The Top Ten
1 My Chemical Romance My Chemical Romance is an American rock band from Jersey City, New Jersey, active from 2001 to 2013, and again from 2019 to present day. For much of their career, the band consisted of lead vocalist Gerard Way, guitarists Ray Toro and Frank Iero, bassist Mikey Way, and drummer Bob Bryar.

I wouldn't call them hard rock. Their early stuff was a bit heavier though. Anyway, My Chemical Romance was an amazing band and deserves to be in the top 5.

Are you serious? LOL This band sucks! Their songs are so mellow, and basic and are all about a cliche subject. Chad Kroger sounds like he's dying when he sings. Not to mention the amount of contempt I feel just listening to this band, enrages me with such bitter hatred. If anything this band is most worth of "Top 10 Worst Rock Bands of the 2000's". If I would describe them with one word it would be, atrocity!
