I have decided, with all the music lovers that frequent General, that it is high time that we create a comprehensive listing of the worst bands of all time.

Essentially, the process will work like this...

Each person who wishes to may post ONE nomination for worst band ever, and also "second" ONE other nomination by another person.

In one week, I will tally the results, and the ten bands that recieved the mosts votes will be placed on a one week poll for all of NS to vote on.

The "winner" of that poll will recieve the dubious honor of being the worst band of all time.

You're not limited by genre...if you want to nominate Linkin Park, The Backstreet Boys, The Dixie Chicks or Coolio...it's up to you!

---

I shall humbly begin the process.

I nominate Nickelback*

*try to highlight your nominations, so I can find them easier when I tally results. :)

The Shaggs.

slipknot

BTW coolio is not a band

Iron Maiden ..... Oooo, possibly controversial.

Saw one song at Leeds Festival this year and they are an absolute joke, and so were all their fans head-banging into each other.

I nominate Aqua

So many shitty bands to choose from. I don't know which one to pick. Aerosmith comes to mind though.

blink 182

You're forgetting "Starship"

Iron Maiden ..... Oooo, possibly controversial.

Saw one song at Leeds Festival this year and they are an absolute joke, and so were all their fans head-banging into each other.You can't possibly think that they're the worst band ever... if so then you're a total dumbass. Go back to listen to your Maroon 5.

Does Britney count as a band?

Does Britney count as a band?
You mean britney spears?

You mean britney soears?
Is there any other?

You can't possibly think that they're the worst band ever... if so then you're a total dumbass. Go back to listen to your Maroon 5.

Maroon 5? That was the band I first thought of but didn't want to put because I think Iron Maiden are a fucking joke.

*Goes back to listening to Arctic Monkeys*

Is there any other?
No.

McFly.

It pains for me to even name them a band, even the worst one ever, becasue that puts them in a catergory shared by the greats like R.E.M, Tenacious D et cetera.

JOURNEY

followed by The Moody Blues

Guano Apes. Most definitely.

Las Ketchup. :p

hilt

Don't forget!!!

You are allowed to "second" someone elses nomination as well as nominating your own option. :)

So many shitty bands to choose from. I don't know which one to pick. Aerosmith comes to mind though.
Aqua is very sh**ty.

Does Britney count as a band?
Comes as a close second to aqu, besides, britney is just as crappy, as both aqua and britney make This Song (http://gr.bolt.com/games/infogrames.mp3) sound like a Worldwide #1 hit.

Has anyone mentioned Rush yet? If not...well...duh.

The problem with narrowing it down to one is that so many crap bands will be let off the hook :p

Anyway, I think the perpetrator of that Crazy Frog song should be mentioned.

Hanson-- blech....

Westlife

i'm going to choose to ignore the dude who nominated iron maiden :rolleyes:

The Manic Street Preachers. Terrible band, with or without the short dead transvestite.

The Shaggs.

Ditto. However hey tread a thin line between utter incompetence and being strangely compelling.

I don't think we should even be mentioning one hit wonder bad bands...to be a truly bad band, they need to have been around for a while, revelling in their badness, singing way beyond the point where people pray for deafness...bands so damn terrible they actually have a number of albums...and people somewhere, for some reason actually LIKE them...and even attend their concerts...

Aqua has no hits.

Like Spinal Ta...., errr...I mean Iron Maiden :D .

Any band that sings about themselves in the third person should be shot.

Aqua has no hits.
I can name a few, and I don't even listen to Aqua.

Barbie Girl.
Dr. Jones

You may not like that they were considered 'hits'. I don't like it either. But someone declared them popular...

That means McFly is still a valid nomintion. This is both a good and bad thing.

System of a down. I can't believe this over rated band hasn't been nominated so far :P
They're so bad they make Slipknot sound decent :D

Bah! System of a Down is a good band. Both of the singers (lead and back-up) actually have really good voices, and I suppose I like their political stance (as shown in their lyrics).

Yea, it's like a political-rock-opera everytime I see them.

I nominate Limp Bizkit.
I second Aerosmith.

I nominate Limp Bizkit.

I'm seconding your nomination of Limp Bizkit. The other bands nominated I either like or have never heard of.

their first record was really quite outstanding and their second one had some high points but since then......

....but i agree that it is hard to pick ONE and i also agree that the act should have some longetivity.

i picked hilt, but that's tongue-in-cheek. some of the worst bands ever that i can think of, in no particular order, would be:

inxs
white zombie (who are so terrible they're actually enjoyable)
the strokes
the a-team
gentle giant
yes
throbbing gristle (again, so terrible that it's fun)
the eagles
collins era genesis (surprised this hasn't shown up yet...)
the grateful dead
green day
the village people
guns 'n' roses
metallica
megadeth
warrant
ratt
poison
iron maiden
van halen
emerson lake & palmer
frontline assembly
leatherstrip
metric
the beegees
the bangles
the b-52s
aqua
rammstein
wham!
the chemical brothers
oasis
blur
the monkees
aerosmith

i could go on forever..

I'm seconding your nomination of Limp Bizkit. The other bands nominated I either like or have never heard of.
Please tell me it's the latter for Rush....PLEASE....!

I nominate insane clown posse. Seriously, wtf?

Please tell me it's the latter for Rush....PLEASE....!

Same but with McFly.

The other bands nominated I either like or have never heard of.

For your edification, enjoyment and edu-ma-cation:

http://www.shaggs.com/

I nominate insane clown posse. Seriously, wtf?
Ok, I second that. For a while, a bunch of my students were all into them...and just UGH. Terrible stuff.

