Worst band of 2005

[Jack_500]

Has to be british whale the worst band EVER

[Tomahawk]

I haven't heard of them. :-(

[Kyle]

Isn't that Justin Hawkins solo project?

[Tomahawk]

Oh. If it is, then I have heard them. I liked his cover of that Sparks song.

[Electrocution]

I'm giving Best Band of 2005 to Black Eyed Peas, since "My Humps" is the best single of the year thus far.

[Zmev]

Bloc Party
The Bravery
Louie XIV

[Dave de Sylvia]

Arcade Fire

[The_Passenger]

The Kaiser Chiefs were/are pretty damn bad

[Ganondorf]

My Humps may be a bad song, but the video is awesome ;)

[Interstate]

The Kaiser Chiefs were/are pretty damn bad

Seconded. One of the most overhyped bands of the past few years.

[TheGhost]

I agree on Black Eyed Peas. They're quite awful.

[Sam]

So far I'm giving it to Black Eyed Peas, since "My Humps" is the worst single of the year thus far.

When I first heard that song it scared me because I thought the world was ending.

[YDload]

In a world where Staind and Nickelback came out with new albums in the same year, it would be hard to choose any other band.

But I choose Aqueduct. They're really really boring and lack melody. The one thing you needed to be a silly indie rock/pop band was a hook and you lost it!

[something vague]

The Bravery
Black Eyed Peas
Kaiser Cheifs

Basically just too much to list.

[Illmatic]

The Mars Volta.

o noes i'm gonna git flamed.

[YDload]

Don't forget Trapt, Default and Sevendust.



Actually, go ahead and forget them. Everybody else did.

I don't know why, but in the realm of terrible categories of popular music, I tend to rate modern rock below everything else, including pop-punk, pop that thinks it's pop-punk, and garage-rock revival crap. Don't get me wrong though, it's all very very horrible!

[something vague]

Hawthorne Heights.

Ugh x 100.

[Jacaranda]

Kaiser Cheifs, I like "I Predict a Riot" but the rest of their songs are just plain annoying.

[Ficus]

In a world where Staind and Nickelback came out with new albums in the same year, it would be hard to choose any other band.
I just love the technicality of Nickelback though, and how every song they do sounds completely different...I hope one day to be half as amazing as they are.

Oh and the Bravery are terrible too.

[peaveyrules]

In a world where Staind and Nickelback came out with new albums in the same year, it would be hard to choose any other band.

Word. Exactly.

[Wanker]

That's what pisses me off about the genre "modern rock"--it's not modern at all. It's crap.

[Daniel!]

That's what pisses me off about the genre "modern rock--" it's not modern at all. It's crap.

I agree with this statement.

[Wanker]

I agree with this statement.

"Modern" in terms of music should explore the modernist paradigm of order and impulse. I see none of that being shown by any of those jerks.

[Daniel!]

"Modern" in terms of music should explore the modernist paradigm of order and impulse. I see none of that being shown by any of those jerks.

You tell 'em.

[Scott Herren]

insane clown posse wins this every year.

[Sleeper]

Hawthorne Heights

[RetiredAt21]

I'm gonna have to say:

Bloc Party
The Bravery

[italic zero]

"Modern" in terms of music should explore the modernist paradigm of order and impulse. I see none of that being shown by any of those jerks.
Modernism has been a dead movement for the past 50 years.

[bubbledeath]

Hawthorne Heights, definitely.

[anotherlamenobody]

Crossfade. All of my retarded redneck "friends" listen to them, and it's so obvious to see that this band engineered by a record label is precisely hitting its target audience. I don't even know if they came out with their album this year, but they're still around being dull as hell.

[Paranoidd]

Billy Talent, coincidentally the worst band of last year.

Otherwise I'm going with the Killers. Horrible, just horrible.

[cobert]

Radiohead. OH SNAP!!!!!!

But seriously, i dont listen to the radio much, so i dont know many of the bands on alternative radio. But Disturbed + Breaking Benjamin + every other band that sounds like them is just awful. And the killers/the bravery. The killers make it on the sole fact that they might have one of the worst band names ever.

