FILL IN: The WORST rock band ever has to be ______________. nt

[smartvoter]

[LiberalVoice]

1. "enter random 2005 comercial rock band here."

[NNadir]

2. Ted Nugent or Grand Funk Railroad.

[Rick Myers]

3. BTO or REO Speedwagon would be right up there!!!

Ack!

[MrScorpio]

30. About BTO:

I actually love LOOKING OUT FOR NUMBER 1


You can have the rest

[LisaM]

4. Foghat? or Journey?

no, no, I have it. TOTO.

[smartvoter]

5. Ah. Journey -- most polarizing band ever. Top or bottom of every list.nt

[LisaM]

6. And where would you put them?

They had a good vocalist and one good song, they were seriously unoriginal, they had nothing to say, and I can't recall that any of them were squat as an instrumental musician.

[smartvoter]

8. I think people who love them tend to overrate them and people

who hate them underrate them. You have songs that really wouldn't have been that big if they didn't have an unbelievable vocalist delivering them. So the question is, how valuable is superb delivery of a not-so-superb song? I don't know -- it's all subjective.

I like them. And I'm a hetero male. But I'm a big fan of vocalists, so there you go...

[JimmyJazz]

10. Ditto for me, too!

:D

But, REO Speedwagon was worser. :silly:

[BootinUp]

13. have to disagree

The early Journey stuff was actually pretty creative. And how can you say that there was no instrumental talent. The guitarist was quite good and played with at least 3 successful bands in his career. (You're entitled to your opinion of course) :)

[battleknight24]

34. Steve Smith is considered one of the best drummers in music...

... but I don't think he was Journey's first drummer...

My opinion: awesome singer and drummer, so-so music...


Peace,

[Zuni]

26. I like Foghat and Journey

I really do. Some of their stuff

[battleknight24]

33. People can say what they want about Toto's MUSIC...

... but drummer Jeff Porcaro was, and still is, the shits!!!



1954-1992


God bless him...

[driver8]

38. You are correct there...Steve Lukather ain't no slouch, either.

Those boys could play!!

[BootinUp]

7. Pick any hair band '87 to '91

[smartvoter]

9. I was thinking of something like that. White Lion, maybe. nt

[Jamastiene]

51. Good one. I second that. n/t

[BigMcLargehuge]

11. Wingerwarrantwhitesnakelion

that should cover the worst of the hair band explosion...

Debbie Boone, for general musical awfulness

[JimmyJazz]

12. Anthrax? Or did you get stuck on "W?"

[underpants]

80. Great WhiteLionSnake

That was our cover all nickname for those type horrid bands.

[Son of California]

14. oh man, how bout a list

Limp Bizket
Korn
and every other lame metal band shamelessly cashing in on our young people's anger and sense of disenfranchisement.

Ted Nugent,
Metallica, (post haircut)

Foreigner,
REO Speedwagon,
Jefferson Starship,
etc etc etc ..........

[Jamastiene]

57. Is it me, or do others really hate the whole

rap and metal mixed style of the "angry white male" bands of the 2000's? I just can't get into it.

[Cush]

15. Limp Bizkit

[pitohui]

16. a flock of seagulls

foghat and journey are contendas tho

[nytemare]

17. Matchbox 20.

Definately. Two songs, Push, and then that other song.

[BootinUp]

20. oh my, I think I might have liked that other one

actually I'm a little hazy on this. Was the video showing the lead singer dressed in tarzan outfit and swinging on a rope?

[nytemare]

21. I am not sure. Push is the only one that sounded decent to me

The rest all sounded like the same song...lol.

[battleknight24]

35. Radio stations play Matchbox 20 to death...

... although you might think I'm weird, I actually liked "Unwell" (<is that the name of the song?) and "Push"... but after my local radio stations played them to death, I felt like ripping out my car stereo and chucking it out the window...


Peace,

[donheld]

69. Radio Stations ALWAYS do that

Matchbox 20, Train, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, BeeGees, Hootie and many more perfectly good musicians/singers became hated because Radio Played them to death.

[Chicago Democrat]

18. Dokken?

ryhmes with rockin!

[AntiCoup2K4]

19. Van Hagar

Yeah, they still had one of the best guitarists on the planet, but he forgot he was, and started playing syntesizers like a wuss.

