Ha, yeah ok. The definite article certainly didn’t help.

Still more sacred cows that nobody’s said yet; prime indie points ripe for the picking.

Based purely on watching the TOTP repeats they are currently showing on BBC4 I’ll go with:

Supertramp
ELO
The Police
The Boomtown Rats
Dollar

They aren’t sacred on here but I’m surprised nobody’s suggested Sex Pistols yet.

Perhaps some solo artists? First two to spring to mind:

Florence (of Machine fame)

JAKE FUCKING BUGG. Saint Neil Kulkarni with another epic takedown of this NME-endorsed fraud:

“One look at this gormless cunt should tell you pretty much everything you need to know about his music, his message, his mithering mediocrity - though set up to be the opposite of pop’s shallow show he’s demonstrative of that fact that the way a band or artist LOOKS is massively important, massively revealing in ways the music doesn’t have to be. You can hide in sound. The camera never lies and just look at the fucking state of this turnip-headed twat. A face that signifies his intrinsic dipshittitude even more than his horrific music or his lunkheaded quotes.”

Per another band who are one of the worst of all time, definitely THE STONE ROSES.

Already overhyped and somewhat shoddy, their recent comeback has condemned them forever to the dustbin of fuckery. Awful set of sell-out cunts.

Because theyre not one of the worst bands ever?

Bit of a joke and obvioully nothing sincere about then, and theres so many better punk bands but thwy had their moments

Oh I’m not saying I would put them forward personally, just surprised nobody else has.

Just really cant stand the whole whole storyteller, troubadour thing he peddles. i know its just me though.

fair enough. i find some of his endless spoken word ones a bit grating, but when he hits it’s so good it makes up for it for me.

Cracking shout that

I can’t stand Animal Collective, despite my best efforts, but to place them on a list with SFG is an insult to sound. Also, I will fight anyone who adds Pink Floyd to the list - I may lose, but it will be for a worthy cause.

You could make this just out of post-grunge / not quite nu-metal bands:

Puddle of Mudd
Nickelback
Creed
Staind
Kid Rock