I nominate insane clown posse. Seriously, wtf?

I third that nomination, because I don't understand why anyone would like them in the first place.

I third that nomination, because I don't understand why anyone would like them in the first place.

Then I er... fourth that nomination.

The Manic Street Preachers. Terrible band, with or without the short dead transvestite.

This I second. Awful band, stupid politics (honestly going to Cuba to release an album, sure is the land of the free there) and not half as smart as they think they are.

Ok, ok. I would like to retract my nomination for Iron Maiden (although I won't retract my comments as I still agree with them :p )

I would now like to pick what is possibly an even more controversial nomination.

Pearl Jam. Eddie Vedder is as convincing as a rockstar as Alanis Morrisette....... oh, I feel their angst so much.

Please tell me it's the latter for Rush....PLEASE....!

come on now. i can name at least a hundred bands worse than rush; and although i will admit that geddy lee's regurgitation of ayn rand novels is a little agitating, the first few records were mildly enjoyable from a musical perspective.

Good Charolette

I shall nominate Radiohead. Once just a mediocre band whose importance has been blown out of all proportion. They aren't innovative, well maybe if you count stealing from others bands they selling it as a commerical package, but musically they're hacks, and worse self important preachers.

i'd have to agree that, over the last five or six years, pearl jam has become one of the worst acts ever...

BUT...

they did release a string of great albums - vs, vitalogy, no code & yield.

furthermore, i don't hear a lot of angst in vedder's lyrics....i don't really hear any at all, honestly. the angst thing was a cobain/corgan/reznor triangle. vedder & cornell were mostly political lyricists....

you can't call a band mediocre and then declare them the worst ever. this is a contradiction.

methinks ye art trolling.

That's just it, niether do I. But I can hear him trying to put that sound of desperation into his voice. Where as with Cobain inparticular, he was just in a state of angst and it wasn't something he had to focus on too much (whether that angst was justified is up for debate, but I believe he genuinely felt it).

Please tell me it's the latter for Rush....PLEASE....!
Yeah, I like Rush. They wrote the Atheist National Anthem (http://lyrics.ivory.org/freewill.html)!

come on now. i can name at least a hundred bands worse than rush; and although i will admit that geddy lee's regurgitation of ayn rand novels is a little agitating, the first few records were mildly enjoyable from a musical perspective.
Never! Sorry...Rush is always going to be the worst all time EVER band in my books. They are the definition of teh sux.

Ok, I second that. For a while, a bunch of my students were all into them...and just UGH. Terrible stuff.
Insane Clown Posse have provided me with some entertainment in the past. They were at Woodstock 99, and I was amused by a corny, skinny teenage kid who was way too into them dancing his fool ass off while they "rapped". Also one of their songs was the intro music to the Ron and Fez radio show.

Never! Sorry...Rush is always going to be the worst all time EVER band in my books. They are the definition of teh sux.

so, you think the village people were better than rush?

how about wham?

you can't call a band mediocre and then declare them the worst ever. this is a contradiction.

methinks ye art trolling.

No they were Medicore (the Bends and Pablo Honey) they became the worst ever best stealing from other better bands, making a worse product and thinking they are great.. Coupled with their near deification by the music press and some fans, it makes them the worse band ever. See I just did.

And I'm not a troll but ye art thick as two short planks.

Yeah, I like Rush. They wrote the Atheist National Anthem (http://lyrics.ivory.org/freewill.html)!
They also wrote that terrible 'Carress of Steel' fantasy metal crap. Jesus wept! Nothing can make up for this (http://www.asklyrics.com/display/Rush/The_Necromancer_Lyrics/174796.htm)!

I HATE THEE, RUSH!!!!

Maroon 5.


'nuff said

so, you think the village people were better than rush?

how about wham?
At least no one takes the Village People or Wham seriously...

System of a down. I can't believe this over rated band hasn't been nominated so far :P
They're so bad they make Slipknot sound decent :D

yeah, people would rather listen to music about fucking a chainsaw and then eating your own heart than GOOD music right? at least system arent banned in several states...

although i do hear a great deal of autechre & aphex underneath kid a, i dare you to name the record or act that radiohead ripped off for "ok computer".

The nominees are..

Boyz II Men
Backstreet Boys
Color Me Badd
The Escape Club
The Buckinghams
Menudo
The Spice Girls
Los del Rio (they're the ones who subjected the world to "Macarena")
New Kids On the Block
EMF
Right Said Fred
C+C Music Factory
Duran Duran
Wham!
Hanson
Destiny's Child (they're not a band per se, more of a vocal group, but they're crappy)
the Archies (yes, I know they weren't real, but they had a #1. What the hell were we thinking?)
Motley Crue
Whitesnake
Matchbox 20

At least no one takes the Village People or Wham seriously...

you didn't answer my question:

what is better, wham or rush? the village people or rush?

They also wrote that terrible 'Carress of Steel' fantasy metal crap. Jesus wept! Nothing can make up for this (http://www.asklyrics.com/display/Rush/The_Necromancer_Lyrics/174796.htm)!

I HATE THEE, RUSH!!!!
Well, since in the USA radio stations aren't required to play a certain percentage of Canadian music our DJs have an easier time playing the great Rush songs and leaving out the lame ones.

Avril Lavigne

Some of you, sadly, have no taste. Others I applaud.

I vote for Britney Spears. Cliché, I know, but I hate her.

I second Westlife.

