I think the Jonas Brothers are too much of an easy target, so I'll go for Razorlight.

Pretty good list here

Pretty much agree with all of those! Razorshite, Scouting for Girls and Blazin Squad especially. Hadn't heard of a few of them.

The Pigeon Detectives

with a name as downright stupid as that, i suppose it was always hard to expect anything good from them.

Indeed a rather comprehensive and ecclectic collection of shite.

U2, same as the 90's. I reckon they might make a fair stab at making it a hatrick in the 'teens, too.

Out of that list I'd say Scouting for Girls are the worst. Or maybe Pigeon Detectives, because they remind me of that time a couple of years ago when there were dozens of rubbish indie bands around. Bad times.

Scouting for Girls have the dubious honour of being being the only band that have irritated me with every one of their singles.

I can't stand Nickelback either but they're not in the same league as SfG.

All IMO, of course

I'd also add:

Black Eyed Peas,
Paramore,
Pussycat Dolls,
Fall out Boy,
My Chemical Romance,
Kings of Leon,
The Saturdays,
Keane,
Starsailer,
Coldplay,
The Fray

But if we weren't talking about just bands I'd also say:

Mika,
Soulja Boy,
Rihanna,
50 Cent,
Beyonce,
Flo Rida,
Avril Lavigne,
Miley Cyrus,

etc...

No surprise that they're all hardly heard of.

i like razorlight, imho one of the best bands of recent times....

coldplay.... dreary, pretencious, suspicion of plaigarism on several tracks, ...just... awful.

Have to admit I haven't heard of some of the bands on that list. Only thing I really disagree with is where they describe Fightstar as turgid...fantastic band!

N-Dubz - what the hell is that all about??!

They're so bad it's almost funny.

The Saturdays are incredibly amateurish as well.
