Bands who had loads of success but were in actual fact shit.

[Papa Lazarou]

This one is going to be controversial I bet but.....

.....Muse

Can't stand anything they've done!! Saw them at Reading a few years back and thought they were shit so don't buy any of this best live band bollocks either.

you are soooo wrong, and you probably don't even know why

 

[CoCoa]

I despise ALL those American bands that (try to) look like rock bands and 'do the actions' but are actually playing tedious pop songs.

Shaking your head, having long clean hair and shouting (a bit) is not making rock music.

and bruce fekking springsteen

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

most of mine have probably been said but

WESTLIFE
stereophonics

nickleback
snow patrol

nah, i agree with arthur

i find the hype surrounding muse baffling

 

[CHAPPERS]

Muse PISS me off but one thing that pisses me off more are the people that like Muse and insist that they are the best live thing EVER when all they really do is play loud and use lots of lights. That does NOT make a band a decent live act, I wish Kasabian (and their irritating fanbase) would take note of this.

They are forever winning awards for best live performance and having seen them twice live I really can't understand what all the fuss is about. Don't get me wrong they have penned a few memorable tracks but beyond that for me they are another average teenage angst band

muse seem to be the band that if someone isn't really into music they'll have them as one of their favourite bands

"yeah yeah i'm really into ROCK music, yeah, a really big ROCK fan"
"oh right, who do you like then?"
"well, i'm really into MUSE and the KAISER CHIEFS" etc

 

[Hatterlovesbrighton]

Kulashaker

 

[hans kraay fan club]

On the PLUS side, however, Gavin Rossdale did father DAISY LOWE...

 

[Shegull]

Bon Jovi

 

[Kosh]

I actually find Muse to be genuinely ahem amusing... In a we're clearly taking the piss, Queen tribute kind of way: Operatic overblown neo-prog, that doesn't even come close to the outstanding music of the early 70s I fear they are trying to replicate.

I was going to go with Muse et al. in my first list, but I fear the likes of Buzzer may well have exploded with such force that a super massive blackhole (very clever) may have destroyed the entire universe, in a cacophony of lights, screeching vocals and ripped off neo-classical Piano lines from hell.

and yes the Kaiser Chiefs are also bereft of talent.

Kosh

 

[Braders]

Coldplay quite easily

 

[supaseagull]

Snow Patrol - dull uninspiring crap!

 

[Buzzer]

Ah bless, Kosh is still trying to make out he's not an angry mentalist. I'm touched that you keep harking back to me despite your promise of never doing so again. I'm happy if you're happy. And you're happy as long as you keep with the rehab

 

[Skint Gull]

Bush,
Limp Biscuit,
Toploader,
Tubthumper,
Lighthouse Family,
Dodgy,
New Radicals,
Babybird,
Savage Garden,
Reef.

Kosh

I'm with Buzzer on this one, thread title leads to something completely different to the bands you suggest. The only one of those that i would say have had 'loads of success' is Lighthouse family and they definately are shit.

Definately controversial, Muse are very good and have have produced some fantastic albums recently, certainly not just a good live band.

most of mine have probably been said but

coldplay - Maybe
keane - Yes
scouting for girls - Definately
muse - Wrong
WESTLIFE - Yes
stereophonics - Recently churned out some commercial crap but used to be quality
u2 - See Stereophonics
nickleback - Yes
snow patrol - Probably, again gone a bit commercial, don't like any of the recent stuff


i hate them ALL

 

[Kosh]

Keep harking back... hmmm one mention, I say again: keep harking back hmmm interesting use of those words there - implying numerous times? hmmmm, yet I alluded once, yes once (until now, wise arse) to you... hmmm and you accuse me of using poor English?

Are you sure you're not confusing my one follow up post, with errrrrm perhaps your 1500th post of the day?

Buzzer, you post way too often.

Quantity is simply no replacement for quality.

And the personal insults are frankly pathetic.

Adios amigo.

Kosh

eh? I've posted 12 times to your 15, you buffoon. Mine are also considerably shorter and less angry. Your first post was a rant. Your last post was a rant. I didn't even make the top 50 posters or whatever it was on this site last year in terms of posts either.

You're weird. The perfect walking advert for why people who like prog rock really need 24 hr supervision. You keep saying you're going- is that for real?

By the time you reached the word "whatever" you'd turned your post into a rant.

Happy New Year my friend.

I would support U2, endless repetition since their second album. And THe Sex Pistols. Interestingly, bands like the Cure did well in the USA as well, I believe did the Echo's and the Mission.

Someone who has done well - of which I cannot fathom out how is, Bob the twat Geldoff. Apart from the ability to say f***, no more than most ordinary punters, he has created a career on Charity?