I nominate Limp Bizkit.
I second Aerosmith. I actually used to like Limp Bizkit. However, no soul is beyond redemption… :D

I've never heard Busted or McFly. I don't like Slipknot at all, but they can't be the worst.
Are Aqua responsible for the Dr. Jones and Barbie Girl "songs"? Right, I second them.

In defence of Limp Bizkit, they did have two songs that were half good, or enough to make one good song. The rest is nothing more than shit-covered shit with a shitty shit filling. EDIT: Ignore that. I was thinking of Linkin Park. Limp Bizkit suck.

Never heard McFly? To emulate their singing, put your tongue over your front teeth (but allow it freedom to move) and say "It's all about you".

Bon Jovi

Nuff said.

And I also nominate Bryan Adams.

Anyone played in heavy rotation on Pop Radio

but overall...worst BAND ever...probably NickelBack or Seether (or any other we-will-sing-like-I'm-Kurt Cobain-and-try-to-revive-grunge-because-we-think- it's-still-1990 type band).

yeah, people would rather listen to music about fucking a chainsaw and then eating your own heart than GOOD music right? at least system arent banned in several states...

Both Slipknot and SOAD are crap IMO. I have many common political views with the guys from SOAD, but the fact that they have good lyrics doesn't save them from being hurtful to my ears. I liked SOAD and Toxicity, but then they became worse and worse after those. Their last album is not worth listening at all.
The only band with a sound somewhat similar to SOAD that I like is Mindless Self Indulgence. I wonder if anyone will nominate them, they're weird enough to annoy someone as much as SOAD annoys me :p

The StereoPhonics.
*Shudders*
So bad, so very very bad.

Second for Limp Bizkit.

Maroon 5? That was the band I first thought of but didn't want to put because I think Iron Maiden are a fucking joke.

*Goes back to listening to Arctic Monkeys*

Iron Maiden are WAY worse than Maroon 5. Maroon 5 are mild and inoffensive music for people who don't actually like music to have on in the background at their dinner parties. You can't imagine die-hard Maroon 5 fans. Iron Maiden fans are supposed to LOVE music, yet they love that pile of rampant tripe.

I'm with you.

*goes back to listening to Leonard Cohen*

Aqua has no hits.

Aqua had two hits. Barbie Girl and Dr Jones.

And thats only the ones i remember in my nightmares...

The StereoPhonics.
*Shudders*
So bad, so very very bad.

Second for Limp Bizkit.

The Phonics first album was passable. Limp Bizkit did a good song once (with Method Man, as i recall).

I nominate Lost Prophetz. For many musical reasons, but also because the lead singer once described Hollywood as "being like" Pontypridd (where i work). Which i hazard a guess it isn't.

Also, he tried the "do you know who i am?" trick to get to the front of a chip-shop queue, which is the moment where his delusions of star quality met with the grim reality of his life.

And if not Lost Prophetz, then HIM. Pentacles in videos to distract from the fact you sound like a bad Europe, nice trick. HARDCORE.

This I second. Awful band, stupid politics (honestly going to Cuba to release an album, sure is the land of the free there) and not half as smart as they think they are.

Their politics are generally more of the gut feeling thing than actual well thought out manifestos. Coming from the same area, i tend to share a lot of the gut politics they do.

However, the Manics do remain an awful band, and they are actually not a tenth as clever as they think they are. They claimed to be followers of both Sartre AND Camus for chrissakes, when the two had diametrically opposing world views. Bless.

I like SOAD including their latest stuff, I definitely don't think they deserve to share a sentence with Slipknot :p

I nominate the wiggles.... I think that may just be the absolute worst.

Leningrad Cowboys -- and why:

Officially speaking, the Leningrad Cowboys. Aki Kaurismäki directed the Leningrad Cowboys movies, where the band was officially the worst band in the world. This is how the real band actually started, as a group of fictional movie characters. I think they'll inherit the title.

They have their own designated hairstyle (senselessly big pompadours), and they've performed with the Red Army Choir.

From their site:" Timmy | Bass - Known also as "Tolu" which comes from a hobby related to a certain detergent. This also explains why he became a bass player."

you didn't answer my question:

what is better, wham or rush? the village people or rush?
I'll take the Village People for the best in that category...followed by Wham, and buried deep down in the earth is Rush.

Remember though...we're talking about the worst bands...so best in this sense only means "I'd rather poke my eyes out" instead of "listening to that would cause me to immediately jump into a lake of boiling sheep piss to escape".

And I also nominate Bryan Adams.
SECONDED!

I'd nominate Tired Irie or Twofold, but seeing as they're bands local to me, I doubt anyone else has heard of them. But believe me, they're shite. Twofold have, ahem, folded...or split (thank f--k)...but Tired Irie are still going.
To whoever nominated the Manics, go listen to the Holy Bible, come back, and apologise. One of the greatest albums ever.
Can't think who to nominate...Metallica maybe...hmmm...Coldplay...U2. Not so much bad as totally overrated. Here we go:
The Kaiser Chiefs. Utter f--king w--k. F--king sellout b-st-rds. Can't write a decent song to save their worthless asses.

And, not sure who this is to, it's Lostprophets, and their first album is pretty good.

The Holy Bible is shouty incoherent wank. The Manics were and always will be pish.

And i know it's LostProphets, it's a self referential joke about people i know who used to add a Z.

The Holy Bible is shouty incoherent wank. The Manics were and always will be pish.
Right...have you actually listened to 4st 7lbs, or This Is Yesterday? It's an album driven by the issues surrounding the band members at the time they wrote it, as well as a general ill-feeling among them about the general world political climate at the time. It's no good just listening to it - make yourself aware of at least some of the band's basic history first.

