Oh incidentally, I've heard of maybe 3-4 bands off that list. Thank Christ?

The Strokes

Take an band of average talent who wish it was 1978 fronted by a self important pretty boy, inject with a lethal dose of nepotism and questionable 'scene buzz'. Hype to high fucking heaven by plastering them over every useless 'style bible' type publication and hey presto, everybody buys your records.

I don't disagree with you, but worst? I don't know if I agree with that portion.

In terms of success vs. quality, I think they're pretty up there, along with the Libertines...and Snow Patrol...and Kanye....:/

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

ive only heard of a few of these bands, Busted most definetly should have been higher

omg blazin squad aswell, this things funny.
im disgusted McFly isnt in there somewhere, they definetly deserve a place in that poll.

No one has said Nickelback yet?

I agree with everything on the list except for Hard-Fi, the record I have isn't bad and the guy who wrote the list seemed to focus on their lack of cover art than music.

Nickleback lead that whole post-grunge thing and as unfortunate as it is helped keep hard rock music in the charts. Besides that they started in the 90s.

Theory Of A Dead man, however....
