Just noticed this thread is 24 years old. That's awesome! And we're still finding Worst Bands! But it should be more like "Forgettable Bands". I mean, all the bands mentioned so far (well, most of them) were quite successful and had/have millions of fans, so there's no calling them "Worst." But think of bands/artists who came and went quickly who don't still live on their catalog. Rockwell; Ma$e; Magic!; Dido. (actually, no on Dido - she's still worth $15 million based on catalog streams). But you know what I mean. |
@mkreg LOL |

Wow. So, the rules are: If I don't care for a band/musician/singer then they are the worst ever? If their genre is not my favorite then "they" stink on ice? If every piece of music "they" produced wasn't golden, then "they" should have been tarred and feathered? And if you like them, all your taste is in your mouth? One bad performance condemns them forever? I saw Aerosmith twice-watched them get run off the stage both times. They sounded like drunk chimpanzees vandalizing a music store. No one on the stage was playing the same song at the same time. I still liked some of their stuff and they are far from the worst I've heard. Some of these opinions say far more about the holders than the subjects. LOL Now that I've posted this pompous sounding, condescending drivel, I can be nominated for Worst Audiogon Poster Ever. Now that's a thread that promises to be lively! |
+1 @czarivey |
Lots of opinions here. for ever hater there is someone who loves the band. I remember when it was so stylish to trash nickelback that people who had never heard them were reposting how bad they were. Not that I loved them but there was one Valentino Rossi video done to Nickelback that was legendary. Definitely some great bands being listed here as "worst band ever", probably from a different decade than the poster grew up in. Jerry |
Gotta go Grateful Dead. As a lifelong musician, that sounds absolutely nothing like music to me. Exact same guitar solo every damn time. Obviously many folks would disagree. I know many other accomplished musicians who feel the same. And everyone applauds the Beach Boys as genius. I would never listen to a second of any of their songs. Negative 1,000,000 on the soul/groove meter. Yay harmonies, harmonies that sound like *ss...... |

@lihifiguy I feel the same way about Steven Tyler and "Aeroshit" |
All-right, I’ve just scrolled six pages and no mention of The Shaggs. They released one album, ‘Philosophy of the World’. Maybe they were so awful that they were great? Here’s the Wiki entry; https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shaggs

@audition__audio Agree how could the Dead make Live Dead which is one of my favorite albums, with the fantastic Dark Star, then make consistent crap. Jeff Beck he's made the same album 100 times. Lots of other bad eggs out there. |
There is a lot of truth with those examples given on this feed. Some i found quite comical. Nevertheless, everyone has opinions, and that's what its all about. Rock n Roll on the radio, what ever is left of it, is quite poor. If you live in NYC, we still have a few rock stations, from century old dj's doing their thing. I applaud them. Don;t mind listening to JJ flash, over and over, or the Who;s Bab O'reily they keep the music alive. MTV, is probably the worst in terms of broadcasting, once they dished the Rock genre. Have you seen the sht that's on their nowadays. VH1 used to be a little better, but again, garbage 2.0. We are all left with our albums, cds, vinyl, concert recordings, as well as attendance to these shows to reminisence. Old skewl, indeed, there will never be, music, specifically speaking of classic rock, "My generation", of this magnitude. Today, we have lip syncing, offending weak minded people, performers on stage with dancers, and frankly in my eyes, without any musical ability or talent. How can you have 15 dancers and 1 singer, on the same stage, in their lingerie. Anyone play any musical instruments, to tie it all together. I guess im old skewl, and will leave it as that. --- Be well!! |