I nominate The Bravery for the Ridiculously Crap Name category. The Cowardice would be a cool bamnd name though :D

Yes, i am aware of the "issues" surrounding the band at the time. Given where i am from (South Wales) and how old i am (33), i've been aware of them since their New Art Riot EP in 1989, ta, and seen them 3 times (each time, not through choice, either i went to see someone else and they were on the bill, or in the case of the Manic Millennium, i went because i was going out with a Manics fan). And i understand what you are saying but, sadly, the Manics lyrics are bad sixth form poetry AT BEST. Richey couldn't write lyrics to save his life, and the music veers between sub standard hair metal and sub standard grunge rock on the first three albums. Their return, sans Richey, sounds like a shitier version of Queen or Foreigner, all glossy and heavily produced. Sadly, still the same bad lyrics.

Answer your question?

What has 9 arms and sucks?

Def Leppard!

Yes, i am aware of the "issues" surrounding the band at the time.

Remind me who it was that described that as 'a school-play version of the Clash', would you?


But seriously folks, click the link and listen to the glory that is the Shaggs:

http://www.shaggs.com/

Oh, I know the Shaggs.
There was a thread on audioscrobbler about the worst song ever and I think My Pal Foot Foot won.
I think that track is really funny though. If I may say so, it's so bad it's good :D

I agree with Insane Clown Posse as being really really bad....
also, do rappers count? Cause unless they are Eminem, Dre, or anything pre-1998 then I can't stand them. And am I the only one who thinks P.Diddy sucks? In the words of Triumph the Insult Dog, "P. Diddy, are you here still?? I didn't know wearing a suit was a skill!"

I keed I keed
Actually I'm serious

Blink 182. :mad:

Twisting punk rock into an unlistenable mass of whining voices and annoying melodies is bad enough...

But becoming massively popular, and then using this influence to totally change the definition of punk is inexcusable. Punk is now conformity.

EDIT- Oh, and I should mention the unfunny "humour". They have a video entitled "The Urethra Chronicles", an album entitled "Enema of the State" and a song called "They Came to Conquer...Uranus". I might laugh if I were 10 years old again.

To be fair, Good Charlotte is worse musically, but Blink were there first. The Offspring and Greenday deserve some credit for destroying punk too, but their early work was actually okay (and exemplary in the case of the Offspring)

What is with the two guys intent on bashing Maiden? There are bands far far worse than they ever were, even with Blaze Bailey.

Second ICP, Hanson, Aqua, Maroon 5.

I've also got to mention 'My Chemical Romance'. They've just popped up recently and they are just so utterly shit. They look like a bunch of goth/green day wannabes and they scream incoherent bullshit that no one cares about.

Musically they're shit as well.

SECONDED!

To whoever nominated the Manics, go listen to the Holy Bible, come back, and apologise. One of the greatest albums ever.

I've heard it before, they're still a terrible band with possibly the worst lyrics ever.

So no apology you see.

I nominate Korn.
I third Limp Bizkit.

The only band with a sound somewhat similar to SOAD that I like is Mindless Self Indulgence. I wonder if anyone will nominate them, they're weird enough to annoy someone as much as SOAD annoys me :pYou have SOAD's political views, but enjoy the misogyny and homophobia of Mindless Self Indulgence?

I nominate Korn.

Am I a lone voice on this forum in saying that I like their first two albums?

Am I a lone voice on this forum in saying that I like their first two albums?

You are not a lone voice. :)

I actually enjoyed many of the songs on "Follow the Leader" as well, although that was definetly the beginning of a titanically enormous descent into suckitude.

Oh, and since nobody else has actually done so yet, I'm going to "second" RUSH

You are not a lone voice. :)

I actually enjoyed many of the songs on "Follow the Leader" as well, although that was definetly the beginning of a titanically enormous descent into suckitude.

Cool, then. :)

"Follow the Leader" was ok-ish. I don't own it, though.

"Follow the Leader" was ok-ish. I don't own it, though.

I don't actually own any Korn. I used to own "Follow the Leader", but I sold it long ago to buy some Sepultura. :D

I quite like KoRn, Thoughtless was a brilliant song, and besides if it wern't for KoRn then i'd be ten times the twat i am now, they also did a worthy cover of Pink Floyd, that has to be worth somthing, I myself nominate the Scissor Sisters, anyone who murder's the Floyd deserves to be nominated worst.

I don't actually own any Korn. I used to own "Follow the Leader", but I sold it long ago to buy some Sepultura. :D

ROOOTS! BLOODY ROOOTS! Now they're a cool band. :D

As opposed to Korn, Sep got better with age (until Max left). Sep's first two albums...hahaha. The musical equivalent of raw meat. Worst production ever. :p

I quite like KoRn, Thoughtless was a brilliant song, and besides if it wern't for KoRn then i'd be ten times the twat i am now, they also did a worthy cover of Pink Floyd, that has to be worth somthing, I myself nominate the Scissor Sisters, anyone who murder's the Floyd deserves to be nominated worst.

Thoughtless...ngh. I didn't like it.

Thoughtless...ngh. I didn't like it.

that's cool, your entiled to not liking it

i just realised that i could second, therfore i second Aerosmith, me mate Leeroy won't stop talking about them, playing their songs, singing their songs, etc... they used to be good before i had heard them a million times.

Second Scissor Sisters... they make my ears bleed.

