poll results seem a bit suspect to me.

Very surprising and disappointing results, Dubstar and Kenickie do not deserve to be up there. Pleased to see Embrace so high, what made them worse is they actually had a big comeback later on but thank god that World Cup song killed their career again.

Really surprised that 3 Colours Red are so high. I wasn't a fan at all but I don't see them being worse than Space, Northern Uproar and loads of the others, they were just boring rock as apposed to being really annoying.

idk, not sure what laverne 'is all about' these days but sort of feel she is the living link between lamont and landfill, the doughty coelecanth thriving despite (or even because) of her apparent limitations as a 'wry' clever-but-not-cleverclogs indie girl from the distant provinces in the post-brother age where london private school kids and m25 area expoly bros are the only ppl allowed to make shit indie

also kenickie weren't shit afaict

i'm guessing the results turned out weird b/c this is one of those polls where ppl get confused as to whether they're supposed to vote for the best/least offensive or what they think is the worst from list

yeah, i think "rectal prolapse" in the title didn't make it sufficiently clear that this was a vote on bad things

kenickie were bad but there's a constituency out there who believe otherwise

'they gave good quote' - a music journalist in the 1990s

there are much worse bands than them or dubstar in this poll, but that's what makes the result lol

tbh no-one ever lumped dubstar (who were terrible live) in with the rest of these bands

But-but-but... Prolapse were great, what are you talking about?

xpost

Good to see Embrace is in at the top. No, it hasn't been long enough to appropriate that name, especially those guys.

Dubstar deserve to be up there, but do they really fit in? They were more Saint Etienne copycats than 60s/70s British guitar pop copycats after all.

See, Geir has also showed the confusion inherant.

No, I don't believe Kenickie and Dubstar got that many "worst" votes.

Dubstar, particularly, people either liked them or weren't bothered. Nobody actually disliked them to the point of hate over all others...

Given that is says "vote for worst" in about the fourth post, it's only confusing if you can't be bothered to read the thread or are a fucking idiot.

Which category are you proposing that Kenickie and Dubstar fans fall into there?

Maybe it's difficult to read with all that glitter in your eyes.

Fifth post, after one whughe pic and a very long list and a few "eh?" type posts...

also it is a follow-up poll to the other one

anyway, you look for the guy dancing around at the end, and that's who won

i thought it went pretty well, but a bit more focus will ensure some epic levels of butthurtedness next go round

I mean, I knew, and voted My Life Story....

OK - RERUN!!!---

terrible post-britpop/dadrock ephemera RERUN VOTE FOR WORST

Maybe it's difficult to read with all that glitter in your eyes.

Dunno, too shiny.

I think it's this album:

Think yr right.

Funny, on my home laptop, it's less shiny.

oooh well done, that looks spot on

lol indie in excelsis:

"These young fucking art school kids attacked me because I took off Duran Duran and put on [experimental minimalist] Tony Conrad. I don't understand what kids want any more, and I'm not interested in catering to it. All they want to do is dance and fuck, and those are two things I'm completely incapable of."

dude probably means physically, though, right?
