    Highly mediocre, but does the hit single suck away that precious mediocrity?

    Haha, excellent question really. We could never cut the pop genre down to leave the one most medeocre band ever. The whole pop genre is pretty mediocre nowadays. I mean, The Cheeky Girls, what the fuck?

    I've had New Kids On The Block and Vanilla Ice spring to mind so far, but they easily fall in with this crowd anyway.

    So trying to think outside of pop, I'm getting the likes of Lost Prophets and Rasmus.

    U2 - Very overrated and mediocre. Can't stand them.


    I agree with Ocean Colour Scene too. They may not be shit but they are mediocre.

    And then, pretty much everything in the top 100 singles chart.

    Yeah, the way understand the question is that it is bands that it is impossible either to hate or to love. Bands which arouse no feelings whatsoever ... pure mediocrity, which is even worse than being unbearably shit because at least that arouses some passion!

    Sting.


    Despite the millions of albums he's sold, countless awards he's won and distinguished years in the music business...I have yet to find a single person who likes him.

    If he's not mediocre, he deserves a word inventing for the above reason.

    Urgh...Status Quo...what an apt name! I can't believe that such a lame band have earnt millions and enjoyed a lavish lifestyle thanks to one riff repeated throughout their back catalogue! The sad thing is they probably still get fan's throwing their undergarments on stage...even if they are starting to knock on a bit...infact i bet most are incontinent so they are probably getting their just deserts! :)

    And Ocean colour scene are trump but at least they mastered at least 3 chords..I think they have to be better than america's premier gravel voiced, thinning haired king of the slushy ballad, Michael Boulton!!! :)

    Yep, you win. Scientists have done tests and it is now a proven fact that Simply Red are the most mind numbingly mediocre band ever.

    They are not mediocre, they have had viable commercial success!

    Level 42 on the other hand...