I quite like KoRn, Thoughtless was a brilliant song, and besides if it wern't for KoRn then i'd be ten times the twat i am now, they also did a worthy cover of Pink Floyd, that has to be worth somthing, I myself nominate the Scissor Sisters, anyone who murder's the Floyd deserves to be nominated worst.

Yeah, I've heard that cover. It's quite well done, actually.

That said, I never really like KoRn. Wasn't quite my cup of tea.

I would like to seventh Insane Clown Posse (damn they managed to trash a cool sounding name) and third Hanson.

How about Great White? Bachman Turner Overdrive? and while i'm here what was the name of that Russian,Lolita,faux lesbian crap, Band? that had that song '' All the Things She Said''? Yuck

Add a vote for ICP...

Thirding Good Charolette
THirding Blink 182

And... Since we're talking about annoying bands which are resposible for punk becoming broadly popular and completely missunderstood an abused:

Simple Plan.

*shudders*

Anyone said 'Spice Girls' yet? If not, I nominate them. If so, I second it.
Spice Girls? Spice Pigs more like and a pig would have a better singing voice.

Ugh, I nominate Maroon 5. Fucking awful.

lesbian crap, Band? that had that song '' All the Things She Said''? Yuck

Tatu

their first record was really quite outstanding and their second one had some high points but since then......

....but i agree that it is hard to pick ONE and i also agree that the act should have some longetivity.

i picked hilt, but that's tongue-in-cheek. some of the worst bands ever that i can think of, in no particular order, would be:

inxs
white zombie (who are so terrible they're actually enjoyable)
the strokes
the a-team
gentle giant
yes
throbbing gristle (again, so terrible that it's fun)
the eagles
collins era genesis (surprised this hasn't shown up yet...)
the grateful dead
green day
the village people
guns 'n' roses
metallica
megadeth
warrant
ratt
poison
iron maiden
van halen
emerson lake & palmer
frontline assembly
leatherstrip
metric
the beegees
the bangles
the b-52s
aqua
rammstein
wham!
the chemical brothers
oasis
blur
the monkees
aerosmith

i could go on forever..

Jesus, what exactly do you listen to? Garth Brooks and Kenny Chesney?

oh thank god, if you'd have mentioned the Holy Floyd i would have to do somthing unpleasant, as it happens you have mentioned quite a few decent bands, and as another poster asked, what in Holy Floyd's name do you listen too?

Peter Andre is still sniffin around for fame, but he blows more than Katrina on a Louisiana suburb.
And he's shafting Jordan.
I'll second Aqua cos they were arse as well.

The bolded ones, I agree with. But the rest? Dude, what the fuck?

I'm VERY suprised that nobody has mentioned them yet...

...therefore, I nominate CREED

Some of these need to be considered in the context of their times. It would be hard to consider a band as crap if they sold millions of records - yes, I'm an old fart.


inxs - danceable, fun, and oh so irrelevant.

white zombie (who are so terrible they're actually enjoyable) NOT!

the strokes - agree

the a - team never heard of 'em

gentle giant - yes - elp - collins era genesis - outstanding musicians all. Some great stuff; surely not candidates for this list. if you include these bands, you must also include Floyd.

throbbing gristle - never heard of 'em

the eagles - don't agree

the grateful dead - highly overrated (so is Phish) but still not a candidate for worst

green day - disagree

the village people - definitely cringe inducing

guns 'n' roses - Axl Rose is an asshole

metallica - full of themselves

megadeth and iron maiden - even more so

warrant - ratt - poison - to innocuous to be truly bad

van halen - Yeah. Well. Okay. Never cared one way or the other.

frontline assembly - leatherstrip - metric - who?

the beegees - which era? Some good songs.

the bangles - the b-52s - guilty pleasures

aqua - dreck

rammstein - pure, unadulterated garbage. Du hast mich? Ja.

wham! - why not condemn the entire decade of the '80's? Then again...

the chemical brothers - high suck factor, indeed.

oasis - more to be pitied than hated...

blur - who?

the monkees - come on, it was a TV show! Michael Nesmith was a helluva songwriter.

aerosmith - consider their entire corpus, but I really haven't liked anything since Rocks.

Oh. And I forgot to nominate -

Kid Rock

Worst bands ever? Undoubtedly all of the ones that I was in back in the 60s! :p

Uriah Heap

I'm VERY suprised that nobody has mentioned them yet...

...therefore, I nominate CREED

I would have nominated them, but I was under the impression we could only nominate one. They're my third most hated band - after Blink and Nickelback.

So i'll second Nickelback and Creed.

Iron Maiden ..... Oooo, possibly controversial.

Oh come on... I understand you don't like Iron Maiden, but I can´t believe you think they're the WORST band EVER...

My vote goes for Maroon 5, although Linkin Park is a close 2nd.

definatly nickleback i mean my mum likes them so they cant be good :mp5:

Zlad.

The worst and best band ever.

I nominate Led Zeppelin, my least favorite band ever

Nominate:The BeeGees
Second Limp Bizkit

I nominate Led Zepplin, my least favorite band ever

As long as you aren't nominating the legendary Led Zeppelin, that's fine by me.

;)

*pretends he didn't hear*

Leningrad Cowboys -- and why:

Officially speaking, the Leningrad Cowboys. Aki Kaurismäki directed the Leningrad Cowboys movies, where the band was officially the worst band in the world. This is how the real band actually started, as a group of fictional movie characters. I think they'll inherit the title.

They have their own designated hairstyle (senselessly big pompadours), and they've performed with the Red Army Choir.

