I've gotta go with anything by Devendra Banhart. Strum your guitar somewhere else, androgynous Charles Manson.

To me, Owl City- Fireflies should be on that list.
The tune's alright, but the lyrics are... not good whatsoever.

One of my favourite records of the year is ^ Matthew Good's Vancouver. I saw him here in Saskatchewan two weeks ago. Incredible voice. His voice filled the entire theatre, it was mindblowing. Funny enough you mention seeing him live, he was actually playing here live tonight, but was working and couldn't go.

eh, I don't hate lady gaga because she's good at making catchy pop songs and atleast doing something new and interesting with her image.
unlike her competition, britney "same old ****" spears and miley "hey I'm totally jailbait!" cyrus... if miley cyrus is considered pop :shrugs:
I'm not saying she's a musical genius, and her fans overanalyze the crap out of her songs and videos, but for a pop artist there's much worse.
And as far as bad music goes.... I don't listen to much stuff on the radio anyway so I didn't listen to most of the stuff talked about here. I would bash the current country music for sucking out all originality and creativity out of an entire genre, but I think that horse has been beaten to death.

I'm sensing that you're not that into the things that the kids love, are you? ;D If you look hard enough, there's decent country music out there. It's not on the radio, though, for the most part.

I'm talking about how every single song in country music has to have a metal guitar twine in it. every. single. one. and the sad part is, I don't remember johnny cash or willie nelson, or hell david allen coe ever using one of those things.

You're talking about a steel pedal guitar, right? Because "metal guitar twine" sounds like Brad Paisley has the guys from Whitechapel play for him on tour.

I thought "Coaster" was awesome. Then again, I am a huge NOFX mark.
There's a lot of terrible UK-based groups making it big over here - the worst offender is a 17-year old "rapper" named Chipmunk. He had a song called "Oopsy Daisy", which may have the worst lyrics and annoying chorus of all time, and it got to #1 in the charts.
Ridiculous.

I strongly disagree on "Coaster". This is NOFX we're talking about. I highly doubt they give a crap about winning awards or pleasing people. Therefore, they don't count this year.
