Can't tell you. I've tried to purge them from my mind.~D
Maroon 5, nuff said.
Of the most popular groups Id have to agree that the Dead are aptly named. Boring dosent even begin to describe them. ~D
On the assumption that Rap isn't music, I would say Milli Vanilli.
I'm offended by that joke, Dave, and you too Gawain. :furious3:
~;)
Um, well going with what Sharrukin says, since rap isn't music as well as pop, I'd have to go with... well... I can't think of any, I try and avoid bad bands.
I'll come back when I think of some.
To be bad dont you actually have to perform and not just lip sync to someone else?Quote:

Manowar- kind funny sometimes. :dizzy2:
Crash Test Dummies-mmmmhhhmmmmmm
Aqua, worst thing that have come from Denmark since Viking Raids. ~D
Well that's true.Quote:

If I can't go with 'Whatever The Hell His Name Is', it would be in order, Musical Youth, Backstreet Boys, Simple Plan.
Abba
ichi ~:cheers:
BTW the Dead were great, especially when 'enhanced'
any band that is a boy band is horrible.
Im going to go out on a limb here and say Van Halen.
Sure a lot of bands were technically worse than them, but few were able to come out with horrible song after horrible song and build such a devoted fan base on such crappy music. These facts mean that Van Halen is played a lot on my favorite radio stations(classic rock ones), which really irritates me.
If not the worst band ever, the worst established band ever. In my opinion, of course.
I think that's a bit unjustified. Although their later output is very poppy, Van Halen's self-titled debut is a great album, and the first real milestone in the development of electric guitar since Are You Experienced?Quote:

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!!!! :furious3:
I'd have to agree. I can't stand Van Halen. I'd also have to add KISS (I wanted to shoot myself when I saw them with Aerosmith, it like a damn circus, not about the music), Linkin Park, Limp Biscuit, Sex Pistols, and all 80s hair metal bands, as well as others.Quote:

Oh, and I'm not including the Backstreet boys or any of them, because they don't play instruments, and they don't really sing. Thus, not a real band. :bow:
Def Leppard (I hate them)
Van Halen (I can't stand them)
That Prince guy(gives me a bad name :furious3:)
Limp Bizkit(this guy is even crappier the Prince, hard to do)
Don't be dissin Abba. They are awesome musicians, not even close to being in the same league as the crap you guys posted(and rightly so).
Black Eyed Peas
Marylin Manson'
Limp Bizkit
Puddle of Mud
Backstreet Boys and NSync(it's only for girls, GAH!)
Green Day
and many other rock/heavy metal/punk bands.....
Either the guy has a problem with classic rock, or the guy has a problem with drugs. I seem to think its the latter, as this was far from the only quote about bands and drugs I saw..Quote:
Let's see how all you rock fans feel about this article link
Now I voted for Bush, so naturally im not a big fan of druggies or the drug culture( ~;) ), but if you discount all musicians who use(d) drugs as bad - then your not really judging the music, but the musicians.Quote:
Second, they paved the way for the marriage between music and drugs which to this day has ruined rock 'n' roll.
Also, he says in the opening that he will give real reasons for why the bands are bad - but he doesnt.. ~:)
The 80s ruined rock and roll in my opinion.Quote:

It started in the mid 70s, with disco and some of the more sellout bands (REO Speedwagon, etc.), and punk but the 80s killed it. Only Stevie Ray Vaughn was good then...
And I can't think of one band that I like that never used drugs. So it's quite silly to blame any one band for introducing drugs. Besides, IMO, only cocaine and herion are bad for the music. Oh and booze too (though it's ok as long as they aren't drunk while playing, which most of them were, or if it's not to execess, which it often is).
Pot and LSD helped a lot of bands with better music (Beatles in particular).
with Sammy Hagar I'd agree, but with Dave up front they were coolQuote:

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.
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.Quote:

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

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...

Gah! The Beatles are awesome! They are the best band ever! :furious3:
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.
No way. Bruce is good. Not the best, but as BKS said, his early stuff is quite good.Quote:
Bruce Springsteen. Man he sucks.

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? ~:eek: ~D
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.

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

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

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.
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)Quote:

This might get me flamed, but I've always disliked the Beatles. Maybe because I am too young to be impressed by their charms or what, but I can't stand their music (sound almost out of tune...almost) and the people just piss me off.
Besides them, the Limp Bizkits and other schmuck 'bands' of today are an insult to music.
And no, I don't count Rap as a form of music. It's more like a virus.