[YDload]

Actually "The Killers" would be a good band name if it reflected on the attitude or style of the band at all. But it doesn't. Iron Maiden's second album reflected the word "Killers" in a far superior manner.

You make a valid point.

[morrissey]

I don't get all the Bloc Party nominations, they're quite decent.

The Bravery, probably.

[YDload]

I don't get all the Bloc Party nominations, they're quite decent.

What's this, a black guy from England? Well let me put down my copy of NME and whip my dick out cause this is the hottest item of the year!

[PDWAB]

I like too many of the bands in this thread to post in this forum, haha.

[[OverDriven]]

1.2.freakin'.3. Killers suck.

[D1ck Cheney's D1ck]

You guys got this worst band thing down.

I can see that i'm not needed here.

[Scott Herren]

there is nothing wrong with the killers. you guys are getting too caught up in making sure to name drop groups like the killers and bravery because you lose indie cred for liking them. there are far worse groups. case in point, insane clown posse.

[YDload]

Nobody is more concerned about indie cred than I.

[EonBlueApcolyps]

Louie XIV

thats number one as far as far as bands of this kind go

[Spectrum]

Radiohead. OH SNAP!!!!!!
Is that statement an OH SNAP because:
a) Radiohead didn't actually release anything this year,
b) You're in the Alt/Indie section, or
c) Radiohead > You

The Killers = Alright band name
The Bravery = The Killers + Post-Emo + 80's Dance Music = Bland + Unoriginal
Disturbed = Overplayed, "dramatic!" mess of generica. Tell that man to STFU. And stop it with those screamy things at the beginning of all your songs.
Breaking Benjamin = Not so great. "Cold" would be a million times better if it were an acoustic song. Their Halo 2 song is a guilty pleasure.
Louis XIV = My vote.

Enough with the math.

[BillCosby]

I don't like the Killers, but calling them the worst band of 2005 is pretty ridiculous, I must admit. There are much worse.

there is nothing wrong with the killers. you guys are getting too caught up in making sure to name drop groups like the killers and bravery because you lose indie cred for liking them. there are far worse groups. case in point, insane clown posse.

Did ICP even release anything this year?

My vote goes to Hawthorne Heights.

[Scott Herren]

i'm sure they did something musically this year to try to cash in, so they qualify.

[The Great Decay]

Pussy Cat Dolls

[Spectrum]

Pussy Cat Dolls
Ooh, good point. I almost didn't think of them.

"Dont'cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?"

Kill me now.

[Sam]

Well, I don't have any indie cred to lose and I can safely say they both suck loads of chode.

[pika122689]

bloc party =\

I actually can enjoy The Killers, but The Bravery's single "Honest Mistake", I really just cannot bring myself to like. It has nothing to do with Indie cred, I just frankly don't like the song.

ICP prove most points to be true. What a terrible group.

[Paranoidd]

there is nothing wrong with the killers. you guys are getting too caught up in making sure to name drop groups like the killers and bravery because you lose indie cred for liking them. there are far worse groups. case in point, insane clown posse.

i think icp are a humoungus load of shite yet i'd probably take even them over the killers

i just frankly think they suck. i dont think that has anything to do with cred.

[Scott Herren]

fair enough then, i just seem to see a lot of generic "they suck" comments without explaining elements of the music that they find upsetting to the ears. That kind of stuff is easy to find in some bands, I just don't see what is so absolutely horrible about the music made by the killers when it is taken as just music. sure, it can be bland and unmemorable, rip offs, or whatever, but there is stuff that is much worse to listen to believe me.

[YDload]

Being bland or a rip-off is the worst thing there is, as far as I'm concerned. Why else do you think I like The Mars Volta, when their obnoxious noises go far beyond anything you personally would listen to? Because it's creative, if nothing else!

[morrissey]

I really like the Killers actually, I saw them in concert and they were decent.

I'm never much concerned about "indie cred" anyway since most of my friends like music on the radio and they don't know enough about the bands I listen to to realise how cool I am for liking them. :mad:

[Tomahawk]

Honestly, the worst 2005 album that I've actually heard is Make Believe.

So I guess I vote for Weezer.

