I couldn't agree more. Wow, they were so bad, I tried to forget them.

Similar era, I detest:

Simply Red.

Possibly an interesting thread hijacked by those taking the piss (no problem with normal NSC behaviour) and the OP didn't specify exactly what criteria he was measuring success by?

Nickleback are a great shout. Hugely successful in the states.

I'll add:
ELO
Genesis - post Gabriel.

Totally agree. I just don't get the fuss.

Them and Muse, who I swear just make a load of noise.

Muse have done a fair amount of good stuff imho, not all of it admittedly, but enough to justify their success, Arctic Monkeys on the other hand, I just can't understand the fawning over them by the music press et al. Insipid.

They both must have done good stuff. Just that none of it is good stuff to my ears. I guess that's the pleasure of music - it's so subjective and there's something for everyone.
