What was the worst band of all time?

[rhino47]

I say nelson .They annoyed the shit out of me.

[liberalpragmatist]

1. Nickleback

Of course, I don't far back enough.

But Nickleback for me

Awful. Absolutely awful. For me, they even outdo Creed.

[AlFrankenFan]

2. Creed or Backstreet Boys or N'SYNC

n/t

[donheld]

5. Backstreet Boys or N'SYNC are NOT bands

bands IMO play instruments of some sort. These boys couldn't play a Kazoo

[RevolutionaryActs]

11. Very much agreed! nt

[AlFrankenFan]

13. lmfao good point!

n/t

[underpants]

26. Nice Kazoo

See post #25 I hadn't seen that you had brought this up.

[UdoKier]

95. They are a product, but contrary to popular opinion...

I don't think they deserve to be reviled.

First, they make no pretense at being musicians, or even great singers. They even make an effort not to lip-synch, the new trend being that each member has an earphone playing his part of the harmony to help him stay on key. Real pros wouldn't need that, but it's still more authentic than lip-synching. Add that to the fact that they actually do sing while doing difficult choreographed dance routines, and I can't help but give them some credit for their diligence and skill of a sort. Not everybody can be Eric Clapton or Barry White. If I were a kid working ad Disney World and somebody offered my the BSB, I'f jump at it in a heartbeat, and not feel the least ashamed. Teen idol is a job, nothing wrong with it.

Think the Monkees got this kind of derision? And they were MORE phony than the BSB.

[HEyHEY]

3. Lenningrad cowboys

[DBoon]

4. The Shaggs

http://home.flash.net/~tomj/shaggs/

delightfully bad!

[bif]

6. Hanson. (I used to call them the Handsome Brothers to bug my daughter)

[Anakin Skywalker]

30. I Thought They Were Girls...

when I first saw them on TV. Seriously.

[Pacifist Patriot]

121. Thank you. I've been wracking my brain to recall the "H" band

that annoyed the daylights out of me awhile back. I had some cousins who were nuts over them.

[flygal]

130. I saw them on Conan once and at least they all played their own

instruments. They were actually pretty good when not doing that doo wop song.

[Wat_Tyler]

7. Grateful Dead, Phish, U2, The Beatles, A Perfect Circle, RATM....

Have I offended everyone yet? :o

[Beware the Beast Man]

32. You forgot Joy Division and My Bloody Valentine

And about 600 other useless bands to come out of Britain in the last 25 years. :mad:

[bloodyjack]

46. wha-a-a-at?

come on. take that back.

[Wat_Tyler]

49. All rubbish. Every single one. Particularly that one I like.

[Beware the Beast Man]

64. Everything you like is not cool anymore.

Because you like it, see?

[xpunkisneatx]

37. *offended*

Ha, not really...but A Perfect Circle? RATM? Only 2 of my absolute faves...

[Wat_Tyler]

50. Just pissing around, really.

[Carla in Ca]

63. Yeah, me!! C'mon, The Beatles?

Really? Can you at least admit they had a profound impact on the entire planet? Please?
OR- change the choice to Divo, and I'll forgive you:hi:

[catbert836]

138. All of the above except for The Beatles and the Dead

great bands... don't know HOW people don't like them... morons.

[no name no slogan]

145. No thanks on the Dead

If I want to see a bunch of stoned folkies, I just walk down to my neighborhood coffee shop. Most overrated band of all time, IMHO.

[SteppingRazor]

8. Milli Vanilli

Nuff said

[rhino47]

12. Girl you know its true ohhhh ohhhh ohhhhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhh

argggghhh !! yeah you nailed it lmao.

[rbnyc]

134. Hey, nice star you have there.

:hi:

[rooboy]

9. Big Fun. n/t

[LibDemAlways]

10. I'm dating myself here

but some of the worst bands cropped up back in the 60's when Beatle wanna-be's were everywhere. Kids from show biz families had an in, thus we were subjected to "bands" like Gary Lewis (Jerry's son) and the Playboys and Dino (Dean Martin's offspring), Desi (you guessed it) and Billy (not sure who he was). Also the era of the Cowsills - an entire family that warbled together - think the Partridge Family tv show was based on them. All had big hits back then.

[DrZeeLit]

Okay... I'm with you on the Cowsills. (dontcha love datin' yourself?)

It's a no-frills date, but I love it.