[Paranoidd]

I'm never much concerned about "indie cred" anyway since most of my friends like music on the radio and they don't know enough about the bands I listen to to realise how cool I am for liking them. :mad:

oh we all have that problem

[Zmev]

Oh my God how could I forget Bright Eyes and the Mars Volta?

[morrissey]

Hey I hear Zach doesn't like Bright Eyes or TMV

[Spectrum]

Oh my God how could I forget Bright Eyes and the Mars Volta?
Hey I hear Zach doesn't like Bright Eyes or TMV
Let's go find him and beat him up.

/Doesn't know any Bright Eyes
/Was shortly obsessed with TMV and is now partway over them

Erm, maybe not.

[OrbDragon]

Coheed & Cambria

[rbv]

Coheed & Cambria
Hell no.

Anyways, I give it to the pussycat dolls, hawthorne heights and maybe black eyed peas.

And it's not 2005 but there's this really irrritating filipino song circulating around here and it's horrible. It's horrible dance music. It's called "ocho ocho" or some lame thing like that.

[Bad Blood]

Coheed & Cambria

One of the best bands for me this year.

[br3ad_man]

Hawthorne Heights I think. The Bravery have one ok song and The Killers have a couple. It's a similar thing with Bright Eyes, he's not really that good but has a couple of ok songs.

[Get Fighted]

isnt this thread a whole load of bashing?

[Zmev]

The thread title would suggest so.

[Jonney Blazes V1]

Franz Ferdinand- I just don't understand all the hype about them, I just them dull, boring, unimagnative, and not all that good at all..

[Dextomethorphan]

Crossfade. All of my retarded redneck "friends" listen to them, and it's so obvious to see that this band engineered by a record label is precisely hitting its target audience. I don't even know if they came out with their album this year, but they're still around being dull as hell.

Agreed. Very well-worded. But at the same time I wouldn't just mention them, I would also unclude the dozen or so other Disturbed-ish bands that were already mentioned. As far at THE worst, I would just lump all of these "modern rock" bands into one, since, combined, they almost have as much creativity as some of the pop-punk bands mentioned.

[Lydisk]

the killers
arcade fire
Franz Ferdinand
pussycat dolls

[black-knight]

anything by Mcfly!

and p ussy cat dolls

[Happymeal]

And it's not 2005 but there's this really irrritating filipino song circulating around here and it's horrible. It's horrible dance music. It's called "ocho ocho" or some lame thing like that.

Haha.

[MindlessPickle]

I can't really figure out this whole hatred against Bloc Party, I remember a long time ago they were praised here at the forum, and then when they suddenly become a bit famous you can't stand them??

And about Arcade Fire, yeah, they're a bit overrated, still, Funeral is a decent album. There is MUCH worse bands out there in the Alt/indie genre.

[Echinacea]

P. ussy Cat Dolls, hands down.

[bov]

has everyone forgotten about Fall out boy?!??

[Kyle]

I agree. I don't really like Bloc Party but the album isn't exactly a bad one. And I still love Funeral.

[Interstate]

Ooh, good point. I almost didn't think of them.

"Dont'cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?"

Kill me now.

Please don't, I have a terrible flashback whenever I hear that song. I was on holiday in Majorca with my friends when it happened. I was in a bar with one of my mates and this song came on. This fat whale of a girl proceeded to start 'dancing', there was flab hanging out everywhere, I nearly choked on my JD and coke.

*shudders*

[braindoctor]

50 cent

[deathscreamingsheep]

The Bravery are terrible and completely undeserving of their hype. Also Babyshambles are pretty bad.

[PureAndEasy]

To me, Hedley is the worst band I've heard this year.

[braindoctor]

eminem also sucks

[guitarded_chuck]

There's this annoying, whiny band called Hedley. I think they're Canadian so you guys might not have heard them. My girlfriend asked me to take her to their show last night. YEAH RIGHT

Also:
Hawthorne Hights
The Bravery
Bloc Party

Hmm, I like a few songs by The Killers, and I like Kaiser Chiefs - Employment.

[cobert]

Is that statement an OH SNAP because:
a) Radiohead didn't actually release anything this year,
b) You're in the Alt/Indie section, or
c) Radiohead > You


Its cause im in the alt/indie section, and i remember everyone here loving them. I dont actually dislike them, i said it just to be a d'ick.




