I would have to say:

Worst Singer: Ashlee Simpson, Britney Spears, or Hilary Duff
Worst Rapper: All of them
Worst Band: D12 or Coldplay

Worst Singer: William Hung
Worst Rapper: Nelly
Worst Band: Dixie Chicks

Worst Singer: William Hung
Worst Rapper: Nelly
Worst Band: Dixie Chicks

I forgot about William Hung. Could he even be classified as a singer?

Worst Singer: Yoko the foul, Yoko the hated, Yoko the Destroyer of the Beatles
Worst Rapper: Tough choice, all of them
Worst Band: Another Tough Choice, hmmmmmm. Ack, I can't answer

William Hung is why the World Trade Center fell down.

I forgot about William Hung. Could he even be classified as a singer?

Absolutely. Anyone whose album gets as much publicity as his did is clearly a singer, no matter how awful his voice, or how little professional training of singing he's had.

Worst Singer: Yoko the foul, Yoko the hated, Yoko the Destroyer of the Beatles

William Hung became popular just this last year, how did he cause the WTC to fall down?

Worst Band: D12 or Coldplay

I agree with all of those. Congrats. :D

I agree with all of those. Congrats. :D

Really? I expected someone to bite my head off about putting "All of them" for worst rapper, or for putting "Coldplay" under worst band.

I was a bit surprised by the Coldplay thing. They're not my favorite band, but pretty much everyone I've ever met likes them.

I hate rap and I don't particularly like coldplay. (I'm a ska guy)
Plus we all know what ever male thinks about Spears, Duff, and Simpson.

Nice point.

I was a bit surprised by the Coldplay thing. They're not my favorite band, but pretty much everyone I've ever met likes them.

Coldplay's music is too depressing. For depressed suicidal kids. Not happy enough.

Under "worst band" I forgot to put Evanesance. If there is any band that makes you want to commit suicide (because they suck so bad) it is Evanesance. Amy Lee's voice is all horrible and nasally.

Oh yeah. I hate evanescance. But maybe that's cause I hate any band with a girl as a lead singer. Not to be sexist or anything, I just think rock groups shouldn't have girls as lead singers.

I also hate emo. Like yellow card. I hate yellow card. And good charlotte makes me want to barf.

Worst Rapper: don't make me pick! They're all bad!
Worst Singer: the losers on American and Canadian Idol
Worst Band: it's a tie between Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys, New Kids on the Block, N' Sync etc... you know, all those pret-teen bands....

Errm for worst Rapper I'd like to nominate these new up and coming 'artists' I have two and 6/7 of a word for you: Goldie Lookin' Chain, they're a Welsh group, and can you believe they come from the same country as the MSP.
Here's a taster of one of their most straight to the point songs (you'll see why thats a joke in a minute):

There is nothing worse than a rapper with a British-sounding accent.

Rapper: Nelly
singer: Will Young/ Gareth Gates etc... reality TV "stars"
band: Spice Girls, boy bands.

There is nothing worse than a rapper with a British-sounding accent.
Yes there is, when theres seven of them

could William hung even be classified as human?

i'm sorry for bad posting. I have no professional training.

There is nothing worse than a rapper with a British-sounding accent.
yeah there is... a band of rappers with british accents.

Worst Singer: Hillary Duff or Ciara
Worst Rapper: Eamon
Worst Band: Good Charlotte

Worst Band: Good Charlotte
I was going to say that.

I would have to say:


Worst Band: Coldplay
w00t!

Worst Band: Dixie Chicks w00t w00t

w00t!

w00t w00t

What is w00t supposed to mean?

What is w00t supposed to mean?
Sound an Owl makes :)

Worst Rapper: All of them

(Applause)

Agreed. I'd like to add my two cents.

Worst Singer: Hilary Duff (who lip syncs [sp?]) and Shaggy
Worst Band: A tie between every sissy boy band there ever was (especially N Stync and the Whackstreet Boys)

(Applause)

Agreed. I'd like to add my two cents.

Worst Singer: Hilary Duff (who lip syncs [sp?])
Worst Band: (especially N Stync and the Whackstreet Boys)

Heh, heh. What I heard is that Hilary Duff has a special microphone (one that isn't on).

