Webmasters Choice Award For Special Achievement In Gratuitous Sex And Violence:

Humm, can't believe you mentioned The Killers as over-rated in what I thought was a solid album, but haven't mentioned Green day. Maybe an oversight?
Well the category is 'overrated', not 'irredeemably crap'. Green Day would clearly be miles ahead of The Killers in the latter category, but The Killers deserve this award for their special achievement in incredibly boring music.
I can't believe I forgot to mention My Chemical Romance and Panic At The Disco though. Consider this a belated 'Worst Bands Ever' award for them.
Oh yeah, and the worst concert was actually Killswitch Engage. Far worse than Satyricon.
