Right now, the Patti Smith Pretentious Award goes to.... The Decembrists.
-
Do the Blood Brothers count?
-
All of the two instrument duos that have been popping up lately.
-
Deerhoof.
why!?
-
I think Wolfmother is an atrocity.
-
Bright Eyes will top my list for a long, long time.
-
Sufjan "All Hat, No Cattle" Stevens.
The true triumph of ambition over talent. Way to go, music press.
-
i agree with all of these nominations except for deerhoof.
i'll throw in devendra banhart.
-
Yeah Deerhoof is very out of place here. I only agree with a few of them but see how the others could fall into such a category.
-
uh, i cant believe everyone is missing the obvious: joanna newsom.
-
Newsom is a decent pick, which is too bad because I thought "Milk Eyed Mender" was really good. But come on, how many of those critics actually listen to Ys much?

-
Clap your hands is a good one. Pretty terrible.
-
Shout out to Brendan Flowers.
-
I'll admit to taking some pleasure from the anthemic cheeseball "When We Were Young". Better than 90% of the stuff you'll hear on pop/ac/mix stations at least.
-
I don't mind the Killers. I misread the thread - I thought it was just "pretentious" artists. They're also not indie. I'll sit the next few plays out.
-
I gotta nominate Regina Spektor.
Was forced to listen to entire CD in car last week and it was just ... so ... pretentious and painful and ... baaaaaaaad.
Funny thing is I recall hearing a track or two from her previous CD last summer and thinking it was OK so maybe it's just this new one that I HATE?

Sufijan.
Who has a name like that, anyway? That name belongs in the same catagory as Steny.
