Over-rated Bands

A generic pop band (I refuse to call them pop rock). They sound EXACTLY (no word of a lie) like their contemparies We the Kings, All Time Low and You Me At Six.

I checked these guys out on Youtube as several people at my college like them. I cried myself to sleep that night at the prospect of such an awful band existing. Then they went to see them live on a tour that also included You Me at Six and We the Kings. Having not heard We the Kings beforehand, I listened to them after I thought I would back up my hatred for these guys by giving them another listen. My feelings did not change. Since the bands are all clones of each other, I actually forgot I was no longer watching these guys mince around in a pop video and was now, in fact, watching and listening to We the Kings. At first this honest mistake was down to the fact they look and dress the same (yep) and you would think the music would have served as a pleasent reminder that they were different. You'd be wrong. Awful band amongst awful bands my friends.

Worst Song: Woah Oh (Me vs. Everyone)

Hideous.

Worst Song: Woah

Yes, We the Kings and Forever the Sickest Kids both have a song called 'woah' or something to that effect, in which the lyrics are 'woah oh' just sung slightly differently than each other. Same voice pitch though, since they are the same basic band.

Another pop band that masquerade as rock. 'Non comformist' conformists ('Scene' kids that think they are being individual when they aren't) lap these guys up like they do with the previous two bands and the following You Me At Six.

Worst Song: Damned If I Do Ya

His singing is like noise to me. It sounds so bad, out of key and irritating.

And what is it with having the word Kids in names?

Worst Song: Easy Tiger

Every time I hear a band like this it feels like a bout of Déjà vu because they all sound so damn similar! Cashing in on a popular music craze rather than making real music? Yes.

Worst Song: Save It For the Bedroom

If I hear another teenager who is trying to be edgy but is in actual fact conforming rant on and on about how great this useless band are I will probably go on a killing rampage.

Worst Song: Sorry, You're Not a Winner (Ironicly, neither is this band).

Another band that jumped the same bandwagon as other wannabe rock groups such as You Me At Six. All sounds the same. All sounds shit. When will people start listening more original music?

Worst Song: My Friends Over You

Oh God, what is it about this group I don't like? I can't put my finger on it but I'm pretty sure it is EVERYTHING. Jared Leto's voice just grates on me.

Worst Song: From Yesterday

Someone please explain to me why the shit singer of Blink 182 went and got a group?

Worst Song: Everything's Magic

So bland. One chord, even through the chorus.

Worst Song: Chasing Cars

Another overtly bland group.

Worst Song: Fix You

Some people say that they are just a simple boyband in rock star clothes. I agree. Rooftops? What the fuck? Anthem for the Emo craze? Yes..it is so bloody obvious just from the exaggerated video with a load of punchable teenagers.

Note: I may get a lot of shit for calling this band Emo but I'm not. You just have to face it that Rooftops certainly is an emo song.

Worst Song: Rooftops

Two singers. One good, one bad. 2.5 for when one sings, minus 2.5 for the other and that is how I reached the average rating of 2.5. Tom Delonge has one of the most irritating voices of all time. Mark Hoppus has a good voice and his songs always belittle those sung by Delonge. McCartney and Lennon they ain't.

Worst Song: All the Small Things

Poppy tracks that sound just like any other Indie band. We have too many of them about now. Again, they started off with decent tracks but even they get on my nerves now because of how often they are overplayed by adoring fans.

Worst Song: Human

Voice is too ugly and their overall image, whilst iconic (Schoolboy Costume) is ridiculously stupid and gimmicky. Not a bad band but not as good as people make out.

I have never been a big fan of heavy metal and everyone rants and raves about these guys and whilst their musici isn't band, I personally cannot stand their sound.

Not a bad band but I hate their commercialism. For starters, they charge shit loads for concerts. Thank God I'm not a loyal fan there to be screwed over by their huge egos. Older songs were great but much more recent songs are shit. Only one good things remains and that is the bassline, which has always been fantastic, thanks to Flea.

Worst Song: Hump De Bump

Not actually a bad band at all, it is just the fact so many people listen to them when there are far better bands out there, past and modern. I mean come on people, get a since of individualism. Break free from listeing to what other people are listeing to.

Worst Song: None
