Mumford and Sons

If I ever see that poodle haired lead singer, my fist will home in on his face like a tossbag-seeking missile.

scouting for girls wd get my vote for worst, i think

Fucking right

Wonder what ever happenend to Hamfatter?

k any more nominations speak now or forever hold your peace

florence and the machine
paolo nutini

yeah let's not be hasty

are we including soloists?

kasabian?

Hello?

(hoping that no-one noms the klaxons)

SFG by a fucking mile tbqf

who were those bastards who ruined 'hounds of love'?

no soloists

don't think i've heard sfg

futureheads, lol xp

a treat in store

they did that 'she's so lovely' song

xpost

Wearing a hat. Playing a ukelele. Growing a beard. Attending a fee-paying school.

^ Kill 'em all

kasabian are contenduhs for sure

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

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.

...steez.

do not leave off The Kooks

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.

just type 'v festival 2007' into yr favourite search engine for inspiration

Correction: 2008 more a cultural pessimism dream-team line-up

morrissey shd do a song titled 'roy's tried'

^^ destined to be underrated post

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.

although they weren't in the spotlight for long enough to really hit the heights of your scouting for girlses etc.

Well done, I think you've managed to find the only band worse than Scouting For Girls

babyshambles are the only mention so far that i have owned a .rar by

Noah + the Whale not on the list

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.

Until now I'd never known that the Fat Magic Numbers were British.

Talking of Coventry, there's The Enemy

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" .
