Not actually sure if these are the worst bands ever but all 3 make me feel physically sick...
― Ant, Thursday, 11 May 2006 11:16 (eighteen years ago) link
Queen - I just don't get it. I mean Radio Gaga is passable (mainly 'cos of Moroder). Other than that their fusion of opera and rock reminds me of the weird kid in school trying to make the hamster and the tortoise mate by pushing them together. Ditto the chilli peppers 'funk rock' while we're on the subject. I like funk and rock but fusing them is incredibly.
Bare Naked Ladies - Just wrong on so many levels. Over sincere vocal - check. Quirky lyrics - check. Clean production - check. Sort of band that gets idolised by dim lads who think this is smart.
Black Eyed Peas - How did they go from Jurassic Five style also rans to this? You've said it all before. My Humps? Least sexy song ever.
Celine Dion - I was so rude once to someone who liked them he never talked to me again. Why is it though that their biggest fans that I meet seem to be corporate drones who in person are inoffensive but you just know at work they have one of those jobs that through an Excel spreadsheet fucks over the lives of millions in third world countries. they never see.
...that was a bit of a rant wasn't it?

That Billy Zoom quote about Woodstock/Ramones means he's it-the worst artist ever.
― Bill Magill, Monday, 28 April 2008 18:14 (sixteen years ago) link
one republic, surely?
― m the g, Monday, 28 April 2008 18:20 (sixteen years ago) link
The Killers for me at the moment. Off goes the radio when they come on.
― Pashmina, Monday, 28 April 2008 18:24 (sixteen years ago) link
Whoa -- what did Billy Zoom say about the Ramones?
― Alex in NYC, Monday, 28 April 2008 19:06 (sixteen years ago) link
I feel like Jeff Buckley deserves at least one mention here, so he doesn't feel left out. (Not saying he's necessarily the worst musical artist ever, but he's worse than anybody else I just saw nominated during a quick skim of the thread.)
― xhuxk, Monday, 28 April 2008 19:14 (sixteen years ago) link
This from a man who owns several Teen Marie albums.
― Alex in NYC, Monday, 28 April 2008 19:22 (sixteen years ago) link
Hey, I just own one. (And that's one more than I own of Jeff's.)
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 28 April 2008 19:22 (sixteen years ago) link
Zoom apparently said all music between Woodstock and the Ramones was shit. Those happen to be my favorite years in all of music.
― Bill Magill, Monday, 28 April 2008 19:23 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, that's a bit of an ridiculous generatlization. And Billy Zoom is a creepy Christian zealot, but still --- he's Billy Zoom. He wrote the riff to "Hungry Wolf." I'll let it slide.
Teena Marie should be slapped with a fish.
― Alex in NYC, Monday, 28 April 2008 19:33 (sixteen years ago) link
Teena Marie's too irrelevant to be the worst anything.
― Bill Magill, Monday, 28 April 2008 20:27 (sixteen years ago) link

Well that's the case with just about anything shitty, innit ain't it?
I was just reading the GG Allin thread and although the word "worst" when referring to Allin is just a few shades deeper than it is when referring to Teena Marie, you could say the same thing about GG Allin.
Anyone who really sucks is gonna be so cult that they are a priori irrelevant; anyone popular enough to be relevant has a large group ready and willing to explicate why they didn't, after all, suck that much.
Therefore, nobody sucks, or at least, nobody sucks the most.

Interesting theory. I have no idea what you're talking about.

creed are pretty indefensible. they were just so unnappealing in every way. same with staind. and probably nickelback too, but luckily i haven't heard enough of them to judge accurately.
bush wrote the worst lyrics of any rock band ever in history. and they weren't just bad, they were mind-blowingly bad. i actually have to give them some kind of credit for writing so many incomprehensible songs that are some nightmare hybrid of grunge/industrial rock/nu metal songwriting.
― scott seward, Monday, 28 April 2008 21:01 (sixteen years ago) link
I've had the misfortune of hearing Nickelback a bunch at my gym. They epitomize mediocrity, I can't even say they're bad.
― Bill Magill, Monday, 28 April 2008 21:03 (sixteen years ago) link
I think you're all forgetting a little song called "Rockstar".