Worst Singer: Hilary Duff. She doesnt even try to hide the studio magic on her voice

Worst Rapper: Eminem. At least he admits he's full of crap, but like he says, as the white guy he brought gangster rap up and into the spotlight for mainsteram white america. That i can never forgive!

Oh and to all you immature dicks who are labeling all of rap as mainsteam gangster crap: Grow up and get a clue. Listen to Jurassic 5 or The Roots. Two very talented Rap/Hip hop bands. In fact, the Roots are probably the most respected Hip Hoppers in the music world and their drummer is considered one of the genre's greatest. There's a great place to start for you fools who cant look beyond MTV unless its a genre YOU like.

Worst Band: Evanescence, Nickelback, Simple Plan

I would have to say:

Worst Singer: Ashlee Simpson, Britney Spears, or Hilary Duff
Worst Rapper: All of them
Worst Band: D12 or Coldplay

[Nods in complete agreement]

All "junk culture" at its worst!

There is nothing worse than a rapper with a British-sounding accent.

Tell that to the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu AKA The Kopyright Liberation Front AKA The K foudnation.

Stop it all of you!!!
coldplay are good!!!

Fact is, 99% of us have probably never heard of the person or act that could be classified as "worst singer/rapper/band ever", because they wouldn't have made it anywhere close to wide recognition.

This assumes that they initially became famous on the basis of their musical ability, but that is not always the case. I'm sure you're familiar with William Shatner, for example, who would never have had his recordings released if he had just dropped them in to an A&R man without already being a star.

TRANSLATION: Its not only what you know, its who you blow. :D

I think an old music buddy said it best....He said "I can fart, synthesize it, loop it, but a few meaningless words with it, hire about 50 nubile semi-nude dancers, get the right promo, the sales reps and whole shabang. And before you know it, its packaged, and people being the sheep that they are, WILL by it"

Worst Band: Ugh. Good Charlotte. And any preeteen boy "band"
Worst Rapper: "Rap" and "good" should not be used in the same sentence.
Worst Singer: Tie between Fefe Dobson and Hillary Duff

Worst singer: Hillary Duff and some other person who I can't remember the name of.
Worst rapper: Too many to name.
Worst 'band': Hanson :mad: We must all unite so we can BURN THEM!!!

Just curious....for all those who hate Evanescence...Do you sing? Have you had voice training? Can you read notes? Were you ever in a showchoir or a choir where you had to try-out in?

Amy Lee's voice in a choir perspective is amazing in itself.

I'm not tryin to say you shouldn't hate her, hate whomever you want. It's your life, but don't say she's a bad singer just cause you don't like them. She really does have a good voice. I hate Christina Aguilera, but you must admit, she has a pretty good voice.

Stop it all of you!!!
coldplay are good!!!


Coldplay is singular, as in 1 band. Coldplay is a band, therefore, "Coldplay is good" would be the correct sentence grammar.


hah, sorry, i had to be a prick.

Not according to Fowler: "nouns of multitude may be freely used with either a singular or plural verb, or be refered to by pronouns of singular or plural meaning". Coldplay may be refered to as a band, or as a collection of individual members that comprise that band.

I was just bein an ass...hence...I didn't really mean for it to be taken seriously, hehe.

Agreed, but even more mainstreem groups like the Beasties, Run- DMC, Grandmaster Flash, and Cypress Hill are good. Also, rap rock is good (ie. RATM) but not rap metal (ie. Linkin Park, Korn, and death metal/nu-metal company) oh yeah, I actually think Eminem is the only good mainstream gansta rapper, he definitely is into social commentary and can pull it off quite well

hah, sorry, i had to be a prick

I was just bein an ass

Make up your mind.

Lumidee, hands down, because she cannot even sing on key and whines more than your 3 year old cousin

Also, rap rock is good (ie. RATM) but not rap metal (ie. Linkin Park, Korn, and death metal/nu-metal company)

I find it an interesting historical footnote that some of the first rap heard by a lot of people in the UK would have been that version of rap rock purveyed by the Clash (Magnificent Seven/Radio Clash/etc.) or Blondie (Rapture - which IIRC was the first song with a rap in it to chart in the UK).

