The 10 Suckiest Bands of the '00s

Page 2 of 4

7. Sum 41 These guys were not punk, not rock, and not even good. They were just generic and boring at their very, very best, and they were whiny as all hell at their worst. Remember "In Too Deep" or "Fat Lip"? Neither does anyone else, because it was the type of music you desperately tried to rid your eardrums of once it infiltrated them. Their lead singer, Deryk Whibley, now looks like the Mr. Heat Miser, though, so that's awesome.

6. Evanescence Ugh. That's the only word that accurately (and objectively!) summarizes Evanescence. Amy Lee's voice is a nerve-grating, one-dimensional emo train wreck, and who even knows what the rest of the band is, considering the lineup changed almost daily. All you need to remember is that during the '00s, emo suckage and some Limp Bizkit-esque "rap" had a baby, and they named it Evanescence.

5. Buckcherry Two words: "Crazy Bitch." Oh, and maybe three more: Worst. Song. Ever.