[Rabrrrrrr]

40. That gets my vote!

[DS1]

22. The B52s. The Violent Femmes. Seven Mary Three. Creed.

Disturbed. Clutch. P.O.D.

[Zuni]

28. definetly all up there

[MrScorpio]

32. You're dissing the B52's?

Dude, you wound me

[Jamastiene]

52. I really like the

B52's. The others maybe, but B52's, no way. They are good.

[battleknight24]

37. Creed... I know someone will flame me...

... but I cannot stand that band...

[name not needed]

43. Nobody's gonna flame you

There's actually a UN resolution declaring that Creed sucks. It was passed unanimously.

[Jamastiene]

54. You see any fire in my direction.

I especially don't like them either.

[smartvoter]

56. Hold me now, I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinkin'...

:evilgrin:

[bicentennial_baby]

73. Violent Femmes?!?

Oh Martin, say it isn't so! :cry:

i still like you, though...i guess. :P

[underpants]

78. The Femmes- a stop in your tracks party band

For those of MY generation the Femmes were/are a stop the party and RAVE UP band. Everyone knows the songs. Everyone loves them.

They are AWESOME in concert-the acoustic bass is what does it.

[elperromagico]

82. The Violent Femmes... they bring all their equipment on the bus.

And you can't fuck with the Violent Femmes!!!

You cannot fuck with this band!!!

:rofl:

[solinvictus]

23. Foreigner, Loverboy, Genesis..

boy, I could keep going on and on and on....

[swag]

31. yeah, Chicago, Journey, Yes, REO Speedwagon

[General Zod]

24. Poison

They were the epitome of sucky hair bands. Bret Michaels can't sing, no one in the band could play, their songs were unoriginal even for a hair band.

The bottom line is: They Suck.

[Trajan]

25. Another 'Art Hatred' thread ...

Ya gotta love'm ....

I fuckin adore Limp Bizkit .. Fred Durst is one of the most creative artists of the alternative genre ....

He is a fucking genius ...

Genesis: They introduced me to classically infused progressive rock, AND to Peter Gabriel ...

Where would I be without Peter Gabriel ?

How bout Yes ? ..... chuckles: Now THERE is a band that SO many loved, and SO many despised ...

Me ? ... loved'm ...

Devo .. B 52's ... Violent Femmes ... Gentle Giant ... Van Der Graaf Generator ... ELP ... HATED by many, and adored by me .... I simply didnt listen to what I didnt prefer ... Do You ?

There are many bands I didnt care for, but I frankly never think about them: Life is WAYYYYY too short to worry about things you dont like ...

The world is SO much richer when we seek what we like ... and enjoy ....

I havent enough time on this earth to waste it hating stuff ....

[Elidor]

27. Dr. Hook n/t

[youthere]

74. LOL..You make my pants want to get up and dance..

you make my face want to grin
you make my knees want to kneel down and say please
Honey won't you kiss me again....

[Initech]

29. Creed, Nickelback, Staind, Hoobastank, Theory Of A Deadman...

I swear that they're all the same fucking band! You could play one song from Creed and then the next song from Staind and I couldnt tell the difference. Talentless hacks.

[Richard Steele]

36. I can't believe no one has nominated "Twisted Sister" yet!

Worst fake phoney formulaic crap-rock EVER!

[sleipnir]

39. The Beatles

:evilgrin:

[smartvoter]

41. Led Zeppelin

:evilgrin:

[smartvoter]

48. Queen.

:evilgrin:

[ghostsofgiants]

42. Good Charlotte

:grr:

[Nailzberg]

44. Winger

"She's only Seventeen" ?!?!?!

[I Know How To Do it]

45. The Shaggs. That's why I love them.

[last_texas_dem]

60. Seconded

Now that's a truly bad band! Still fun to listen to once every five years or so. haha

People who are ragging on half-decent bands like Grand Funk and Journey really ought to give the Shaggs a listen to know what bad really sounds like.

[I Know How To Do it]

61. I love the Shaggs like I love a kitten that keeps crapping on the floor.

Damn it! But it's so cute, sincere, and doesn't know any better.

[Jamastiene]

46. Candlebox

They tried I guess, but they were competing against the likes of Nirvana and Pearl Jam. No dice.

