Quite possibly. I almost can't belief how much these guys SUCK ARSE.

I want to kill the singer. They're worse than Keane even. That's right WORSE.

although see also:

Hoosiers

The Enemy

I think its a tie between the three for most pish.


Although lets give Scouting For Girls some credit

they managed to sell a whole heap of dire albums that were literally 10 tracks of the same awful tune with different lyrics.

I'm surprised they didn't call the album 'deja vu'


The Enemy are way better

and The Hoosiers, whilst utter cunts are ok as not only do they at least try to be original but they got voted the worst band by the NME - So you gotta like anyone who fucks off the NME.


The Hoosiers try to be original?

They're an ELO tribute band, right?


There new one is a mixture of

Love cats by the cure, the Most popular adam and the ants songs and even girls aloud....


I was singing along to the new Hoosiers

because I thought it WAS Love Cats. Hurmph.


Hey!

Do not disrespect ELO!


i get them mixed up with i was a cub scout

because i am a girl and i was a cub scout.


altho

i dont like the hoosiers music i saw an interview with them over the weekend and annoyingly they seem rather nice chaps.


...

...
that's me, speechless. almost.
iwacs are great.


When the revolution comes

they will be the first to go.
Actually, fuck it, I'd happily kill them all anyway, I feel they have lowered my life quality/expectancy by their existence.


the revolution is coming soon? yes?

scouting for idiots, the feeling, hoosiers, the enemy, the foo kaiser arctic kook monkey razorlight fighters should all be banned from radio also :S


if we start it

you free saturday?
(Although I may save the Foo fighters)


This is not

threadworthy.

hoosiers >>> the enemy >>>>> scouting for girls

but they're all quite horrific.


guys guys guys

don't waste your energy getting annoyed about these bands. they are not aiming to please musicophiles. they are aiming to please the masses, and make a jaunty little tune and put a smile on some glum faces.

if you don't like it, then thats cool, but its not worth discussing on DiS, now, is it?


Los Campesinos are worse than Scouting For Girls

but only just. Leave the Hoosiers alone, they suck but that Cops And Robbers tune, gulp, isn't actually that bad!


BAN REQUEST


hurrah

love music, hate LC


You've forgotten the Wombats!

They ate my baby.


Scouting For Girls

clearly heads and shoulders above everyone as worst band i've heard in years.


The Feeling

Surely?


The Wombats...

are worse than death itself!
In fact listening to them will bring about sudden death.


I put them on and my dog died.

On a side note I have a stuffed wombat in my flat. He's named Fatso, and he's quite embarrassed there's such a bad band named after his species


I think I've managed to avoid hearing them at all......

maybe I've subconsciously been exposed to their sonic wares via Hollyoaks.

Are they the 'Elvis isn't dead people'?

Bloody awful name for a band anyway, they could at least have gone all xHardcorex and called themselves Peter Sutcliffe Reconnaissance Mission.


Absolutely terrible band

and what makes it worse is they're headlining my final ever uni summer ball. I think I might pelt them with some mouldy fruit or something.


Please do

I'll pay all your expenses


Scouting for Girls

went to the school right near mine. people seem to feel it's something to be proud of.
:(

good contribution.


there's worse

the hoosiers, the feeling, nickelback and linkin park
all considerbly worse


Mmm, there are terrible bands

maybe musically worse than Scouting for Girls, but something like The Feeling is at least seen as charty pop arse.

Scouting for Girls however is sold to us as some nw underground indie band that we HAVE to hear. And the guy clearly thinks he's the don. When in fact he's the bigest cuntface in the world. True story.


.

I really don't think that is true, they are just a shite pop band, nothing more, nothing to get angry over. There are also much bigger cuntfaces than him, fact. Its music for 13 yr old boys, seriously, IGNORE IT, IT'LL GO AWAY.


Anyone heard the new...

Fratelies single. It's gonna take some beating for worst record of the year.


Is it OK if I don't listen to it?

The Fartellis are only good for that song we all "sing" along to when pished.


i gotta say

Scouting For Girls easily eclipse the feeling. agree with moker, with the feeling what you see is what you get they are schmaltzy AOR/MOR. The Feeling is music for middle class dinner parties. I actually dont find them anywhere near as offensive as Scouting For Girls who are absolutely shite and without redemption - looking at the ugly cunts they can scout all they like for girls, but no girl is gonna give them the time of day...


I would like to add a nomination here

for the Plain White T's.

In support of this nomination I would like to cite their single 'Hate (I Really Don't Like You)' - surely achieving a new level in shiteness.


?


My mistake

it's the chorus lyrics I'm thinking of:

"Hate is a strong word,
but I really, really, really don't like you."

Profound.

Don't even get me started on the Delilah lyrics.


Yes exactly.

Those lyrics actually made me LOL when I first heard them.


The Beautiful South.

Everything about them makes me angry.
Their voices.
Their tunes.
Their oh-so-clever-tired-of-life-but-happy-to-acknowledge-it lyrics.
If I ever get introduced to them I'll staple them in the face and then eat their firstborn children.


um..

one night only, anyone?


General question to just about everybody who's posted on this thread

Why waste time slagging off the things you hate when you could be bigging up the things you love ?


thrash version

of
"she's so lovely" in a Napalm/Extreme noise stylee

Them and the Hoosiers make me retch.
