Worst band of 2005
 

Has to be british whale the worst band EVER

I haven't heard of them. :-(

Isn't that Justin Hawkins solo project?

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

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

Bloc Party
The Bravery
Louie XIV

The Kaiser Chiefs were/are pretty damn bad

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

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

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

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

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!

The Bravery
Black Eyed Peas
Kaiser Cheifs

Basically just too much to list.

The Mars Volta.

o noes i'm gonna git flamed.

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Don't forget Trapt, Default and Sevendust.



Actually, go ahead and forget them. Everybody else did.[/QUOTE]

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!

Hawthorne Heights.

Ugh x 100.

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

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

Oh and the Bravery are terrible too.

Word. Exactly.

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.

[QUOTE=Daniel!]I agree with this statement.[/QUOTE]

"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.

insane clown posse wins this every year.

Hawthorne Heights

I'm gonna have to say:

Bloc Party
The Bravery

Modernism has been a dead movement for the past 50 years.

Hawthorne Heights, definitely.

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.

Billy Talent, coincidentally the worst band of last year.

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

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.

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.

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

The Bravery, probably.

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!

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

1.2.freakin'.3. Killers suck.

You guys got this worst band thing down.

I can see that i'm not needed here.

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.

Nobody is more concerned about indie cred than I.