[expatriot]

66. now that is too harsh. they had their own sound.

man, they will always hold a special place in my heart... walking around in between events of my high school track meets with my walk-man. Sing with me dammit!


Now maybe
I didn't mean to treat you bad
But I did anyway
Now maybe
Well some will say your life was sad
But you lived it anyway
And so maybe
Your friends can stand around and watch you crumble
As you fall into the ground
And some day
Your friends can stand beside as you were flying
Oh you were flying oh so high
But then someday people look at you
The world they called their own they watch you suffer
Yeah hear you calling home
And someday we can take our time to brush the leaves aside so you can reach us
And won't you left me far behind
Now maybe
I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
And now I'm sayin
But maybe
Some will say that what you had
But you couldn't tell the pain yeah
No no no
Couldn't share the pain to watch you suffer
Mmm..
Now maybe
Couldn't make my own mistakes
But I live apart alone
And then maybe
We might share and something grey won't you look at where we've grown
Won't you look at where we've grown
And someday comes tomorrow holds
Sense of what I fear for you in my mind
There's a trip of final light
And that cold day when you lost control
Shame you left my life so soon you should have told me
Hey but you left me far behind
Now maybe
I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
Oh but I did it anyway
Now maybe
Some could say that you what you had
But you couldn't share the pain and no no

[BulletproofLandshark]

47. Coldplay

Overrated, boring, bland tripe.

[Robeson]

49. Styx, Foreigner, Foghat, Def Leppard, and so many from the 80's...

...thats its hard to remember them all.

[expatriot]

64. Step the fuck back from the Styx! No one makes shit of the Styx.

I haven't REALLY listened to the Styx since I lost all of my CD's in one of my black out drunk semesters in college, I mean a song now and then on the ol' FM dial and when this happens I have to pull over to the side of the road and weep in euphoric ecstasy.

[Robeson]

67. To each his/her own. But I'll let you keep Sailing Away on that one.

[ProfessorGAC]

72. You Sure You Want To Admit That???

And, if you ever met Dennis DeYoung, you'd never want to hear another Styx song. What a tool!
The Professor

[Liberal Veteran]

79. I heard a Styx commercial on the radio recently...

...where they were singing "I Am The Walrus"....it was very odd.

[CanuckAmok]

50. it took this many replies before someone said "Kiss".

They blew then, they blow now.

[Robeson]

53. That one goes without saying.

[enigmatic]

55. Winger.

Even Beavis And Buttheard knew it.

[I Know How To Do it]

58. Whatever your favorite band is, well it's crap!

[smartvoter]

59. Double Doo-Doo Crap is Yours!!! nt

[I Know How To Do it]

62. You favorite band is Uber crap!

[Crazy Guggenheim]

63. The Archies. I've got a funny story about them.

When I was thirteen or so and I would hear them on the radio, I would say "I don't like their music, but they're really good musicians." lol. Same thing with the Partridge Family before I knew they were going to be a TV Show.

[Kire]

65. The Rolling Stones, The Who and the Beatles.

Made Ya Look!

:+

[khashka]

68. Loverboy, Journey, Motley Crue, The Monkees

Khash.

[Raiden]

70. Metallica - post Napster

IMO anyway

[Burma Jones]

71. KISS

well, the worst famous rock band ever.......

[Glorfindel]

75. The Average White Band

x(

[MrScorpio]

76. I'm going to look you up and kick your ass

Dem's fighting words

[Doctor_J]

77. 3 Dog Night

yeech.

[hyphenate]

81. I'm not a big music person

so I might be a little presumptive with my choices, but I would say that The Village People and The Knack are pretty rotten. The VP had a few hits, but the music wasn't really as good as people like to think (or remember) it is, and as for the Knack, they contributed my absolutely LEAST favorite song to musicdom, so they're crap IMO.

[elperromagico]

83. Err... what band is LoZoccolo pretending to like these days?

:silly:

[mvd]

84. Well..

I've always picked Static-X. Not really sure I can pinpoint what puts them above Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, and the rest.

[H5N1]

85. Tom Petty, Eagles, Steve Miller, ELO

[RandomKoolzip]

86. Franz Ferdinand or Radiohead.

If I offended any fans of those bands, tough shit.

[RummyTheDummy]

87. Creed

Positively horrific.

[dajoki]

88. KC and the sunshine band

:puke:
