I think that including the Manic Street Preachers or Oasis would probably skew any poll towards them, as they're not only shitty but also horrible wankers.
not saying they're national treasures or some shit, but I don't think this is the universal perception of the Manics at all
― Jari Litmandem (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 17 February 2011 14:03 (fifteen years ago)
Scouting for Girls, easily. Plenty of the bands listed are bad, but SfG has the additional horror of the singer's butthurt/jealous creep/imminent restraining order.

SFG getting a lot of flak here, and deservedly, but there's got to be more hate for razorlight than this? I remember a two-year period where every festival highlights clip on tv included Jonny Borrell writhing in and out of a plunge-neck vest.

i recall the fact of razorlight being ubiquitous, but i think i've more or less excised the reality of it from my mind.
the twang.

Noah + the Whale not on the list
― Tom D (Tom D.), Thursday, 17 February 2011 14:33 (fifteen years ago)
The Twang have previously been hailed by fellow Coventry native John 'Gaunty' Gaunt as bringing back the spirit of punk rock, thus unquestionably earning them a place in this canon

I watched the youtube of the twang (it was shit) rather than bringing the spirit of punk rock (eg actually "rocking") they seem to belong to that sub wonder stuff school of "songwriting" where the tunes all seem to be ululations between 2 or maybe 3 notes.

Talking of Coventry, there's The Enemy
― Tom D (Tom D.), Thursday, 17 February 2011 14:36 (fifteen years ago)
The Enemy specialise in music about friendship and social commentary like The Arctic Monkeys or The Libertines. Tom Clarke has said that bands such as The Clash and Oasis have had a "huge influence on our friendships within the band and with our families. These bands taught us to open our hearts" .