[Kire]

83. I've been dating myself for eight years.

I think I've got a shot with this girl I met on the campaign, but I haven't had a girlfriend since 1996.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

14. You guys ever hear...

The New York Dolls live?

Oh man...they could stink up a room.

[tigereye]

15. no, but they sounded great on vinyl

I wore the grooves out replaying Personality Crisis

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

19. So did The Pistols.

But live, they sucked. Why?

Chris Spedding played guitar on "Never Mind". Steve Jones? They sent him 'round the pub.

[tigereye]

27. never got to see them live either, unfortunately

best live act ever IMO - Queen Ida.

[johnnie]

41. The Pistols rocked in 92 live.

Steve played on the album, Spedding just mixed some stuff.

[patcox2]

111. One of the best, tightest bands I ever saw last year.

Rotten, Jones, Cook, Matlock. Wonderful. I was amazed, expecting anarchic slop. Rotten kept taunting the crowd, asking why we weren't in Iraq, called Bush an idiot several times. And this in a Donald Trump-owned casino, walked out into a slot floor filled with blue-haired old ladies.

[johnnie]

116. I still have my unused tickets for the Cleveland show

The were canceled here and it pissed me off. When I saw them in the early 90's they played pretty close to the Rock Hall and Johnny kept ragging on it. They also made sure that anyone who was wearing a Sid tee-shirt were pointed out and ridiculed.
I have heard that when asked for something for the Hall of fame, Johnny just sat down and rewrote out the lyrics to "God save the Queen" or whatever and presented them as the "original lyric sheet". He cracks me up.

[warrens]

44. I saw them a ton of times

Most of the time, they were great. Johnny Thunders was the weak point. Well, Killer Kane too. When they were sober, the band was fine.

[ProfessorGAC]

112. Utterly Dreadful Live

But, not the worst signed act i've heard. The title goes to Billy Squier's Band. Worst live band EVER!
The Professor

[Squeech]

16. I always hated

Black Oak Arkansas.

They became known by touring *relentlessly* so they'd open shows for just about anybody, and got worse every time I heard them.

Somebody described them as six guys, each of whom knows one guitar chord, and they try to coordinate a whole song.

[KurtNYC]

17. Four Non-Blonds

"I said heyeyeyeyeyeyeyeyey I said hey. What's goin' on? (repeat 200 times)

[ceile]

33. Every time that song comes on I run SCREAMING!!!!!

[XNASA]

18. Kajagoogoo?

:shrug:

[FreedomFry]

20. Sky Saxon and the Seeds

Their big hit back in the '60s was "Pushin' Too Hard." If you want to hear really bad guitar riffs, out-of-rhythm drumming, ear-bleeding non-harmonies, and a lead vocal that sounds like someone stepped on a dingo, this is your band.

[Baja Margie]

100. Yes, the Seeds

You're pushin to hard, you're pushin on me, you're pushin to hard, all I wanna to do, is to be set free......stop pushin so hard, stop pushin so hard...on me



LOL, I still remember.

[IrishBloodEngHeart]

146. WHAT? THE SEEDS ARE UNBELIEVABLE

THEY ARE RIGHT UP THERE WITH LOVE

[underpants]

21. Mmmm I'm going to go with Spandau Ballet

Geesh go ahead and kill yourself and spare us okay?

[obreaslan]

22. New Kids on the Block!

Hated them soooooooooo much.

[ceile]

34. That's who I was gonna say!

[Not_Giving_Up]

78. Ditto!

I was in high school when they were big, and a friend of mine's brother looked like a NKOTB...Every time we saw him coming we'd start waving our hands in the air going Whoa-oh-oh-oh! Hangin tough!

[donheld]

101. Not a band

:spank: :spank: :spank: :spank:

[obreaslan]

23. Oh yeah, Color Me Bad too!

x(

[underpants]

25. Those aren't really "bands" are they?

No offense I just don't consider them to be a "band" just performers.

:shrug:

Oh and yes they all were horrible.

[Kire]

84. two D's in Color Me Badd

[UdoKier]

98. They did a good four part harmony.

But damn wewre they hideous.


Unfortunately, their target audience was teenage inner-city latinas, judging by the cheesy lyrics.

[donheld]

102. Not a band

:spank: :spank: :spank: :spank:

[underpants]

24. Oooh a really obscure one-bad hair metal-AUTOGRAPH

I think believe that was their name. The only single that ever got on Head Bangers Ball was called.....I want your Autograph and their album was called............Autograph.

They were apparently a bunch of producers who decided to cut a record together.

