the police,
- the incredible String Band - enter shikari and,
catcher in the rye

so disappointed in all of you, should have gone with my heart and voted for the feeling. I learned a hard lesson about tactical voting today.

Not that I care much - or at all - but I still think the Futureheads are a little too good for this.....

"there's a new music taking over this country... it's called landfill indie"

The bands who have achieved their way to zero votes are the ones who really embody what landfill indie is all about, imho.

omg forgot about indie bb girl

Subtract 1 from the Futureheads, I thought we were voting for the best among this group.

Feel the Pigeon Detectives got away lightly.

what a depressing thread, for about 250 reasons

every band deserved a lot of votes. If there is ever a dadrock type poll i wonder who would win. There was so many of them.

would need to leave out the big bands though

NI at least you have the knowledge you never liked any of these bands in the poll.

If there is ever a dadrock type poll i wonder who would win. There was so many of them.

rly, more than this, or did it just feel like it due to the depressing nature of any attention being paid these dire dullards? at least landfillers are young dipshits having a go.

Cast, Ocean Weller Scene, ?? - who else really counts?

Nakh has done it for you
the rectal prolapse of norman lamont: terrible post-britpop/dadrock ephemera

his trademark tyrolean hat

Pure gold. If only the landlady of The Bear had lived to see this.

Can we redo this poll? I want to vote for The Lorimers.

the feeling 0

If there were ever a band that resembled Jimmy Carr asleep...

they deserved votes

you know, i don't think i've heard mumford & sons yet, but a lot of people i know have said they like them. i take it they really are that harmful if they came second to scouting for girls?

"Bicester is a weird place, it's urban but it's rural, it's about taking the spirits from the trees and the rhythms from the human world around us."

HOW CAN YOU MAKE THIS PLACE SOUND WORSE THAN IT IS?

i dont even know where it is!

famous for its retail park.

not to me it's not.

would need to leave out the big bands though

Im no fan of the futureheads but they seem alittle high?

a few real votes for the credible face of landfill plus a few 'I thought we were voting for best'?

I think ilm's resident kate bush fan club voted futureheads as worst

nah - I love Kate Bush and I like them and their HoL cover.

Think Woof has the right idea something.

Guardian in "shooting fish in a barrel" shockah:

the album didnt sell much did it?

also this still makes me lol

It's quite impressive that even on a list containing Toploader, The Kooks and The View, Scouting For Girls are still the worst.

― nate woolls,

press release from stiff :

Stiff Records is proud to announce first week sales figures for its latest album - Johnny Borrell's 'Borrell 1' - of 594.

'Borrell 1' is the debut solo LP from the former Razorlight vocalist and is the first new album on the highly prolific Stiff Records since 2007.

That last album was the multi million-selling two-volume set, '30 Years Of Stiff Records' (although admittedly that was a free cover-mount with 'The "First week sales of 594 makes 'Borrell 1' the 15,678th best selling album of the year to date," comments a Stiff spokesperson. "So far we've achieved 0.00015% sales of Adele's '21' - and 0.03% sales of this week's No. 1 album from Jahmene Douglas - so we feel like it's all to play for as we move into the all-important week two."

"We might even break the Top 100."

hahaha

In February 2008, The Twang had their University of Surrey gig filmed and later broadcast on Channelbee. However this footage is no longer available due to Channelbee's demise.

ChannelBee was an internet television channel which launched on 5 July 2008. As from 20/11/09 Channelbee has ceased operating. ChannelBee is a new concept featuring new and topical content each day varying from comedy sketches to daily blogs and football. Television presenter Tim Lovejoy came up with the idea with some of his colleagues on Soccer AM, which he hosted alongside Helen Chamberlain for 11 years.

The original crew members at time of launch were Tim Lovejoy, John 'Fenners' Fendley, Neil 'The Square' Smythe, Joe 'Sheephead' Worsley, Robbie 'The Tramp' Knox, Jon Dyson, Chris 'The Vegetarian' Stott, Jadeen Singh and Gemma. This group has subsequently been added to as ChannelBee has expanded with new members Harriet Pulford, 'Bendy' Ben Lowe, Tony 'The Cockney' Watson and Jamie 'Sheps' Sheppard joining.

At the core of the website is the forum known as the Banter Pit where members talk about the Channel and other topics. Members can give feedback on content here and uniquely receive a response from the sites producers including Tim Lovejoy. There are also weekly competitions that in the past have had prizes including a PlayStation 3, football tickets and even the opportunity to come to the office, meet the team and enter a poker competition, the prize was won by longstanding member Sgt Bash.

those nicknames, so evocative

What the fuck are The Futureheads doing here?

mumford and sons 11

this band was around three years ago? ugh.

Longer than that. Saw them open for Laura Marling back in 2008. (They were also her backing band.)

This is the rest of the bill for the Libertines at Hyde Park: Maximo Park, The Enemy, Reverend And The Makers, The View, The Twang, The Rifles.

Imagine paying money to see that.

Hopefully 'The Rifles' aren't actually a band.

Spiritualized and The Pogues are on this as well, but they have some degree of critical respect so it's less of a sitting target for social media yuksters if they're listed as well

as well, as well
