The 20 Worst Bands of the 2000s

Featuring The Jonas Brothers, The Script and Tokio Hotel...

 

  • 20. The Darkness - No, it wasn't a bad nightmare. Justin Hawkins, he of tight catsuits and rebellious teeth fame, really did headline the Reading and Leeds festivals with The Darkness. Essentially joke mock-rockers who benefited by a temporary loss of irony awareness, this band from Lowestoft pillaged the deepest atrocities of 80's hair metal and regurgitated them over a series of tongue in cheek songs like 'I Believe In A Thing Called Love' and 'Growing On Me'. Luckily the band have split now with Justin Hawkins going on to try various ventures such as entering Eurovision (Beaten by the car crash that was Scooch).
