Worst bands of all times...

[Devastatin Dave]

I heard a good joke the other day...

What does a Grateful Dead (Dead Head) say after he leaves rehab?


Man, this music sucks!!!



Anyway that's my pick for worse band ever, what's yours?

[Gregoshi]

Can't tell you. I've tried to purge them from my mind.

[IrishMike]

Maroon 5, nuff said.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Of the most popular groups Id have to agree that the Dead are aptly named. Boring dosent even begin to describe them.

[sharrukin]

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

To be bad dont you actually have to perform and not just lip sync to someone else?

[Albino Gorilla]

Manowar- kind funny sometimes.
Crash Test Dummies-mmmmhhhmmmmmm

[Kagemusha]

Aqua, worst thing that have come from Denmark since Viking Raids.

[Kaiser of Arabia]

Abba.
GD bores me but Jerry Garcia was cool.


Oh other crappy bands

Prinze
That German band who did the song from GTA Vice City
Gwen Stefani
NSync
Backstreet Girls...er...boys.

[IliaDN]

Manowar- kind funny sometimes.
Crash Test Dummies-mmmmhhhmmmmmm

Well now it is my turn to be offended - Manowar is cool if you listen it riding bike and have a cool girl behind you.
As for me, I consider Rap music is not cool ( with some exceptions, of course ).

Well that's true.

What about Prince?

Prince (A.K.A The Artist Formerly Known As Prince, who is now apparently The Artist Formerly Known As The Artist Formerly Known As Prince) isn't a band, so I guess I can't pick him. What about Prince and the Revolution? Does that qualify?

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

BTW the Dead were great, especially when 'enhanced'

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.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

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...

Oh yeah

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.

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.

Rap -- not music? Then I can immediately discount all forms of electric music -- this includes synthesizers and of course that shit called dance/trance/hardcore whatever -- all forms of rock from the categories Nirvana/stoner rock to (modern) (heavy) metal, and anything all too poppy.

Rap is essentially poetry over a continuous beat (with peripheral sounds often added, such as a sample), which accounts for the not all too complicated lyrics at times. But it certainly takes skill. And since I expect you will not discount all of the above as being music, then hip hop cannot be discounted as being music either.

And Kenny -- come on! Funk/disco is great! Well, not as great as soul, but great nevertheless!

[Steppe Merc]

Well I like some funk. And the Bee Gees are interesting, but I can't say that I listen to it.
However, some great songs were inspired by disco, such as the Rollings Stone's Miss You, the Kinks Superman, and the Dead's Shakedown Street.

[Steppe Merc]

I'm offended by that joke, Dave, and you too Gawain.



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.
