Worst Band Ever

Dirty Frank

This has probably been done before so apologies if it has. I do like to stir the **** now and then.

I would have to say right now (it changes with the weather) for me, it has to be OMG like, Blink 182. They made my.... so ....cry!:pac: They're like advanced tellytubbies. I know everyone has a right to an opinion so I don't hate you if you do like them, this is just my opinion. I did give them a try, my ex adored them but I couldn't sit and listen, I clenched up and felt like exploding when I heard them. Travis Barker is a brilliant drummer though.

Both should be blamed on their producer at the time. Lange produced both bands around the same time and as a result they ended up sounding very similar. Leppard's recent stuff actually is pretty decent.

For me, The Killers, Interpol and Katy Perry are the first in the firing line with my sniper rifle. They offer nothing new to my ears and therefore their existance in the music industry is utterly pointless.

The Manchester scene bands like the charlatans absolute tripe

gay dad. awful name, awful band

Try going on an overnight ferry cruise if you really want to see the worst bands ever. Or to a cheap wedding. Or failing that go to a college bar's back room on a random tuesday night.










No actually Xavi's right it's U2.
(sorry. Just can't resist.)

I actually enjoyed To Earth With Love

DenMan

The Killers
Green Day
Kings of Leon
Snow Patrol
Razorlight
Blink 182

To name but a few.

It does change of course (on a daily basis). Very difficult to isolate one band right now as there is so much sh*te out there, it is unreal. Have a look at the Irish charts/UK Top 40. Chances are 90%+ are awful. Just my opinion.

Haha.

Metallica for me.

Placid_Casual

Ok, limiting myself to bands/artists that I actually own or have listened to albums by...and the winner is Paddy Casey. Bland, insipid, emotionless music

DenMan

The problem here seems to lie with the writing talent and Paddy Casey is one of the main culprits. There is a lack of creative writers.

Say what you will about their later work, but their first 3 albums were brilliant, hardly the worst band in the world.

Can't disagree here. Although i'm not so sure if things would be different even if Cliff had lived. I don't think they ever stood a chance of topping Puppets. They set the bar way too high for themselves and have yet to be able to reach it since.

I find all of their music god awful.

Be that as it may, there are waaaaaay worse bands out there. The Jonas Brothers anyone?

Which reminds me:

A: One, if you throw him hard enough!

No way, do you just dislike them for their music or because you hate the Grunge scene in which they led?!? I may contrast your opinion, but seriously... you can't be much more off calling them "the worst band ever"! You have to LISTEN to music to know if a band is good or not, and it's a shame to say, people don't listed to Metal/Hard Rock/Grunge as much as to HEAR it, and that's exactly what you are doing (with Nirvana atleast).

But.... I like Def Leppard! I don't mind Bryan Adams either.

Xavi is also right.

I agree, they rocked back when they were thrash. But I have lost all respect for them since they sold out with the likes of Loaded/Reloaded... and don't even mention Saint Anger!

But those opinions have resently gone astray with Death Magnetic, which is awesome.

KnifeWRENCH

Manic Street Preachers.

Their lyrics are pretentious, faux-political drivel, their music is dull and uninventive, and Nicky Wire is the single most detestable figure in music.

Ok, I'm a Manics fan - not so much as I used to be - so naturally I disagree. I perfectly understand why some people can't stand them though.
But why the hate for Nicky Wire apart from him occasionally engaging his mouth before his brain?

To be honest if we were looking for the worst band in the world surely we'd all nominate that band that I decided to form in 5th class that didn't actually have anyone that could play an instrument.

I picked Metallica because they're unbelievably over-rated and because I actually think they're a bunch of money focused hacks.

That rules out 9/10ths of the people in the music industry so!

People can say it, but for some bizarre reason, they have a major problem spelling it!
