Louie XIV[/QUOTE]

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

[QUOTE=cobert]Radiohead. OH SNAP!!!!!![/quote]
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
[QUOTE=cobert]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.[/QUOTE]
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.

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

[QUOTE=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.[/QUOTE]

Did ICP even release anything this year?

My vote goes to Hawthorne Heights.

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

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

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

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.

i think icp are a humoungus load of sh[size=2]ite[/size] 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.

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.

Being bland or a rip-off [i]is[/i] 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!

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:

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

So I guess I vote for Weezer.

oh we all have that problem

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.

Coheed & Cambria

[QUOTE=OrbDragon]Coheed & Cambria[/QUOTE]
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.

[QUOTE=OrbDragon]Coheed & Cambria[/QUOTE]

One of the best bands for me this year.

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.

isnt this thread a whole load of bashing?

The thread title would suggest so.

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..

[QUOTE=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.[/QUOTE]

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.

the killers
arcade fire
Franz Ferdinand
pussycat dolls

anything by Mcfly!

and p ussy cat dolls

Haha.

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.

P. ussy Cat Dolls, hands down.

has everyone forgotten about Fall out boy?!??

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

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*

50 cent

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

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

eminem also sucks

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 - [i]Employment.[/i]
