Worst bands of all times...

[ichi]

Im going to go out on a limb here and say Van Halen.

with Sammy Hagar I'd agree, but with Dave up front they were cool

[ichi]

Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park.

What abominations.

Linkin Park is what is wrong with music today. Awful

Led Zepellin
Pink Floyd

Nothing you ever say will have any credibility. Either trolling or on drugs (not the good kind either)

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Gah! How can anyone not like so many awesome bands! To think that the Dead, Floyd, Zep and the Stones were all mentioned as the worst band of all time is insane! Think of how many horrible bands there have been! I mean there's disco and hair metal and punk and countless of other suck music! Gah!!!!

Let me add some more biggies

Bruce Springsteen. Man he sucks.
Kiss
U2
Boy George
The other band that the dead go by when their not being the dead. Its even worse than when they have Garcia. I forget the name.

Abba is the best POP band ever
Van Halen rocks with Roth.

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

Bruce Springsteen. Man he sucks.

I'm going to have to disagree with you there Gawain. Bruce is great, and his seventies output, from The Wild, the Innocent..., to Darkness on the Edge of Town is excellent, although I'm not so keen on most of his stuff after that. Born To Run, in particular, is a truly majestic record.

[Beirut]

Pot and LSD helped a lot of bands with better music (Beatles in particular).

Pot and LSD helped a lot of listeners too.

[Ronin]

-boybands, girlbands, britneys and such associated garbage
-limp bizkit, linkin park(and any else nu-metal crap)
-most rap(some good stuff mixed in there tough)
-The beatles(no i´m not kidding.....utter crap and the most overrated band EVER in my opinion.....i just have to listen to a couple of their songs and i start to realize were mark chapman was coming from..)

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Well you just proved you have no sense of musical appretiation or history.

[Ronin]

Well you just proved you have no sense of musical appretiation or history.

don´t give me that..."ohhh they they influenced everyone after them"....so did beethoven...but i don´t praise him for a record that came out last month...

i know dull and boring when i hear it...and the beatles are it....and you know what?....it´s not that they are THAT bad....if they were a regular band i´d think that they were regular and nothing more...it´s the "greatest band of all time" bullsh*t that is brought up everytime someone mentions them that really makes me wanna smash the stereo everytime they come on


but what am i debating this for?...i´m talking with someone that put the boss on his list....

[Gawain of Orkeny]

don´t give me that..."ohhh they they influenced everyone after them"....so did beethoven...but i don´t praise him for a record that came out last month...

I do if he influenced it. Many a serious musical scholar compares the Beatles to composers such as Beethoven. Do you have any training in music or play an instrument? Sure dosent sound that way. They did things no one ever tried before an expanded the scope of rock as no one before or since. They helped bring down the USSR and were really the start of giving power to the young. They changed the world .No other group can come close to making such a claim.

yes...i do play an instrument......do i break some sort of secret commandment because i call something dull and boring if i find it so?

as far as being an influence...so what?....you can be influenced by something and still blow it out of the water yourself...

there have been many bands after the beatles that have done just so....blow them out of the water completelly......i could stand here all night stating bands that were so much better than them...the police is a good example.....5 albums...all class, no filler...there´s maybe 1 bad song in there...


..this almost "sainthood" that they are given in the music business is bs.....like i said....my dislike for them is greatly due to the force used to force them as being the greatest band ever...


help bring down the ussr?.....giving power to the youth?......silly me...i tough that political and economic pressure and higher education standards were responsible for those 2.....this is music here...it´s important...but let´s not make it more important than it is...

[Steppe Merc]

Gah! The Beatles are awesome! They are the best band ever!
They changed Rock and Roll, and made it awesome. Without them Dylan never would have went electric, and the Stones and countless others would never have made it big. Their later stuff is just incredible. I mean the White Album is just awesome, as is Abbey Road, Sgt. Pepper's, Revolver, so many other incredible albums.

Bruce Springsteen. Man he sucks.

No way. Bruce is good. Not the best, but as BKS said, his early stuff is quite good.

yes they would have made it.....rock and roll comes from the blues....that´s the main influence...mainly in the guitar style of the music...

i´m pretty sure that a bunch of british boys with lame haircuts can´t claim responsability with the real source of rock and roll that is the blues........or do they claim responsability for that too?

