Coldplay: It used to be cool to dislike them but now it has become the norm. And rightly so.

U2: The general smugness of U2 that really grates. Plus if you're calling yourself The Edge and still appear boring, it's time to give up.

Kings of Leon: After the amount of times Sex on Fire was played everywhere they went, many turned to lighting their sexual organs on fire.

Maroon 5: High-pitched, pretty-boy nonsense which was made worse with that terrible 'Moves Like Jagger' song with Christina Aguilera.

Athlete: Responsible for many an indie-induced coma

R.E.M.: Early 1990s band who had some pretty good tunes but decided to hang around way too long. They broke up (finally) in 2011 but by that point, many had gone beyond caring.

Snow Patrol: If they took their own advice and started 'Chasing Cars' instead of singing about them, we'd all be happier.

Feeder: Once being Welsh wore off for them they had nothing except memories.

Angels and Airwaves: When Tom DeLonge ditched Blink 182 after a boring self-titled release, he went on to make even more boring music with A&A.

Scouting For Girls: Ooo look, I can play a bloody keyboard. Softcore music for people who don't own ambition. Even typing that was boring.

Glasvegas: Rode the Radio 1 bandwagon for a while before slowly falling into a pit of nothingness.

Travis: Their videos included food fights but their music had fans comfort eating. A poor man's Coldplay which is really saying something.

Nickelback: So boring they even get bottled at their own shows. Even spoiled a perfectly good Superman film, the boring gits.

James Blunt: Posh soldier bloke with a voice ready to send insomniacs across the globe to sleep. Your nan probably likes him.

Ed Sheeran: Ed Sheeran is bloody everywhere. He's even here.

Moby: Preaches so much that it all just melts into one long pile of steaming self-satisfying rubbish. Shut up, Moby!

Newton Faulkner: There's a point in life where dreadlocks really start to annoy you. This was when Newton started to grow them.

Katie Melua: It's surprising how someone so boring can earn so much money. But Katie surprised us all.

Michael Kiwanuka: Sometimes people are talented but seriously boring. Poor old Michael is this person.

Rebecca Ferguson: Rebecca is so boring she even came second to Matt Cardle in the X-Factor. Yep, Matt Cardle. With that hat and stuff.

Michael Buble: This has nothing to do with him making every girl in the country wish he was their boyfriend. Nothing at all.

Leona Lewis: Statistics prove that listening to 'Bleeding Love' more than twice turns you into a vegetable.

The Stereophonics: Frontman Kelly tries to move away from the standard boring rock and roll band by wearing sunglasses everywhere he goes. Sadly, it doesn't really work.

Jack Johnson: Fell victim to the nice guy syndrome which made him as exciting as a half-peeled carrot.

Razorlight: It shocks everyone that these guys actually headlined Reading & Leeds festival once. Shocking.

Keane: They're back! Colour us unimpressed - and more than a little bored.