The video was so stupid (it concerned a pen) that we all thought it was the dumbest longest commercial ever and then their name/songname/album appeared in the bottom corner and we all busted out laughing. We were very "happy" that night.

[UdoKier]

97. I remember. "Tuuuurn up - The raaadio!

I need to feel it got to give me some more!

[FeelinGarfunkelly]

28. The one w/ Michael Bolton

y'know, before when I was about 5 and that no-talent ass clown became famous and started winning grammy's.

"For my money, it doesn't get any better than when he sings 'When a Man Loves a Woman.'"

[underpants]

31. Yeah Bob Michael Bolotin sang for "BlackJack"

http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/bolton_michael/bio.jhtml

[Anakin Skywalker]

29. Any Boy Band.

Take your pick. New Kids on the Block. N'Stink, etc.

[SmileyBoy]

35. Simple Plan, Yellowcard or Good Charlotte.

One of those pseudo-rebellious, corporate pop-punk bands with a whiney-voiced lead singer.

[xpunkisneatx]

38. agreed

I in fact used to be friends with GC before they were famous. They used to be cool guys. They have officially entered asshole celebrity waters. And their new music sucks.

[smbolisnch]

48. Oh my god....

I could not agree more with that. I was driving home tonight and one of those songs came on the classic rock station! WTF? Granted we only have 4 stations here, so I suppose they have to fit it in somewhere. That's why I like my cds! :)

[St. Jarvitude]

90. don't forget hoobastank

:puke:

The only good punk and the only good pop to come out of the music scene is all indie. Or from medium-sized labels like SubPop.

[skygazer]

36. Pink Lady

Three oriental gals (forget what nationality) who sang like Yoko Ono on helium. Anyone remember them?

[xpunkisneatx]

39. Limp Bizkit, Korn, Staind...

basically any of the Nu-Metal shit.

[slestak]

40. Insane Clown Posse

truly talentless

[GingerSnaps]

73. Definitely

:scared:

[Ann Arbor Dem]

85. And they are nasty, horrible people too. n/t

[Zuni]

125. Have you ever seen them on Howard Stern?

For some reason people always call up to fight them. Then they have have their porno video--'Backstage Sluts'

[Phillycat]

128. Total agreement here.

[CO Liberal]

42. The Starland Vocal Band

Afternoon Delight
Starland Vocal Band

Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight
My motto's always been; when it's right, it's right
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day
And we know the night is always gonna be there any way

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
and the thought of rubbin' you is getting so exciting

Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always thought a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think
I might like having a little afternoon delight

Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

Please' be waiting for me baby when I come around
We could make a lot of lovin' 'for the sun goes down

Thinkin' of you's workin' up an appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of rubbin' you is getting so exciting

Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

[rhino47]

110. Argggh that was so totally uncalled for Co Liberal

someone feed me a xanax ! That song is enough to make me :puke:

[WoodrowFan]

115. damn you

that song makes me, uh, frisky. Where's my wife's phone number....

[gollygee]

43. Menudo

and as I recall, they were supposed to be bigger than the Beatles. Or so the media said.

[SmileyBoy]

59. Menudo doesn't count.

[gollygee]

62. Why not??

[tjwash]

45. Any boy band nt

[warrens]

47. The Eagles. The fucking EAGLES

God, I hate em. I hate U2 and crap like Nugent and ELP and so on too, but the Eagles REALLY DRIVE ME UP A WALL. LA lizards trying to be cowboys. Grrrrrrrr.

[mr blur]

53. Took the words right out of my mouth

The Eagles are probably THE worst band ever. Closely followed by U2.

[TrogL]

51. Hanson

Oh god the whining

[420inTN]

52. Europe. n/t

[Mojambo]

54. Rush

Had Creed stuck togther for another 10 years it would be a no brainer

[Malebolgia]

55. Any boy band. Take your pick.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

58. Fine Young Cannibals sucked ass!

[shawmut]

56. LFO n/t

[RetroLounge]

57. Radiohead.

Flame-on

RL

[JohnnyCougar]

81. Die, bastard!

[Guaranteed]

87. Seriously. That's fucking blasphemy. nt

[NoSheep]

122. That's just wrong!

:wow:

[St. Jarvitude]

89. Tell that to my face!

<---------------------

[Phillycat]

129. I don't like them either.

Whiny.

[Nightowl_2004]

60. Any Boy Band....

Ever.

