The WORST bands and artists ever?

condra · 2006-01-31 01:22:35

Who gets your votes for the worst bands or artists ever? I mean, apart from the obvious answers like Westlife and Steps, what group or artist which has actually got some sort of recognition can you not bare to listen to? What makes your ears bleed? For me Ill say .. hmmm... Ozric Tenticles and HIM

Firstly, just a warning:

Please let's not let this thread quickly evolve into a battle of Boardies defending each other's favourite bands against the onslaught of other people describing them among their "WORST bands and artists ever"!

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion!

If it starts going that way, i'll lock it ASAP!

Youre right basquille. I phrased the origional post rather badly anyways, coz Im actually more interested in some genuinely awefull tunes, perhaps some bad covers, maybe if people mention some more obscure stuff it would be kool. I still hate Ozric Tenticles and him.;)

mmmm i'd say I'd have to agree with Celine Dion but lets not forget Maria Carey and anything thats come from Popstars or Idol shows (Bar Kelly Clarkson as she's actually talented)

I'll go with Slipknot too and maybe Damien Dempsey, Paddy Casey and Declan O Rourke...

I'm aggrieved at the fact that no-one's mentioned the Black Eyed Peas yet.

Or the Sugababes.

haha!
I hate 99% of rap, i.e. gangster rap, aggressive rap, tacky rap...

Does anyone have any obscure and awefull tunes which are so bad they have to be heard?

Ive been checkin out some "world" and "ethnic" music lately. I tells ya one thing, some of "them fard'ners" have pretty awefull taste. The worst offenders so far being Russia, France [for the sheer volume of Cheesy ballads] and China.

Some music can be so crappy and cheesy, then given a back beat, and suddenly its kinda kool - I mean like "1972 square dance jamborine" by jacknife lee or "lovely" by wagon christ.. hmm ill take my anorak off now..
:rolleyes:

I never really HATE bands for the silly little reasons like "my lil sister listens to them all the time.." or "they're just way too commercial for my taste". Rather I take into account talent, ability, performance, lyrics and personality of the person behind the vocals/music.

Of anyone else in my head at the moment the name Avril Lavegne(spelt incorrectly) stands out. This girl is so bursting at the seems with teenaged angst that just drives me crazy. "my bossy parents, my stupid teachers, MY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS all make me feel so blue".
And she has also helped fan the flames of the "Rock Chick" persona that you'll see displayed in your local Clares Accessories. There are few things more false in todays society.
This girl is also entirely under the illusion that she is more gifted than she truely is. When Sk8tr Boi(i wont even comment on the spelling) was a huge success I recall reading an interview with Avril where she claimed that her lyrics were comparable to Bob Dylans. First of all one should never compare ones own talents to a certifiable legend as it is simply not becomming. But what makes it worse in this case is that her "music" is about as lyrical genius defunct as "Whoomp, There it is!"

So worst singer ever, that I can think of right now, Avril Lavegne. The worst thing to come out of Canada since Celion Dion.

Yes I'll be wildly original too and nominate 'The Thrills'. Bunch of no-talent sell-outs. Hope they disappear up bonos arse someday.
