1) Pete Doherty 2005 (pretty awful)

2) Radiohead 1997 (dull & depressing)

White Stripes ('04 i think)

Biggest pile of shite I have ever seen.

These weren't the last 3, but King & Marillion in the '80's were rubbish.

Shakespeare's Sister.

The last Oasis. I did a 3 song walkpast up around the track to get to Peel, & even in that short time couldn't work out why they'd bothered to turn up.

Jay Z. Why does he have to shout so much?

Arctic Monkeys. They just looked like lost little boys.

[pinback]

Oasis 2004, were very, very poor & lackluster.

[Kyelo]

I reckon Biffy Clyro. Now before I get a wave of abuse I do like them, they're pretty damn good but I really don't get the almost cult status they have. I know dozens of people who have seen them 20+ times, granted I stay in Glasgow but they are not as people have said to me 'the best band in years', 'the most experimental british band since Pink Floyd'. I kid you not! They are good, not that good. They are just like any other decent band about.

[redmosquito]

Am I the only person that thinks Radiohead?

[cran]

It's very nice to defend bands whose performance was shite, saying that they normally put on a good show, but isn't that largely irrelevant?

I think it's easy to be disappointed with acts on the main stages, all that anticipation ( and cider and other substances) can hype stuff up to beyond reasonable levels. That's why I try and see random stuff, less chance of it being underwhelming.

Having said that, the Kooks were a pile of bollox weren't they?

[redmosquito]

Sugababes & Macy Gray in 2003 were utter toss

Killers ---- Someone kill me if i ever have the unfortunate event of stumbling apon them for the 4th time!

Fratelli's---- Utter shite

[danbailey80]

Every year there's always a few bands that the NME have got excited about, and then 6 months later everyone's barely remembers them...The Gossip last year were very high up the order....oh dear..

[howard the oryx]

I'm the same there, hopefully with em reforming for a tour this year i'll finally get to!

Everyone i know who saw em back in the day said they were absolutely awesome live...

[DiscoDolly]

Fratellis..overated and undertalented

The White Stripes...god knows i really really wanted to enjoy them but they bored me into the ground, pretentious twats!

[tevaburger]

having Skunk Anansie headline the pyramid in '99...in fact, being the last band to play the pyramid that century...was surely the closest thing to a "war crime" that ME has ever committed.

[Conrax]

You are very wrong my friend!!! MUSE were f**king awesome!!! As were KoL! And asis were shite!!!!!!!!! Utter garbage!!!!!!!!!

[Sam.]

What's the point of this thread.

Essentially it's asking you to slag off bands that are clearly popular.

[ralph250]

Skunk Anansie were a band I always wanted to see but never did. Thought they'd be amazing live. Am I wrong?

[BobbyG]

If the Arctic Monkeys or the Kings Of Leon split, who are two of my favorite bands, I would vow never to see them if they reformed, unless they made a really f**king good album in support.
