Worst

Bonnie Tyler
Kasabian
Oasis (except for 'champagne supernova' and a couple of others)
Sisters of Mercy

i couldn't work up much acrimony - even the above, their existence doesn't bother me really - like I almost put Cream but I then thought, 'well a lot of people had the time of their lives there'.

once i would have used a term like 'culture criminal' for a lot of things but with actual evil criminals and aspiring fascists running rampant over everything, it seems a bit daft to get in a righteous lather about people with misguided aesthetics