I'm not a fan of the Linkin Parks or the Korns of this world, but some rap-metal crossovers work a lot better than others - Helmet & House of Pain, or Anthrax & Public Enemy being examples of interesting fusions in my opinion.

Worst Singer: John Ashcroft

Good points. Public Enemy is rap metal I suppose, just in a very different sense than Linkin Park (really a pop band with a testosterone overdose)
I always say that the first rap in rock music were the verses in the Beatles' "Come Together"

OI! :mad: :sniper:

I was actually refering to the version of 'Don't Believe The Hype' that they recorded with Anthrax, but I suppose their own 'Party For Your Right To Fight' and 'She Watch Channel Zero ?!' are as equally metal as they are rap.

I always say that the first rap in rock music were the verses in the Beatles' "Come Together"

Possibly proto-rap, in much the same way that the Rolling Stones or the Who were proto-punk, but not rap as it is now commonly understood. One can look at toasting MCs and DJs from the dancehalls of Jamaica from the same time period and see a much stronger influence, but whether you include their ska/reggae/rock-steady music within 'rock' depends on how wide a definition of the term you are prepared to employ.

EDIT: one can also look to the beat poets who were earlier in performing their works to the spontaneous accompaniment of mainly jazz musicians for another form of proto-rap, but again whether you include that within the category of 'rock' is up to you.

Agreed. Amy has a great voice and fairly good range. She needs to ditch Evanescence though.

Here's a taster of one of their most straight to the point songs (you'll see why thats a joke in a minute):

http://www.drownedinsound.com/redirect.php?audioid=1028
I think they are excellent,very funny

Under "worst band" I forgot to put Evanesance. If there is any band that makes you want to commit suicide (because they suck so bad) it is Evanesance. Amy Lee's voice is all horrible and nasally.
I think she has a great voice,and it's not even my type of music.
neither is Coldplay,but if they or Evanescance were playing on the radio,I would turn it up.
Same for Linkin Park.
They are quality bands.
I like most rap & modern R&B.
How about telling us who you LIKE?

I think they are excellent,very funny

Are they as good as MC Hawking (http://www.mchawking.com/) though?

I was actually refering to the version of 'Don't Believe The Hype' that they recorded with Anthrax, but I suppose their own 'Party For Your Right To Fight' and 'She Watch Channel Zero ?!' are as equally metal as they are rap.
Who did "party for your right to fight"?
Do you mean "Fight for your right to party"?
That was the Beastie Boys.

Are they as good as MC Hawking (http://www.mchawking.com/) though?
uhhhh..................

Worst Rapper: All of them. Rap sucks. I only like it in bands like Korn and linkin Park
Worst Singer: Any pop star who doesn't write their own crappy music or sing them which is pretty much everyone.
Worst Band: The Wiggles or the Zouzounia- For all you people trashing evanescence be with a little cousin listening to these bands(One is Greek) and you'll be tying a nosse around your neck

Good points. Public Enemy is rap metal I suppose, just in a very different sense than Linkin Park (really a pop band with a testosterone overdose)
I always say that the first rap in rock music were the verses in the Beatles' "Come Together"
The BEATLES?????????
RAP IN ROCK???
IN WHAT UNIVERSE???
As far as I'm aware,The first rap/rock hybrid was Run DMC & Aerosmith with "Walk this way"

My penis sucks at rapping but can play some sick guitar riffs.

rapper: 2pac
singer: victoria beckham
band: The darkness :mad:

As far as I'm aware,The first rap/rock hybrid was Run DMC & Aerosmith with "Walk this way"

You'll want to have a listen to 'Rapture' by Blondie then from 1980, or 'Magnificent Seven' (1981) or even 'This Is Radio Clash' (1982) both by the Clash.