[Steppe Merc]

Yes, the blues still would have existed, and that is the main source of rock. However, it would never have made it to the white audience without them. Sure Elvis helped a bit, but without the Beatles, would the Yardbirds and the Stones still have been signed, or countless of other bands? Would anyone listen to the Yardbirds and the Stones, besides a few people? Once peope heard the Beatles, they branched out into other bands, but without the Beatles, would those people have ever listened to those bands? Or would the bands have ever even made it big, or even existed? IMO, I don't think so.

On the assumption that Rap isn't music, I would say Milli Vanilli.

Have to agree. Rap is not music. It does have some rhythm and sometimes there is a tune but over all its not music.

[Devastatin Dave]

Pot and LSD helped a lot of listeners too.

Like I said in the first post in a round about way...

[Steppe Merc]

Dave, no real Dead Head would go to rehab for pot and LSD, silly.

Good Point....

[Hurin_Rules]

I see that no one has yet mentioned White Lion.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

and sometimes there is a tune

But its never their tune but a sample of an old one that somebody else wrote. The only decent rap is the kind Mariah Carey started with a hot babe sining with some rapper. At least theres music there. Theres tons of artists copying this style now. Ill still take rock and roll though thank you.

[PanzerJaeger]

Bruce Springsteen does suck.. as does Van Halen no matter who was playing with them, Sammy or Dave.

[Zalmoxis]

Anything punk is gonna suck.

[InsaneApache]

any band with any connection whatsoever with Mr. Simon 'hotpants' Cowell

[English assassin]

Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park.

What abominations.

Left and right meet, on the subject of "nu metal"...

Linkin Park especially seem to be an affront to humanity.

Persumably only the fact that solo "artists" have been ruled OT has stopped someone mentioning Celion Dion? And, oh god, Bryan Adams?

man, Canada has some explaining to do...

[English assassin]

Anything punk is gonna suck.

Wot? The Sex Pistols, suck?

Thats it I'm off to listen to Never Mind the Bollocks right now to purge such heresy from my mind...

[InsaneApache]

and to think that my brother was arrested in 1977 for wearing a NMTB 't' shirt ..... how quaint.

now listen carefully and say after me....

Punk is good..

rinse and repeat

[Axeknight]

Wot? The Sex Pistols, suck?

A cheap holiday in other people's misery!

I don't want a holiday in the sun,
I wanna go to the new Belsen,
I wanna see some history,
Cuz now I got a reasonable economy!

Now I got a reason, now I got a reason,
Now I got a reason an' I'm still waiting,
Now I got a reason,
Now I got a reason to be waiting,

THE BERLIN WALL!

Class. Never Mind The Bollocks is a great record, no matter what you guys say. Stop the hate, people, classic rock and punk can live side by side. I love Zeppelin, the Stones, the Doors, Guns N' Roses, AC/DC, Thin Lizzy and Pink Floyd as well as the Pistols, the Ramones and the Clash.

As to those who say Van Halen suck; listen to their early stuff, or even Hot for Teacher and Jump - they rock! Okay, so it's not the Doors - you're not likely to be intellectually stretched and challenged by it - but for blowing off steam and having a bit of fun, they can't be beaten.

Virtually anything that passes for heavy metal these days (Slipknot, System of a Down, any of that Scandinavian rubbish) is crap. And while punk is good, its spinoffs (hardcore and thrash metal) suck the big one.

[Kaiser of Arabia]

Let me add some more biggies
Kiss

AAAHHH!!!! You did not just say that Kiss is bad did you? While I don't like what they represent they have some good songs (Strutter being top of the list)

Abba is the best POP band ever

You just praised Abba? I just lost all respect for you Abba was formed by the devil!

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Yeah ABBA is the devils work but KISS is fine.

[lars573]

Have to agree. Rap is not music. It does have some rhythm and sometimes there is a tune but over all its not music.

Yes it is. If you deny the musicness of Rap then you deny the musicness of all forms of rock.