The Killers = Alright band name

Breaking Benjamin = Not so great. "Cold" would be a million times better if it were an acoustic song. Their Halo 2 song is a guilty pleasure.
Louis XIV = My vote.

Killers = AWFUL band name, imo

I think you got the bravery down pretty good

Disturbed= some of the corniest lyrics ever + weird constapated sounding growling singer = white trash

Breaking Benjamin= Sounds like Disturbed, with a different singer. I havent heard the halo 2 song, but i hear its surprisingly good.

[cobert]

Coheed & Cambria

Wrong.

And the mars volta are still good for me.

[Baliente]

I think someone said 50 Cent.

I'd have to agree. The whole building a career off being shot 9 times thing seems a little over-done to me. And his book, movie, and video game. I saw a trailer for his video game, totally random. I remember seeing him hit some guy with a suitcase, and out of nowhere the suitcase blew up.

All the bands that copy the Strokes and the Killers.

Arcade Fire

Kaiser Chiefs, hands down, followed by the Killers. Useless.

I just love the technicality of Nickelback though, and how every song they do sounds completely different...I hope one day to be half as amazing as they are.

Sarcasm there me boy?

[Rats!]

They are basically riding on the Strokes' and Killers' fame. I know the Strokes and the Killers aren't original at all, but if it wasn't for them, then 90% of the other bands mentioned in this thread would still be playing in their mom's garage.

[Kyle]

I don't agree:thumb:

I'd say bands like the Kaiser Chiefs are probably more influenced by Britpop whilst bands like Bloc Party are probably influenced by the likes Velvet Underground (Who isn't influenced by Velvet Underground). Alot of the bands mentioned were also formed before or at the same time as The Killers and the Strokes making their influence likely to be minimal. And even suggesting that bands like Arcade Fire are influenced by the strokes is just silly.

[Finch88]

trivium or shinedown

Whoa I forgot My Chemical Romance!

I meant they wouldn't be famous if it wasn't for the Killers and the Strokes.

Some were influenced by them. I read that the Bravery had a totally different style before they became popular.

I find it funny that at least half the bands listed are older than the killers, and maybe a quarter are older than the Strokes, so if anything the "copying" is reversed. Unless that's not what you were getting at.

[YDload]

The Killers just broke out last year, why are they in the same league as The Strokes, who were arguably the first band to explode with this type of music?

The Strokes or The Killers better than Arcade Fire or Death Cab? Puhleez. All you people(lurkers) say that they're bad now cause someone else did a few months ago.

[superpeer]

The Killers are pretty awful.

[Sound Boy]

My chemical romance and black eyed peas can bite a dick...in fact i think they do anyway but thats besides the point

i dont understand why everyone is on this "rant rock stage"..i hate that crap..this includes the hold steady, Ponys, no means no, and a couple other bands not worth mentioning

[Baliente]

I forgot MCR as well. I hate them. Especially how they call themselves punk when they're so clearly emo.

[YDload]

They're not emo, they're pop-punk.

[Kyle]

They're not even emo......but it doesn't matter; whatever they are they are bloody awful.

[Rats!]

No, I think they're bad because I heard their music and I think they suck.

[Sam]

They're not emo, they're pop-punk.

I may even go as far as to say they're just pop. God awful pop at that.

I recently found out that Lou Barlow likes My Chemical Romance....:upset:

[Rats!]

I didn't mean for that list to be only of bands who copied the Strokes and the Killers, they are just bands whose music from 2005 sucks.

[Happymeal]

No, I think they're bad because I heard their music and I think they suck.

You should've put "I think" in the first place then.

And your first statement makes me think that you haven't really listened to those bands at all.

I think Bloc Party are not alone the worst band this year but ever,they are like a United Colours of Beniton ad, all politicaly correct like!!!!!

