Ritchie: "Bands these days, no class"

Witchfinder General might be the best band ever

Guy on left: 'FFS guys, what is this? I'm the only one who's dressed halfway near normally. You, guy on my left, this isn't a metal band. Johnny... ugh never mind. Whatever you wear you'll always look like a cock. Is that supposed to be a coat or a potato sack? And you on the far right? You want to dress like that, go join Kasabian.'

It's no fun being an illegal alien

borrell's mouth-breathing BUH?stare there is just...so him

that fucking hat.

xp Maybe its some kind of deliberate strategy? Look as thick as shit, then when he says something it'll sound intelligent by comparison... oh wait...

ok voted razorlight. think the classic-rock-star drama posturing annoys me more than gulpy kooks wetness, pigeon detective gravy rock, sfg wanking from the shadows & even fratelli mongery.

also I cannot believe Kirsten Dunst let borrell…

she was my last great pathetic stoner crush.

xp to Razorlight pic, again:

I can't see another chance that I'll get to recount this anecdote on ILM, so here you go:

My dad was part of the last year of National service in the UK (1960 I think), and was based in South Wales. From the way he tells it he split the time 50/50 with raining artillery shells on hillsides and getting pissed. On one occasion he went to a favourite local pub with his pal "Scouse" Robinson, who was wearing a new alpen style hat with a feather in it. On entering the packed bar, the landlady spotted them and bellowed across the room:

"Christ almighty, Robinson, give me that fucking hat; I want to see if I look as much of a cunt in it as you do"

:D

razorlight dude looks like former nfl quarterbeck 'http://c0848462.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/3d93bd2c4f3f1b33c02182fd0f20476f.png'

fairly sure u will find a pic of at least one landfill 'star' wearing a tyrolean hat, probably in the ommwave sector

nfl quarterbeck matt hasselback

There's a pic of Noel Edmonds and Tony Blackburn presenting TOTP while both wearing Tyrolean hats, so I guess that the answer to the landlady's question is "yes".

also that time the dude from larrikin love and josef fritzl guest presented popworld during its ill fated final run

should get a 100+ votes this thread. Will probably be the 1st worst ever ILM poll that toploader & stereophonics wont win too.

btw all these bands are so unmemorable they dont even get in NME's Greatest Frontmen Ever (2011 edition) you would think some new bands frontmen would make the NME list to keep their readers interested. The best they can do is Matt Bellamy!

sfg to win by 50 votes then? Mumford 2nd?

Thread needs more hats

hope yr dressed appropriately&are printing out a copy of this to quickly jog over to palais de preston

^ this fucking guy

Half-pissed, stark-bollock naked and eating a cup-a-soup, bring it on you fuckers

Can you *eat* a cup-a-soup btw>?

just wish I cld be there to see the presentation unfold

Pretty sure that Worthing's finest are safe in this one, does anyone even remember one of their songs anyway?

Jools Timms (22) is the frontman for Bicester based ska-folk revivalists The Lorimers, named after former Leeds great Peter Lorimer. Says Jools of his trademark tyrolean hat, "it's part of who I am, it's about saying I'm street but I know my roots". Tours with The Cornhuskers and an upcoming support slot with Mumford & Sons bode well for 2011, and a debut album is in the works. "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." Citing influences as diverse as The Police, The Incredible String Band, Enter Shikari and Catcher in the Rye, there's no doubt he's done his reading, and it will take a brave soul to doubt these fearless troubadours in the year ahead.

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.
