The Knack meets Guided By Voices, I suspect. They're doing much better at the former than the latter, i grant you

no Dub, it weren't me sayin it originally, it was nino. I was bein satirical, in the manner of 'real punks laugh at this crap'... but now it looks like I am havin a pop at nino, which I am not...
I rather like the Strokes actually, the first album anyway...


well, that went well, I think....


Real thread contributors laugh at this crap...

Aqua and Whigfield are fucken genius! leave em out... and if anyone says a word against those Ruskie lezzie lasses, they'll feel the sharp edge of my tongue...

<Looks for double entendre.....decides against it>

Aye, I'm with you on Whigfield. Saturday Night is a work of sublime genius and anyone singing in a vaguely northern european accent is automatically a pop god. Leave Whigfield alone

 

[snouty warthog]

did you know that 'saturday night' is basically 'spanish bombs' by the clash?

 

[Iam]

Whatever they wanted to be, the Strokes are shite.

Yes, which reminds me(*) - can I submit Phil Collins for consideration. I know he's not a band but surely awful enough to merit inclusion?


*because Groovy Kind of Love was ripped off some classical piece by Scarlatti

oops, sorry

 

[billy_bob]

oops, sorry

Doofus

no worries

I second Phil Collins-
1) for saying he'd leave the country if labour got in, and then not doing so (despite that being one of the main election promises that labour got in on)...

2)for dumping his missus by fax...

3)for making that dreadful song 'oh isn't it really terrible that some people haven't got homes- now where's the keys to me ferrari?'

No Phil Collins Required!

4) He once held a competition for his fans to chose his next album title, presumably to prove what a regular blokey bloke he is. Utter utter c*nt, without the asterisk.

I entered that competition... but presumably he didn't think 'balding tory tw*t' was catchy enough...

[OT aside... hmmm I'm grumpy today... I wonder what's bothering me...?]

Not worse than U2. But plenty shitty.

The Onion at its finest.

 

[boing!]

I can't be arsed to read all this thread, but I would like to add another vote to U2.

 

[Sweaty Betty]

But Whigfield was just one person...and the Presidents' 'Lump' was an inspired record, in a league with 'My Sharona' and 'Turning Japanese'!

I love a bit of "my sharona"......

In a just and fair world, that would have been the competition winner, hands down.

 

[snoogles]

another vote for...

James Blunt
Coldplay
Westlife
Busted

why hasn't anyone mentioned Limp Bizkit yet? urrrrgh

but the Manics in their current guise have to get my vote for sheer utter awfulness, it's made worse by the fact that they had the odd flash of greatness across the first 3 albums...Motorcycle Emptiness and their cover of the theme to M*A*S*H are really good songs. Surely to have potential but let it go to waste in such a nauseating way qualifies them as most awful band ever...and don't get me started on the fans...<weeps>