By the way "hey" im new:thumb:

[Sound Boy]

MCR are scremo!!!!

they arnt called screamo
they arnt called Emo or poppunk or power pop or any other name you wanna come up with...they are called CRAP...they are a wanna be the Used and the used is just an overproduced band that just happens to have a good first cd. now if you wanna base your sound off of that. then im gonna call you crap. and if you look like girls in your video and in your "performances" then im gonna call you Girly-Crap...grow some balls. learn how to play your instruments. and learn how to be original. that is all.

if guys dress like girls (hence the MCR, the killers, the bravery) then im not gonna take you seriously and im gonna call you a tranny..your not gonna last past a couple of radio/video hits. your food for 14 year-old babies. the only person that can dress like a girl and get away with it is Eddie Izzard and thats cause he's funny as hell. i see nothing funny about any of you idiots

[morrissey]

Alright, enough trying to justify ignorance. You don't like them, fair enough. It doesn't have to go any further.

Wow, you are REALLY bad at posting here. Learn more about these bands if you're going to make fun of them. If that's too painful for you then just shut up.

[Sound Boy]

i wouldnt talk about them if i didnt know about them. i give everything a listen before i comment on them.

[YDload]

I doubt you're very familiar with anything other than how cool it is to hate it. MCR is one of the few pop-punk bands to try their hand at guitar solos, and they're fairly competent at it so you don't need to tell them how to play their instruments. And The Killers don't dress like girls, I don't know where you got that from.

[Spectrum]

Coheed & Cambria
I disagree. I think that this year's effort is their most "difficult" album, as in difficult to get into, but I've actually found that I really like it. And, despite their flaws, there have been much, much worse to come out with music this year. Co&Ca like to release catchy singles and obtuse albums, meaning the albums hardly defined by the singles - if they had whole albums like "A Favor House Atlantic" or "The Suffering", they'd sound more like Fall Out Boy with a girl.
Its cause im in the alt/indie section, and i remember everyone here loving them. I dont actually dislike them, i said it just to be a d'ick.
I actually figured as much.
Disturbed= some of the corniest lyrics ever + weird constapated sounding growling singer = white trash
Breaking Benjamin= Sounds like Disturbed, with a different singer. I havent heard the halo 2 song, but i hear its surprisingly good.
You've got Disturbed pretty pegged, nothing lyrically original that I've heard. Some moderately interesting technique in "Stricken", but still nothing worth my time. Breaking Benjamin are, I find, actually better than Disturbed in regards to playing, but they are still Nu-Metal meh. You should check out "Blow Me Away". In the context of Halo 2, it actually is pretty cool.

[Sound Boy]

im not hating it just to hate it...i know plenty of pop-punk bands that guitar solo. Finch, Zebrahead, Reggie and the full effect, underoath, Rufio, matchbook romance and brand new

as for the killers the lead singer wears make up and when i met him at a show he was acting like a girl. dont get me wrong i liked that album but i feel like their next album will be a let down.

Okay, I guess hating The Killers for a weird reason isn't so bad.

The fact that you MET the singer of the band, however, is lamer than anything you've posted so far :)

So you hate bands because of what they wear and because they might look like girls/are homosexual? You're a smart one.

I think Bloc Party are not alone the worst band this year but ever,they are like a United Colours of Beniton ad, all politicaly correct like!!!!!
yeah they'd be better if they were all coloured the same colour.

nope...read the sentences above what i wrote...the looking like girls is just an added bonus...and dressing like a girl has nothing to do with being homosexual. so where that assumption comes from is your own dimise

Yeah sorry I didn't read said sentences, but I read that other post and it made you seem like a total douche.

In that case can we be a total douche to you?

As someone said ICP automatically wins this since I hear they sort of release something every year. Runner-up would be something like Nickelback for me. The Killers and Franz are pretty awful as well.

Coheed & Cambria were one of the more decent bands I've discovered in the past several months.

Also I find it difficult to call anything with even a minute amount of hard singing and relatively loud crunching guitars to be purely "pop". MCR would sit on powerpop for me, it makes no sense to place them in the same genre as Christina Aguilera, not that either are superior to each other.

yeah thats fine...but i dont know for what reason you'd be a douche to me beings that you just seconded everything i said with your post. i mean i dont talk $hit about anyone in this forum..your all cool to me we listen to alot of the same good bands. i just posted my beef about MCR (like alot of people inthis thread did) and you jump all over me.

Alright I'm glad we've read a solid conclusion and everyone is happy, let's try this again next year!