"Walk This Way" (1986) for some reason gets credited as being the first time that rockers and rappers worked together... why nobody ever seems fit to mention that the Clash were working with the rapper Futura 2000 years before this... ah found a mention:

http://www.beyondmedia.org/finaltech/hip-hop/timelines/TIMELINE-2.html

"1982 * Popular graffiti artist Futura 2000 puts out a record with himself rhyming called "Futura 2000 and His Escapades" with music done by the Clash, signifying the beginning of the rock/rap fusion."

singer: any pop singer who you would bludgeon your mother for the chance to bang the singer, but would insist that duct tape is involved so you don't have to hear them make a single noise...giver or take the occasional slurp
rapper: any of the idiots who died. their memory has elevated them to a status that should only be reserved for people with higher than a 3rd grade command of the english language. as for non-american rappers....c'mon. don't do that. can't you see how stupid it looks when the people who invented it do it? have some self respect.
band: man 'o war....yeah, i went there. don't know them? you should. everyone needs to break out in uncontrolled laugher/sobbing/shaking with fear for the human race.

and Yoko didn't break up the Beatles. the guy who did enough drugs to look at her naked and get a chub did that. NOTE TO KIDDIES: drugs make you bang freakish arsty chicks who sap you of all your coolness with their won ton ways

Who did "party for your right to fight"?
Do you mean "Fight for your right to party"?
That was the Beastie Boys.

Yes, I know of what I speak. The Beastie Boys released "Fight For Your Right" which contained the line "You gotta fight for your right to party" in 1986, then Public Enemy sampled the line, cut it up, shuffled the order and respliced it back together again to create the chorus of their "Party For Your Right To Fight", which appeared on their "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back" LP in 1988.

I missed that one.

I missed that one.

It may not have been a particularly good beginning to the rock/rap fusion, well actually it stank compared to some of the rap/rock crossovers the Clash had been doing under their own power, but it was nevertheless claimed to be the first time that artists from the two camps collaborated.

Make up your mind.


They both had the same meaning in my book. Don't take things so seriously man.

It isn't that I don't like Amy Lee as a person, I don't even know her. I hate her voice. The first time I heard an Evanesance song on the radio this was me, "Dang! Who IS that?" And of course I turned the station after about 30 seconds. I do not like her voice, simple as that. It just doesn't appeal to me at all. To me, it sounds like she is singing through her nose, and sounds like she is really strained.

I always say that the first rap in rock music were the verses in the Beatles' "Come Together"

You die now. There is no rap in Come Together. There is a difference between speaking in a song and rapping. Please do not taint the Beatles.

Worst Singer: Any of thoes shitty pop stars who are all synthesized (Hilary Duff, Britney Spears, etc. But not Christina Agulera. She's actually a really good singer) and who don't write their own music.
Worst Rapper: I can appreciate Hip-Hop and Rap, but I really hate all thoes sell-outs (Eminem, Nelly, etc.) who only do it for money. They don't give a shit about the music.
Worst Band: There are a lot here because I've heard probably thousands of bands. However, one that really sticks out is Good Charlotte: 1. They're not real punk, 2. Their music is complete shit. Avril Lavigne too... she tries to be punk and fails miserably.
Oh, and I like punk and power-pop (i.e. Blink-182) however I hate posers.

Note: Imamitenise = Aisetaselanau. This isn't my country, however sometimes I post with it.

worst rapper- Puff Daddy or P. Diddy, whatever (P. Puff Diddily Dang Doofus)

worst singer- whitney houston (she yells and makes my skin crawl)

worst band- simple plan/good charlotte- ("punk" bands for 11 year old girls)

oh, another terrible band is the White Stripes. die. die. die.

Falco.

Worst Singer: Any of thoes shitty pop stars .... who don't write their own music.


What is this concern with writing your own music? Neither Presley* nor Sinatra wrote their own music - does this devalue them as singers?




* mostly.

I forgot Macy Gray as worst singer.
she sounds like she has a permanent sore throat.
Her or Kelis???
both crap and both have croaky voices.