[corporatemedia]

61. Alexander's Ragtime

[Berserker]

68. Slim Whitman

I remember when I seen TV commercials saying he sold more records than Elvis and I said to myself Wow who the fuck is Slim Whitman?

[Flammable Materials]

65. THE WESLEY WILLIS FIASCO

[Zuni]

126. Wesley Willis rocked

you find me a better schizophrenic with a pre-programmed casio keyboard beat

[no name no slogan]

147. Wesley Willis == PUNK FSCING ROCK!!!!

Wesley is the only true punk left on this planet! The man makes those asshats in Green Day look like a bunch of snot-nosed brats clinging to mama's apron strings. Wesley IS punk.

Wesley's got the lyrics, the power, and the Casio, to speak to the plight of the urban survivor class-- the ones who get by on recycling and the occassional SSI check.

[curse10]

66. Pink Floyd

:puke:

[realisticphish]

79. i can understand not liking them

but the worst band of all time?


:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[Guaranteed]

I hear ya except for The Wall, some of Wish you Were Here

and Dark Side. Most of Pink Floyd is bullshit potsmoking music.

[DeaconBlues]

108. Whats wrong with potsmoking music? N/T

[Selwynn]

136. I can understand personal distakes - but worst band of all time?

That's insane. Pink Floyd was obviously talented, though it doesn't have to be everyone's thing. I would think bands without an ouch of musical talent should make the "worst of all time list"

[opiate69]

67. The Strokes, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Hives...

Modest Mouse, Death Cab for Cutie, Jetm The Vines.. well, pretty much any newer "The" band...

[Berserker]

69. Here's another Great memory

Baron Von Tollbooth and the Chrome Nun which is a runner up to the Minnesota Barking Ducks

[St. Jarvitude]

91. Modest Mouse? Surely you jest.

You may be turned off by their "hit" single "Float On" (which I've never liked). Don't let it fool you - not only is Good News for People Who Love Bad News an awesome album, but their earlier albums are just amazing... lifts you up off the floor.

Death Cab For Cutie is vastly inferior to The Postal Service, which has the same vocalist. I don't exactly know why (because they have similar sounds) but it's just like that I guess :shrug:

[Queen Jane]

140. noooo....

Death Cab For Cutie is wonderful...:cry:

[catbert836]

141. Take that back!

The other ones I don't care for either. But insulting the Hives is blasphemy, and I mean FUCKING blasphemy.

[Maddy McCall]

70. Bay City Rollers

[recovering democrat]

71. The Fugs.

unnecessary.

[mark414]

96. out you demons! out!

[GingerSnaps]

72. Back Street Boys, Rush, 999, Marky Mark, MC???

The first white rapper MC??, Debby Gibson, Menudo :puke:

[donheld]

103. Back Street Boys; Marky Mark not bands

:spank: :spank: :spank: :spank:

[NoSheep]

123. Rush! Arggghhhh!

[Dukakis88]

74. Scooter

I wonder if anyone else has heard these guys? Every song sounds almost exactly the same.

[Heyo]

75. Mr. Bungle.

Punk polka? Nah.

I can't go for that, no, no. ...
No can do.
I, I cant go for that no, nooo....

Heyo

[GRLMGC]

76. Creed

sigh

[St. Jarvitude]

77. Pearl Jam - the band that launched a thousand monsters

Besides the fact that whats-his-face only knows how to sing in one, really stupid-sounding style, and that there are exactly 3 riffs in their music, Pearl Jam launched the three bands that would be the three worst if it were not for Pearl Jam's puny, pitiful, disgusting existence:

CREED
NICKELBACK
STONE TEMPLE PILOTS

I would say that the combination of those four bands is worse than the homogenous "emo" craze, because I cannot genuinely tell the difference between any of those bands' songs when they're played on the radio.

[GingerSnaps]

80. Scandal

:puke:

[UdoKier]

82. Hootie and the Blowfish

The fact that nobody's name is "Hootie" is bad enough, but their lame, watered-down, beloved by middle-management-white-guys music BITES.

[St. Jarvitude]

92. They toured with Al Gore!

Come on! The 2000 Gore Chicago rally at Daley Plaza (which I attended) opened up with Stevie Wonder and Hootie and the Blowfish.

Mind you, I really dislike Hootie and the BLowfish... but Stevie Wonder performed that infectious "The only way America can win is with Al Gore and Joe-seph Lieberman".

[UdoKier]

93. Stevie's all right. I hate Creed, too, if that helps.

They're probably repukes, right?

