Manic Street Preachers.

Their lyrics are pretentious, faux-political drivel, their music is dull and uninventive, and Nicky Wire is the single most detestable figure in music.

agreed bout nicky wire but have to disagree otherwise. James dean is a legend. if ya ever get a chance to see them - unbelievable live. Bradfields energy with vocals and unreal guitar make a super gig. Dont forget the one legged spin while playing for most of us an impossible solo

In fairness, I think everyone here was open minded enough to give these bands a chance by listeneing to their music and from that they formed their opinions, undoubtably the musicians in the bands are talented, they had to be to get so far that people head their music but a food critic doesn't have to be a master chef to critizice someone's cooking.

And I definately agree with the 9/10ths of the top 40 list bein muck thing! Can't say anything there is jumpin out at me. Once I nail this accursed F chord I'll start writin good music and things will change...

Essential difference being that they're all loafing around in their plush houses pissing away what you're working 9-5 for.

==>Once somebody starts to say 'They're brilliant live' it usually means the band they're talkin about are p1ss. Exactly what are the manics? Anti-capitalists? Neo-philiosophers? Punk rockers? or maybe just sh1te?

I can never make out the singer's lyrics, they're supposed to be 'insightful' or something.

At the moment it just has to be Razorlight.

No way, do you just dislike them for their music or because you hate the Grunge scene in which they led?!? I may contrast your opinion, but seriously... you can't be much more off calling them "the worst band ever"! You have to LISTEN to music to know if a band is good or not, and it's a shame to say, people don't listed to Metal/Hard Rock/Grunge as much as to HEAR it, and that's exactly what you are doing (with Nirvana atleast).

Where did I say I never listened to their music? I did listen to their music, against my better judgement, and as a result I ended up disliking them even more because I had wasted my time listening to them.

I really do think they're crap (the title 'worst band ever' is harsh, I agree) they do nothing for me. I love the enjoyment I get from listening to music, but unfortunately I do not get any enjoyment whatsoever from listening to Nirvana.

Dave Grohl now, that's a whole other thread....: )

RHCP. Their music irritates me and it feels like it never end. Argh I'm annoyed even thinking about their songs

That's grand mate, you made your point/ opinion clear, no complaints.

Oh come on! What do people not understand about "Worst Band Ever"!?! Atleast St Bill came back on the Nirvana one, but now we have the Red hot Chili Peppers... they are a great band (IMO), and in other peoples opinions they may think they are terrible, but I can't believe someone would call them the worst band ever, passing such judgementle jibba-jabba makes no sence to me.

It should be bands like "the The" and stuff like that...

St Bill

I think the The are the worst band ever :pac:

Are ye happy now Nailz?

Sinfonia

My opinion hasn't changed since the last one of these:
Hard-Fi
Good Charlotte

Nailz

Hahaha! Now this man knows what I'm talking about!

Thanks a lot! I had forgotten about those losers until you brought em back up!

RoosterIllusion

I vote for any of those new bands.

The Killers
Green Day
Kings of Leon

Razorlight
Blink 182

To name but a few.

It does change of course (on a daily basis). Very difficult to isolate one band right now as there is so much sh*te out there, it is unreal. Have a look at the Irish charts/UK Top 40. Chances are 90%+ are awful. Just my opinion.

Can't understand why you don't like Kings Of Leon. they are a great band. Other's are ****e though.

I blame Sex On Fire, it's a horrible song that has tarred them with a horrible brush

KombuchaMshroom

so you dont like a band based on one song, which is probably one of their most popular. are you the kind of person who likes something but when everyone else starts to like it you dont like it anymore?


myabe im way off the mark here, but its just a thought

The problem here seems to lie with the writing talent and Paddy Casey is one of the main culprits. There is a lack of creative writers.

Nah, his whiny voice and that stupid hairdo are just as annoying as his sh1t songwriting!

Bands that really piss me off are those emo/goth hybrid manufactured "rock" bands like Panic at the Disco and Fall Out Boy they're the rock equivalent of Westlife in my book.

Nailz

This is odd, I hate all new wave type stuff which mainly everybody else hates on here but... I really like Kings Of Leon, and I think Sex On Fire is a good song, but hey!

Wat? And I was just about to post about how it's perfectly reasonable to dislike Kings of Leon... I guess anything can be discredited.

Helix

kings of leon are dreadfully bland, never understood why people rave about them so

battles on the other hand are sickeningly bad

I like it and find it quite unpretentious myself.