Marilyn Manson

- I'm not sure if his singing is actually bad, since I never listen to him but he is beyond weird to the point that I think he may actually be some sort of demon trapped in what resembles a human body-

Worst vocals - Rod Stewart, Bruce Springsteen, ABBA
Worst lyrics - Don McLean, Donna Summers, Neil Diamond, Earth Wind & Fire, ABBA
Worst music - Earth Wind & Fire, ABBA

Worst Rapper: Gangster Rap and most other rap. Too many to name
Worst Singer: Ashlee Simpson (I was bored and saw her live with two other bands. Only one of the three was good, and it wasn't Ashlee Simpson, she really was not as good as she was hyped up to be)
Worst Band: Good Charlotte uuuugh

I would have to agree with the White Stripes not being very good. Yeah, they have some good songs, but as musicians they are really not good. And boy bands and bands of singers don't count as bands! They need instruments to be bands! GRRRR!

Of course you may consider me prejudiced, what with me being a Ska Kid.

all the manufactured pop bands r rubbish as are all the others
Worst rapper, dont listen to it, so i'll say all of them

I hate rap and I don't particularly like coldplay. (I'm a ska guy)
Plus we all know what ever male thinks about Spears, Duff, and Simpson.EVERY male? Hardly.

What is this concern with writing your own music? Neither Presley* nor Sinatra wrote their own music - does this devalue them as singers?




* mostly.

By that I meant they just go into the studio, read a lyric sheet and sing then leave. At least Presley and Sinatra got to know their songwriters (mostly, unless they were dead) and got to know the music and such. But these pop stars don't care, they just want money.

I'm a songwriting musician and am working on a debut album. I have 2 covers, but that isn't what I'm describing. It was a bit generalist, I know.

Agreed. Amy has a great voice and fairly good range. She needs to ditch Evanescence though.I don't think Amy Lee has a bad voice, but I don't necessarily think her voice is best suited to the kind of rock Evanescence plays. She sounds like she'd be better off in a choir than fronting a rock band.

Worst vocals - Rod Stewart, Bruce Springsteen, ABBA


Really? Although a fan of neither ABBA nor Rod Stewart, I certainly wouldn't describe them as being bad vocals - what gets your goat here?

I hesitate to paint all singers who don't write their own stuff with the same brush because some are great even though they don't do much writing (Tina Turner or Linda Ronstadt for instance). However, I have more respect for people who write their own material for the most part.

I only started writing lyrics the last two years or so, but I've had a couple songs get some music put to them by musician friends. I wish you best of luck in your album efforts.

Snow, hands down(anybody remember his one single hit?).
Well, either him or Vanilla Ice.

Snow, hands down(anybody remember his one single hit?).

Unfortunately, yes.

The worst music of any kind is definitely Tom Arico. He posts as "tarico" on www.mxtabs.net, and called himself "The Republican Rockstar". He pretends to be more famous than he really is (On the "live" tracks on his site, you can tell the crowds are faked). It's both sad, and hilarious.

Also, on mxtabs he post uber-right wing bullshit, gets his argument torn apart by liberal and conservative alike, and then refuses to debate anyone.

If you want to see his retarded website, don't say I didn't warn you.

www.tomarico.com

Rap isnt music, its just people talking fast moving there arms up and down they substitute words with curses, most of it just encourages crime.

Worst singer Britney Spears.

Worst Band, no frekin Idea.

rap is most difinitly music.you probably don't even listen too any of it.

Worst Singer: Celine Dion
Worst Rapper: That guy who sang Informer, I think it was MC Snow or Snow.
Worst Band: Nirvana. Overrated, Talentless Pieces of Shit (Exception for Dave Grohl).

Aye, 'twas Snow.

Really? Although a fan of neither ABBA nor Rod Stewart, I certainly wouldn't describe them as being bad vocals - what gets your goat here?
Rod Stewart sounds like he smoked 1000 packs of Camels before he sings. His voice is like a cheese grater on my brain. ABBA is terribly high pitched and whiny. It gives me the urge to bitch slap someone.
Also, I'd like to add Janis Joplin to that list.

Yes, I know of what I speak. The Beastie Boys released "Fight For Your Right" which contained the line "You gotta fight for your right to party" in 1986, then Public Enemy sampled the line, cut it up, shuffled the order and respliced it back together again to create the chorus of their "Party For Your Right To Fight", which appeared on their "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back" LP in 1988.
Heh. That song plays when I start up my computer.