From their site:" Timmy | Bass - Known also as "Tolu" which comes from a hobby related to a certain detergent. This also explains why he became a bass player."

I don't think that bands which revel in their tackiness can count. besides, I love the Leningrad Cowboys.

I think the best guage for how awful a band truly is lies in the number of fans who are now deeply, deeply ashamed of themselves for liking the band. As such, some consideration should be given to KISS and Hootie and the Blowfish.

ICP definitely gets a vote from me, but mostly for the sake of their fans who take them seriously. I think they're retards, and musically D- students, but on the right day they can be funny. Just don't date any ICP girls. They're weird. Don't ask.

Actually, yeah. ICP make me laugh....even if it is unintentional. I'd rather have bad music I can laugh at than bad music I cringe at...

Please someone nominate Black Eyed Peas.

I can't, I've had my nomination and these sellouts deserve to be nominated.

Oh, here's another one. The Futureheads. Utterly boring live performance.

Please someone nominate Black Eyed Peas.

I can't, I've had my nomination and these sellouts deserve to be nominated.

I second that plea

This is a list for WORST band ever, right?

Why the hell are groups like Bon Jovi, Matchbox 20, Metallica, Iron Maiden, and Megadeth even being considered when there are groups out there that CANNOT PLAY their instrument and CANNOT SING!

Spice Girls
Ragnarok
Mariah Carey
50 Cent
Ludacris
The Rolling Stones (am I the only person that thinks that they can't play their instruments and Jagger definitely cannot sing).

And my nomination... Milli Vanilli... these guys didn't even sing their songs or play instruments. All they did was dance, if that is what you would call it.

I just had a look for "Aqua" on iTunes and listened to a couple of the previews. I have come to the conclusion that their sole purpose for existing has to do with Second World War Japanese POW camps.

I second that plea

Thank You!

I've hated them ever since their #1 hit - 'Lets get retarded'....... ermmm, I mean 'Lets get it started'.

ANyone questioning these guys as sellouts and your thinking that they are a Hip-Hop act keeping it real - Did you know that the Black Eyed Peas originally were known as the Atban Klann and signed to Eazy E's gangster-rap label Ruthless Records?

Where's the love?

Obviously somewhere very close to the bank.

The Rolling Stones (am I the only person that thinks that they can't play their instruments and Jagger definitely cannot sing).

No, I agree. Though I don't think they're the worst by any stretch of the imagination.

No, I agree. Though I don't think they're the worst by any stretch of the imagination.

If I thought they were the worst band ever I would have nominated in place of Milli Vanilli, at least Jagger actually sings his own horrid songs instead of lip synching to someone else singing horrid songs...

Britney Spears - what a slapper!!

If I thought they were the worst band ever I would have nominated in place of Milli Vanilli, at least Jagger actually sings his own horrid songs instead of lip synching to someone else singing horrid songs...

Fair enough.

I could probably name 100 bands worse than the Stones though.

The Rolling Stones (am I the only person that thinks that they can't play their instruments and Jagger definitely cannot sing).

.

Well, Bob Dylan can't sing, either, yet he's a genius.

Well, Bob Dylan can't sing, either, yet he's a genius.

His music is interesting, though. The Rolling Stones i've always found tedious.

Well, Bob Dylan can't sing, either, yet he's a genius.

Don't care for most of his songs and those that I do like are ruined by his singing. If you can't sing, don't. If you can't play your instruments, don't. The world would be much safer from insidious "earworms" if these rules were followed.

There aint nothing wrong with Bob's singing, you're just not listening to it right.

There aint nothing wrong with Bob's singing, you're just not listening to it right.

Then you are not listening to Iron Maiden right.

Hard... So many boybands, which to choose... Backstreet Boys.

You have SOAD's political views, but enjoy the misogyny and homophobia of Mindless Self Indulgence?

It's not mandatory to like the message in order to like the music. And I consider that MSI is not to be taken seriously when it comes down to lyrics.

A bit off-topic: To be more specific with my views I guess I can be called a leftist anarcho-libertarian. There are very few civil issues over which I don't have liberal views, especially having to do with law enforcment. I consider the death penalty the right option in certain cases, for example people convicted for mass murder, rape, child molesting or addictive drugs traffic.

There aint nothing wrong with Bob's singing, you're just not listening to it right.

You mean drunk, high and preferably stone cold deaf?

The worst and best band ever.

Awesome ! I think it will join my guilty pleasures list.
Sometimes bad music is so good :D

Good Charlotte

But there's a million others.

So Solid Crew anyone?

I second Kid Rock. Anybody who sucks that bad, has that big of an ego, is that much of an asshole, and despite all this is that popular, needs to be shot. First with rock salt, and then with real bullets.

I also nominate the White Stripes, possibly one of the most overrated bands ever.

None of the bands nominated are the worst band ever. How can I be so sure of this?

Because so far, no one has nominated Burzum. If you do not believe that Burzum could be worse than all the bands listed here before, you should try listening them, just to hear how mind-bogglingly bad it is. The guitar, bass and drums repeat the same (badly produced) monotonous line for 6 to 9 minutes, the vocals sound like the guy is getting raped by an elephant while simultaneously having his genitals bitten off by a pit bull, and the lyrics are all Neo-Nazi fascist bullshit as an added bonus. That band is so bad that its music isn't even funny, it's simply painful to listen to. I regret having to use the words "band" and "music" to describe it.

