Most bands are absolutely rubbish. They are serious, pretentious and not at all entertaining. These bands are enjoyed by people who are serious , pretentious and not at all entertaining.
Other bands are bandwagonesque, see almost every band that take influence from the liberstrokesdivisionorder. You are boring, go home, thank you, well not thank you, but good night. Don't get me wrong, I like Joy Division, I even have to admit that I quite like the libertines but as Eddie Argos wisely said, and many people missunderstood, "I can't stand the sound of the velvet underground, the SECOND time around". Now this is the 5th time around.
This is only my opinion, but it is the right one.
There are however , a few bands that aren't like this. At the moment, the best of these are Helmholtz Resonators, Black Daniel and White Witches.

I forgot to add that bands need to have songs, songs that people remember when they are walking down the street. Either that or they should just be noise. There is no where in between this.