William Hung... ;)

how has it seriously gone 7 pages with no one mentioning CREED as the most worthless shit band ever? i have to admit i liked a few of their songs off the first album ("torn", "my own prison"), but after that it got really old, really fast. hey scott stapp, you're not eddie vedder. at least they broke up.

Rod Stewart sounds like he smoked 1000 packs of Camels before he sings. His voice is like a cheese grater on my brain.


As I said, I'm not particularly a fan of Rod Stewart, but I do go for that gravelly vocal style. I take it that Tom Waits is also anathema to you then?

Milli vanilli

Worst Rapper: Ja Rule, Twista, Nelly, 50 Cent, Chingy, Lil Flip...and fuck all of you who say rap only encourages crime, yall dont know shit, fo real...listen to some outkast and dont accuse me of being a wigger or whatever eaither cuz rap isnt the only thing im into. :mp5:
Worst Group/Band: G-Unit/Anything punk and emo
Worst Singer: Ushers gone wack :sniper:

*sigh*

Most of these have probably already been said, but i'm going to say them again anyway.

*deep breath*

Nickelback, Creed, D12, Snoop Dogg, 50 cent, Busta Grooves, Vanilla Ice, Nelly, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Wesley Willis, Celine Dion, Good Charlotte, Blink 182, Sum 41, Segression, Poison, Puddle of Mudd, Hoobastank, Saves the Day, Shannon Noll...I could go on forever.

Bands that used to be good but have turned into steaming pieces of shit:
Offspring, Greenday, Silverchair, Korn, Slipknot...

I've tried to be fair here. I like a bit of all genres but I think that these "artists" are nothing but complete aural shite.

Nah. Try the 1950s gameshow "What's My Line" - several people would claim to have a certain job and then the contestants would quiz them and decide which one they believed. The host would then ask "Would the real sagger-maker's bottom-knocker* please stand up"?




* Yes, this is an actual profession.

Worst Singer: Celine Dion
Worst Rapper: That guy who sang Informer, I think it was MC Snow or Snow.
Worst Band: Nirvana. Overrated, Talentless Pieces of Shit (Exception for Dave Grohl).

Nirvana was more of a movement than a Band. To say it was a bad band means you totally missed the point of the Grunge Era and the Revolution of Sound that came with it.

Without Nirvana bringing in, we'd all still be listening to Hair Metal...yikes

Ouch and the plot thickens, even more of a sorry ass loser than I thought before!

Quite possibly I'm the sorry ass loser here for actually knowing the origin.

You have made a powerful enemy.... :p

I used to hate Nirvana because i saw them as just that....but a couple of years ago I actually borrowed an album at the insistance of a friend. I thought wrongly and now they're my favourite band.

Limp Bizkit.


No Contest.

Worst Singer: Roseanne

"Worst rapper: All bad"

Pretty ignorant statement since 90% of you have no idea what good rap is.

It's like I'd say that all the rock in the world sucks foul horsecock because I've only heard Nickelback.

I still for the most part think rock > rap.

Oh no..we just get it force-fed to us 24/7 together with R&B.

As I said, I'm not particularly a fan of Rod Stewart, but I do go for that gravelly vocal style. I take it that Tom Waits is also anathema to you then?
Hm. That's really weird, because I actually own and enjoy a few Tom Waits albums. Maybe it's just that Stewart's vocal style doesn't fit the music.

Without a doubt it would have to be DMX. That shit is just unbearable. Then again so is the most of the other crap rap. Anyway there are only a few good ones that I’ll listen to. Like the Humpty Dance.
*Does the Humpty Dance*

the worst of all has to be britney spears. i was flipping through the channels and i caught one of her live preformances. she was wearing a face mike and lip syncing. then they handed her a handheld mike and she was still lip syncing. two mikes?????? then she sat down behind a piano where the camera didnt let you see her hands. (still lip syncing) she then got up while the piano was still playing. what makes her soo special that any of my girl friends couldnt do that. btw if you gave my girl friends eating coaches personal assistants personal trainers and whatnot they would look twice as good. again i ask you...why her?

william hung: he can sing...just not in english.

d-12 is horrible
rap hasnt beem good since big and tupac died.

Tupac is the greatest
