Re: Worst bands of all times...
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.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?