After Burzum, I'd say that Darkthrone is the worst band, although, Dark Cathedral is really bad too. The Guilty Bystanders also make Blink 182 look like hardcore, uncompromising punk.

I second Limp Bizkit, though, they have perfected the art of sounding simply obnoxious.

My musical tastes are so anachronistic that I feel compelled to nominate Green Day.

I think I'll let this keep going for until the end of the weekend, then make a poll of the top ten choices.

So far it's ICP (is anyone suprised?), but Limp Bizkit, Maroon 5 and Aqua are making their case as well. :p

I would have nominated them, but I was under the impression we could only nominate one.

You would be correct...however, since nobody had yet nominated them, I felt compelled as thread-starter to bend the rules a little bit. :)

Styx. Only because of that God damned mother fucking poopy Mc Poop poop song Sailing Away. Why is this on Rock Stations everywhere? My idea of hell is that I'm going to be sitting in a bath tub with Dick Cheney while George Bush sings this song to us in a duet with Ann Coulter. For eternity.

Ohio Express


the WORST band of the 20th century, possibly of ALL TIME!

for those of you who are of tender years pardon this sample

Yummy Yummy Yummy I got love in my tummy!

Those of you who have been on this planet as long as I have will have unfond memories of this song.
Even thinking of it puts me in a mood to kill things and break people!

Have pondered very long about this question...but now: Modern Talking, yes, someone had to bring it up. I already feel bile piling up in my stomach by simple having to type that words :gundge:

You nominated Pearl Jam and Green Day (although: ok, Green Day's last single does suck)? What is wrong with you people?
And Radiohead? And the Manic Street Preachers? Again, what is WRONG with you?

I was going to Nominate the Worzels but they are quite good in a way

so I will nominate S Club 8 ooh such set of sprats

Am I a lone voice on this forum in saying that I like their first two albums?Apparently not. Unfortunately, a lot of people like(d) Korn's first two albums.

I actually enjoyed many of the songs on "Follow the Leader" as well, although that was definetly the beginning of a titanically enormous descent into suckitude.

Oh, and since nobody else has actually done so yet, I'm going to "second" RUSHYou like Korn but dislike Rush? *Gets a headache from trying to comprehend the incomprehensible.*

I nominate Led Zeppelin, my least favorite band everI'll second this. Not because Led Zeppelin is the worst, they're actually quite average. But it gives me the chance to point out that they're the most overrated band. :D If it had been Pink Floyd, it'd be the same, except that they're the second most overrated band.

Don't care for most of his songs and those that I do like are ruined by his singing. If you can't sing, don't. If you can't play your instruments, don't. The world would be much safer from insidious "earworms" if these rules were followed.Rules for music? Now I have two headaches from trying to comprehend the incomprehensible.

It's not mandatory to like the message in order to like the music. And I consider that MSI is not to be taken seriously when it comes down to lyrics.It depends. If you buy the CD in a used CD store, or download it for free, then that's fine, because you're not actually giving the artist in question any money. But if you buy the CD new, or go to their concerts, then you are supporting their views (by giving them money.) So why would someone support views that they not only don't agree with, but find repugnant? (This question isn't necessarily to you, but is just a question I wanted to ask and finally got the chance to.)
As far as MSI's lyrics go, I'm not sure if they're serious or not, but it is quite common to refer to women as "bitches" and so I assumed that they were being serious.

After Burzum, I'd say that Darkthrone is the worst band,I don't speak Norwegian, and I was wondering if you did, so you could tell me if Darkthrone had the same abhorrent neo-Fascist lyrics as Burzum. (Their songs that I've heard in English aren't Fascist, but the Norwegian ones might be.)

Apparently not. Unfortunately, a lot of people like(d) Korn's first two albums.
*puts hand up* i like korn's first two albums. and their fourth, too :)

actually i like Issues (4) far more than Life Is Peachy (2), and a little more than their debut, but thats by the by...

I'll nominate everything you like that i dont (which i'm sure is pretty much all of it)

So far it's ICP (is anyone suprised?)

Only a very little bit. People generally have a lot more fun disliking somone they haven't actually listened to. ICP's not my favorite or anything, but they do produce a solid product and a lot of thier crap is -seriously- funny.

Anyhow. It seems logical to me that you can't nominate someone who's already been nominated. That would be a second, no matter what you called it. So, yeah... I guess I'll second Hanson. That crap gives me tumors.

For an original nomination? There are just so many. I'd dearly love to say U2... I hate that ugly, arrogant, self serving rat bastard Bono, and "hate" is a word I use entirely sparingly... But, even I have to admit some of their songs are pretty good.

I'm gonna say Stryper, with the caveat that I really mean basically any and all of those xtain rocker slags. I got no patience for anyone who tries to shove their offensive religious drek down my throat, and anyone - real or imaginary - that insists I bow down and worship him is offensive.

*puts hand up* i like korn's first two albums. and their fourth, too :)

actually i like Issues (4) far more than Life Is Peachy (2), and a little more than their debut, but thats by the by...I'm not as familiar with Issues so on that grounds it is less objectionable than their first two albums.

You're leaving out some quite good music. POD? Kings X (esp their early stuff.)

I have a hard time equating *presenting* with *shoving* That being the case, anything anyone spews that I disagree with is being "shoved down my throat."

That would include your opinion.

Besides, last I checked you were given free will. God doesn't require your worship; so feel free not to worship.

I'm not as familiar with Issues so on that grounds it is less objectionable than their first two albums.
the writing/lyrics are good, the style is quite different... you never know, you might like it :D

I second Britiny Spears(who I call Demon Spwan) and would like to add Shania Twain or Celine Dion. Any one of those 3 singers my brain freezes and screams to me "make it stop. I'll confess just make it stop".

