Worst bands of all times...

[PanzerJaeger]

Let's see how all you rock fans feel about this article link

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..

Second, they paved the way for the marriage between music and drugs which to this day has ruined rock 'n' roll.

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.

Also, he says in the opening that he will give real reasons for why the bands are bad - but he doesnt..

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.

The 80s ruined rock and roll in my opinion.

[Steppe Merc]

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).

[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.

[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.

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

Pot and LSD helped a lot of listeners too.

-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.

Some thoughts are best left thoughts and should never see the light of day.

If the next person could refrain from empathizing with James Earl Ray or Lee Harvey Oswald, we would all appreciate it.

Back to the music!

[Steppe Merc]

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...

I have to agree that they suck. They are so... annoying and angry. The songs have no... life. They helped to ruin good music.

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)

I hate KISS. They don't care about music, just money. And they wear make up...

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

Please. There is no guitar in rap, no piano, no drums, no harmonica. No music.

Beirut....for future reference....if you ever read a post of mine on these boards that can be reasonably interpreted as a joke....you can go ahead and make that assumption 99.9% of the time.....this one is no exception


also....comparing the assassinations of 2 of the greatest men of the 20th century with the assassination of a brit with lame haircut that wrote some music of debatable taste(it´s pointless to debate it) and had a veeeeery anoying girlfriend is hardly fair on the first 2...

I apologize if it was misinterpreted, but even as a joke, it was a very poor one.

As to my analogy, I will leave that to the individual to contemplate.

Back to the 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.

[Azi Tohak]

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.

[Al Khalifah]

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.

[Beirut]

My word but there is a lot of hostility here.

I thought this was a music thread.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Maybe your just to young to appreciate great music

but I can't stand their music (sound almost out of tune...almost) and the people just piss me off.

Wow you must hate Jazz then. Of course though Jazz musicians suck dont they.

[Azi Tohak]

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!