McFly or any NuMetal or BoyMetal group.
God I want to punch them so much. I think I'd be happy bunching those guys for a long time after they died.
My word but there is a lot of hostility here. ~:eek:

Nah, I don't like Jazz either, not usually. But I am glad to see Ronin helped me out on this.
As far as I know, the best thing the Beatles did was introduce drugs into music. Keep weeding out the population of them...good work guys!

Sorry G-man, but i don't like the Beatles either. I'd rather listen to sharpened nails on a chalk board than listen to the hyped up four. I'm more of an Elvis fan myself, that might explain the dislike for the bugs.

Quote:
Beatles helped bring down communism in Russia'
The Beatles helped bring about the downfall of Soviet Communism, according to a documentary to be screened in the United States.
The two-hour film, entitled The Beatles Revolution, explores the phenomenon of the Fab Four, featuring interviews with President Bill Clinton, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and Salman Rushdie.
Milos Forman, director of Academy Award winning One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest said: "It sounds ridiculous but I'm convinced The Beatles are partly responsible for the fall of Communism."
His claim is backed up by Dr Yury Pelyoshonok, a Canadian based Doctor of Soviet Studies, who grew up in the former USSR in the 1960s.
"The Beatles had this tremendous impact on Soviet kids. The Soviet authorities thought of The Beatles as a secret Cold War weapon," he said.
"The kids lost their interest in all Soviet unshakable dogmas and ideals, and stopped thinking of an English speaking person as the enemy.
"That's when the Communists lost two generations of young people ideologically, totally lost. That was an incredible impact."
Rolling Stone Keith Richards suggests that the music of the 1960s played a big part in bringing about the end of Communism.
"After those billions of dollars, what brought it down? Blue jeans and rock 'n' roll."
At this stage there are no plans to screen the ABC documentary in the UK.
LINKQuote:
The Beatles are the Rosetta Stone upon which the entire language of contempory modern music is based and translated. To not understand and appreciate the Beatles, at least in passing, is to not understand music in the post-Elvis era. I pity and sometimes even distrust anyone that just doesn't understand what makes them so special.
Who cares if they helped bring down Communism or impacted music for years to come? They still suck.
Although they probably aren't the worst band ever.
That's true about the USSR and communism. My dad loved the Beatles and he was pretty ideological about communism as well. But he loved the beatles. ~D
I don't see how their music sucked. Their tunes are pretty catchy and much better then most bands ever. I wouldn't say they are the best, but that's all subjective. Everyone likes different things.
back to the Sex Pistols....
Well, the whole point of Punk was that it was angry. Maybe you have to be British but stuff like "God save the Queen" (she ain't no human being) is pure working class genius. No LIFE ???? Anarchy for the UK has no life? "I wanna destroy, kill the Queen..." Its nihilist but its bursting with life. Plus of course dying young is the classic rock career move.Quote:
I have to agree that they suck. They are so... annoying and angry. The songs have no... life. They helped to ruin good music.
Lets knock the whole "they can't play their instruments" thing on the head too. True enough the pistols in particular were musically challenged. But listen to the record and tell me if it matters? That was part of the whole thing, taking music back to the people (man). Even the ones who could only play 3 chords.
(BTW fellow UK 30 somethings, you do realise than when we are in our sixties the pensioners tea dances in Eastbourne will be playing "London calling" and "Eton Rifles" rather than Glen Miller, and we will be smashing up the place with our zimmerframes? of course by then I will have no hair so I suppose I'll have to go skinhead.
I pity our kids though, when their time comes they will be mumbling along to Eminem. One of the weirdest things I ever saw was him headlining at Reading. Normally, the Reading headliners are hardcore rock bands like the Red Hot Chilli peppers or Metalica, and the crowd is a wild and frankly dangerous frenzy of moshing and bellowing along. This time everyone stood still and mumbled along to the words. 100,000 people mumbling in a field. What a load of RUBBISH.)
Anyway, back on topic, here's another all time terrible band: Genesis. Why, for the love of pete?
I would rather listen to the sex pistols( anarchy in the UK is one of the best songs ever imo) than a band like Pink Floyd and springsteen doesn't suck.
There's a relief. I might have inadvertantly watched it and thrown my shoe at the television in anger at the dribble on screen.Quote:
At this stage there are no plans to screen the ABC documentary in the UK.