[St. Jarvitude]

94. The lead singer thinks he's Jesus

And they walked onto stage completely drunk.

Let's see... phony, blaspehemous Christians. I'd say with 99.99987254% confidence that they are Pukes.

[TexasBushwhacker]

133. Yeah, I was just going to say

Scott Stapp may have a Jesus complex, but he must think Jesus was a drunk. His name probably needs to be entered in the "Dead Pool". I don't see him, his drinking problem, and his ego living to a ripe old age.

[ProfessorGAC]

113. Don't Forget That The Frat Boys Love Hootie Too

That's reason enough for me to hate them. I didn't like frat boys when i was in college, i didn't like them when i was teaching college, and i don't like the people in industry that i know were in a frat.

If folks like that love Hootie, i just Can't.
The Professor

[NoSheep]

124. Somebody finally agrees with me!!!!!

88. THE MENTORS

WITH EL DUCHE THE WERE TH E TIME VEST POCKET PISTOLS WERE IN VOGUE.

[The Minus World]

99. G.G. Allin

Offensive and poorly-played gutter-punk. Hilarious if you have the stomach for it.

[Zuni]

127. I saw the Murder Junkies in Baltimore

but they didn't eat feces or mutilate themselves, since GG is long dead.

[The Minus World]

139. Geez.

I don't think I'd have ever gone to see them while GG was fronting for them. It's something that's only amusing from a distance; something you can laugh at while you're watching the video, sitting safely at home.

Having a 75-80% chance of being smeared with excrement or fondled by an STD-ridden junkie is not my idea of a night on the town!

[GingerSnaps]

104. The Go Go's

:puke:

[Abelman]

105. Anal Cunt

Seriously, that's their name.

It's kind of like Aural murder. Worst. Band. Ever.

[The Minus World]

137. But then you'd have to

include the rest of the Grindcore genre. There are about a thousand bands that sound like Anal Cunt.

Meat Shits
Assuck
Early Napalm Death
Discordance Axis
Melt Banana

I tend to enjoy a little dissonance every once in a while; I grew up listening to bands like that. It's an acquired taste, though.

[baba]

106. Ace of Bass (Base?)

God, they suck. Also: Color Me Badd, New Kids on the Block, most of the "boy bands."

[The Great Escape]

107. Berlin...

Take This Band Away

[Kellanved]

109. Modern Talking

[WoodrowFan]

114. KISS!

Worse than Pink Lady. and Jeff.

[motely36]

117. Katrina and the Waves

What an annoying song that was!

[Amaya]

118. New Kids On The Block

:puke: or how about Menudo? double :puke:

[rbnyc]

119. Either Journey or Foreigner! (nt)

120. Hootie and the Blowfish were the most overated....

:thumbsdown:

[Orsino]

131. Duh! Air Supply

I win.

[mvd]

132. Static-X

They don't really sing to begin with, but I bet they sing worse than me.

Certainly NOT Pearl Jam, Hanson, Eagles, or Go Gos IMO..

[Selwynn]

135. The Nelson Twins band...was that their name?

Do you know what I'm talking about?

VH1 Described them as "winning the un-metal lifetime achievement award" hehe!

[tuvor]

142. bush.

Guilt by association.

[catbert836]

143. Bowling for Soup, Simple Plan, Avril Lavigne, N'SYNC, Backstreet Boys,

Britney Spears, Usher, Alicia Keys, Ja Rule, Jimmy Eat World, Good Charlotte, Christine Aguilera, Eminem, Nelly, Snoop Dogg, Destiny's Child, Chingy, Jay-Z, Linkin Park, Black Eyed Peas, Maroon 5, JoJo, Hoobastank, John Mayer, Vanessa Carlton and Trick Daddy.

[Telly Savalas]

144. April Wine

Back in the '80s in my junior high school lunch cafeteria there was a jukebox. It had this mindblowingly vile song called "Just Between You and Me" by April Wine. There were a number of kids who got carried away by early adolescent sadistic pranksterism, and would feed the thing quarters and play that godawful song again and again and again, just to torture everyone else.

[no name no slogan]

148. Boston or Steely Dan or Toto

What happens when you put a bunch of Berklee School of Music wank-off overpaid sessions musicians together? The most BORING music ever known to mankind!

Hell, I'd rather sit through the collected works of Throbbing Gristle (or Eno's "Music for Airports") than listen to the soulless tripe put out by these hacks.
