A battle of twits

A new Twitter game popped up this afternoon. It's trending at the moment, so you can still join in if you're quick, you lucky things.

It's tagged #verydullbands - but unfortunately a lot of people seem to think it's just an excuse to list the bands they don't like. As if that's not dull! Oh, the ironing.

I first spotted it when Dave Gorman posted these:

Zzzzz Topp
Carter The Upstoppable Fax Machine
Scouting For Gulls

A great trio that, but he's popssibly been topped by the general public on this one:

Accounting Crows
Björed
Stone Dozes / Drone Roses
Trad Manners
Pop Will Seat Itself
Yawnershop
Jamiroquaint
Lily Sullen
Arcade Dire
Dros
Abbacus
Armchair Van Helden
Megadebt
Echo & The Bitumen
Shed Zepplin
Vampire Weekday
Sex Pastels
The Mild Ones

I think my favourites have to be Snooker Pimps and Depeche Modem, though. They're just terrific. I'm afraid I can't claim anything quite as good for my own, but here's what I attempted:

Dull Historical Society
Dave Matthews Bland
Mute
Beige Against The Machine
Facebook Status Quo
Jimmy Horlix

Let me know yours!
