Ew. They're like the most boring parts of every alt. rock band combined. Good riddance.

Nobody mention Metrotone or Avrocar or I'll neg-rep them! I still really like that song by Metrotone called ''Kiss Me Awake'' especially.

Aw man, I love Alice.

Soundgarden is a tough call. Lame for the most part, but a few good songs. I wouldn't mind their extinction, but Black Hole Sun can stay.

Orange fucking Juice

I'd say Whipping Boy if it wasn't for the fact that they were really fucking good. Or at least the 2 singles & b-sides I've got are.

The Olivia Tremor Control and Neutral Milk Hotel. Never liked either and I'd often end up with double copies of Neutral Milk Hotel albums, somehow.

Actually, The Olivia Tremor Control had a half decent song or two. Never been too fond of The Apples in Stereo either. More of a fan of Adventures In Stereo.

Grant Lee fucking Buffalo

The grand total of a good tune and that's about it.

haha no one's forgotten neutral milk or apples in stereo. for some reason.

E-male. Orange Orange. 5ive (arguably). Mark Morrison (except that one song, obviously). Olive.

[radarmaker]

Has the world forgotten Embrace yet? (the shit balladeers, not Ian MacKaye's band). I do hope so.

I was shocked and disturbed to find out that some revere them on this very forum. It's offensive to a person of such good taste like me.

and the exciting bonus track, When Prince was a kid.

The recordings are generally of a better (for which read: less polished) quality than those on the album. I'm pretty sure the Kills did a cover of the search for cherry red in a Peel session sometime in the early 90s. Stuart Lupton went on to form someone else, because I've seen his name since JFE split, I'm sure.

that's the one i had.

On the basis of this thread, I'm not sure if Britain is better at making forgettable bands or if Americans tend not to notice that some bands should be forgotten. Now, Australia, there's a country that's good at making forgettable bands. Gutterville splendour six, anyone?

Monkey Steals the drum. One very amazing song, then fuck all.

[MellySingsDoom]

The Wonder Stuff. Arse-gravy of the lowest order, plus they did that stupid fucking single with Vic Reeves.

Did you use to buy all those shifty disco singles? I had shitloads of them at one point. Some good stuff on there and loads of forgettable bands. Paperlung were a hit, god knows where they are now.

 

Look, like that! ^

America refuses to forget shit bands.

silverchair

that band was fucking huge worldwide, and actually had a decent song or two, but it seemed like everyone in the world quickly realized they were a 19th rate nirvana for anorexic teenagers.
