12. The Twang - The Brummie Baggie revivalists infected the music scene towards the latter end of the decade with a tedious mix of beery lad anthems and gushing sentiment. Sitting somewhere between The Streets and Ocean Colour Scene, The Twang were hailed as the next big thing by the NME upon their emergence and topped numerous critics tips including a #2 spot in the influential BBC Sound of 2007 poll. Despite a short period of success things never really took off for the band and they are now cited as one of the reasons people grew so tired of guitar music. The term landfill-indie was made for a band like The Twang.

Bit unfair on the Darkness IMO. They did exactly what it said on the tin and put some smiles on some otherwise glum emo faces. I kind of miss them...:(
