They aren't from this decade though.

Popular enough, but the only song that was ever overplayed was Wake Up. Mentioning Arcade Fire in this thread is ridiculous. How could a band with that much musical flare and creativity and song writing skill be one of the worst bands of the decade?

well I agree with you, if u check my last.fm account, they are one of my most played artists, but there is no need for everyone to agree when it comes to music. anw in threats like this we all tend to mention popular bands we like or don't like, cause really there is no point in mentioning the rock trio playing at your local pub.

Well this thread goes very far to prove that musical taste is a very individual thing. I can't even fathom the answer of Arcade Fire to this question. It is interesting that they seem to be mentioned in roughly equal parts for best and worst of the decade.

any of those sum 41 type bands

I feel like this thread has been less about the actual worst band and more about "which bands do you love to hate?"

^ True @ Dac.

But honestly, this is a bit of a tall order... 10 years is a pretty hefty time period in which horrible bands can spawn. A lot of them are equally horrible due to the format by which they adhere, so at least that narrows it down a bit... but you really have to sort through a lot of garbage just to find the crowned jewel of most horrible band in the last 10 years.
Collectively, I think it'd take the NEXT 10 years just to get an average opinion on who sucked the most in the last 10 years.

But being that this is all a subjective thing, I echo what Dac said and say you won't find a common ground that isn't already a cliche'... most of what this is, is a venting ground for who "you" hate the most, and personally, I think there are already plenty of threads around for that.

It's more a list of bands that started in this decade.

Arcade Fire and Snow Patrol (who possibly started in the 90's) are two that were at the forefront of a wave of banal indie that springs to mind.

Southern hip-hop has made this decade particularly hellish also, take your pick really

I think that Mr. Conor Oberst had a LOT more to do with the spawning of "banal indie" than anybody else...