I second Simple Plan

For the simple fact I haven't thought of anyone quite so horrible...

And I didn't second Blink because although they are responsible for the creation of pop punk, they at least have some talent. For what they wanted to do and for what they did they were pretty true to themselves. And that at least gives them a worthwhile reason to not be the worst band ever. Furthermore, being the creater of entire genre, in my eyes, eliminates them from being the worst band ever.

I don't speak Norwegian, and I was wondering if you did, so you could tell me if Darkthrone had the same abhorrent neo-Fascist lyrics as Burzum. (Their songs that I've heard in English aren't Fascist, but the Norwegian ones might be.)

On the back of one of Darkthrone's albums (or somewhere on the record sleeve), on the original print, it said, in big bold letters: "Norsk Arysk Black Metal"

That translates to "Norwegian Aryan Black Metal"

I don't think that leaves much room for doubt, although I'm told that on more recent prints, it says "True Norwegian Black Metal." In any case, their sound is intolerable.

I think a lot of you misunderstand what WORST BAND EVER means.

It doesn't mean the band you, for whatever reason, you don't like very much. It doesn't even mean the band you loathe with a passion. It means the band that, harmonically, rythmically, and lryically could not play their way out of a box made of air. You guys are making whatever really is the worst band ever seem a lot less so because of all the not-that-bad (or just plain awesome) bands you're nominating.

Well instead of being critical, you could actually nominate a band that distinctly and universally lacks harmony, rhythm, and lyrical quality.

greenday

really are completly talentless

greenday

really are completly talentless

They hardly qualify as the worst. Go listen to Dookie. There are hundreds of popular albums out there worse than that.

I'm sorry, but you're all completely wrong.

The worst band ever, is, undoubtedly, TOOL.

That's right, you heard me.

I'll take the Village People for the best in that category...followed by Wham, and buried deep down in the earth is Rush..

bwahahahahahaha!

so, it's 1978 and there are three shows happening in town.....there's some event that forces you to see a show....i don't know why you HAVE to see a show but you do....

you'd rather go dance it up with the village people than sit through a rush concert? have you ever seen a guy play keyboards with his hands, bass with his feet and sing all at the same time?

nope....to hell with that....you're gonna throw on them dancin' shoes and starting shouting out some acronyms....

bwahahahahahahaha.....

I'm sorry, but you're all completely wrong.

The worst band ever, is, undoubtedly, TOOL.

That's right, you heard me.

BLASPHEMY!!!

*grabs torch and pitchfork* :p

-----

Nominations are now CLOSED!

A new thread with a poll will be up shortly.

The white stripes. I would personally kick jack white in the nuts if only I could ever find him...

I personally don't think Leningrad Cowboys is so terible, they are a parody!
But I think Ohio Express is the worst band of the modern era and I am surprised no one else realizes how bad they reek!

I'm sorry, but you're all completely wrong.

The worst band ever, is, undoubtedly, TOOL.

That's right, you heard me.

Bullshit. Aenima is easily one of the best albums of the 90's. Lateralus is a bit overrated, but Undertow and Opiate are also great.

Bullshit. Aenima is easily one of the best albums of the 90's. Lateralus is a bit overrated, but Undertow and Opiate are also great.

Lateralus is good, though. Undertow is really great. "Disgustipated" is just... damn.

I can see how people might not like Tool, but I honestly don't see how anyone could think that they're the WORST band EVER.

I would have to say my band is the worst one ever because it consists of no members and has never even performed a song. All the other bands mentioned are much better than mine because they at least have enough popularity to be recognised by more than one person.

Don't care for most of his songs and those that I do like are ruined by his singing. If you can't sing, don't. If you can't play your instruments, don't. The world would be much safer from insidious "earworms" if these rules were followed.

Then no one would ever play a musical instument. People aren't, as a rule, born virtuosos. You have to go through a period of playing it badly before you ever get any good at it. Some progress faster than others, but that's true of anything. One of the things that improves you in a hurry is playing live in front of a crowd. You may get booed now and then, but you'll also get better real quick!

Voice, on the other hand, is a subjective thing. What's painful to your ears may be quite melodious to another's. Many people love Bob Dylan's voice, which is great for me, as I imitate him quite well. :p

Anything with Bob Dylan, any Rapper, or Niel Young, to include Crosby, Stills, and Young, as well as Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young.

Lateralus is good, though. Undertow is really great. "Disgustipated" is just... damn.

I can see how people might not like Tool, but I honestly don't see how anyone could think that they're the WORST band EVER.

Lateralus is good, I just don't think it's as good as their other albums.

And "Disgustipated"....yeah.
:D

Anything with Bob Dylan, any Rapper, or Niel Young, to include Crosby, Stills, and Young, as well as Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young.

Are you shitting me? Bob can't sing very well, be he writes damn good songs, and lots of them.

Are you shitting me? Bob can't sing very well, be he writes damn good songs, and lots of them.

So does Neil Young. Not really my thing, but I can recognise the talent.

So does Neil Young. Not really my thing, but I can recognise the talent.

Exactly. People need to get their heads out of their asses.

McFly.

It pains for me to even name them a band, even the worst one ever, becasue that puts them in a catergory shared by the greats like R.E.M, Tenacious D et cetera.

McFly are comfortably better than Tenacious D, it's really good pop music

it's really good pop music

^ That's an oxymoron... :p
