Klaxons.

― Scik Mouthy, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 13:33 (eighteen years ago)

Why do you hate The Klaxon's Nick?

Last year I think I would have been happy with pretty much anything on the list apart from what actually won. Please let this year be the year they give it to the "token".

― acrobat, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 13:38 (eighteen years ago)

Their songs are shitty, their artwork is gross, and their production is obscene.

― Scik Mouthy, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 13:39 (eighteen years ago)

i hate the klaxons too.

JAMIE EFFING T!

― DavidM, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 14:33 (eighteen years ago)

There's a few on this list I've never heard, but I find it hard to believe there's anything worse than The View.

new young pony club

― stephen, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 16:12 (eighteen years ago)

― blueski, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 16:17 (eighteen years ago)

nothing is worse than this http://youtube.com/watch?v=hd-rYRYaOhQ&mode=related&search= thou his backing sound better than it did in some shop where it made me grind my teeth.

New Young Pony Club

― Dom Passantino, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 19:11 (eighteen years ago)

I don't get that. NYPC are kinda mediocre. Jamie T is offensive.

― acrobat, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 19:16 (eighteen years ago)

Having played that clip for 40 seconds , I declare Jamie T the runaway winner of this poll.

Hey Dom what odds are you giving on this poll?

― Herman G. Neuname, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 19:50 (eighteen years ago)

Living in America has its perks.

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 20:13 (eighteen years ago)

fucking hell, The View were absolutely gruesome at the start of the show. But Klaxons are still the worst.

― Bill A, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 21:09 (eighteen years ago)

Klaxons win! what a disgrace.

― Bill A, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 21:20 (eighteen years ago)

worst acceptance speech ever.

― stirmonster, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 21:22 (eighteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

― ILX System, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 23:01 (eighteen years ago)

There's no way that Amy Winehouse's album deserves the second most votes for worst album. In this group of forgettable albums? At least it stands out.

― Dan S, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 03:07 (eighteen years ago)

Klaxons on BBC radio this morning: "I like '\er album and she can sing, innit, but she's made a RETRO album and our album is the most FORWARD THINKING album in I DUNNO 'OW LONG so we DESERVE to win like".

― Scik Mouthy, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 07:20 (eighteen years ago)

Shite Perfecto covers = FORWARD THINKING

― Noodle Vague, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 08:25 (eighteen years ago)

jesus wept, 'forward-thinking'?

― Just got offed, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 09:33 (eighteen years ago)

Who the fuck is The View?

ahh my faith in this board is partly restored

― electricsound, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 11:14 (eighteen years ago)

i haven't heard any of these records. i doubt any of them are as bad as you say.

its also noteable that, with the exception of one, they all have positive titles

― Filey Camp, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 11:19 (eighteen years ago)

yeah, i hate those buskers

― blueski, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 11:29 (eighteen years ago)

Jamie T sounds like a five-year old showing off at a wedding.
