The Worst Bands In History

[The Man Shake]

Rollin' and Nookie were good songs as well.

I've always liked Boiler personally.

 

[gUt]

Presumably by worst we mean, most overrated or least deserving of their success?

In that case I'd like to nominate the rolling stones. Due allowance for their longevity and their live shows are apparently great. And I do love Keith Richards. But even with their ridiculous hippie/flower-power period overlooked how is it they are considered in the same bracket as the likes of the Beatles and Led Zep as creative giants of the genre? Like, their best songs are genuinely great but for every one of those there are approximately 20 utterly forgettable album tracks. Can't say that about LZ and the beatles.

Also nominating Oasis.

 

[The Lounge Lizard]

I got old and don't know of any good new emerging rock bands anymore.

Because there isn't any. Further to what you said, those manufactured "artists" are the results of shows such as the Voice and Idol.

Foo Fighters get way too much hype

The Black Keys - another band that are just ok

Radiohead of course

those smug wankers Powderfinger

Powderfinger were just ok but Bernard Fanning was absolute crud.

 

[Apey]

That band I don't like.

+1 for Rolling Stones as overrated.

Personal overrated/irrational dislike for: Muse. Always struck me as a wannabe band of the bands before them.

 

[The Lounge Lizard]

Also nominating Oasis.

Yes!!

 

[Chippy73]

Why do death metal bands sound all the same?

Because your ears are uneducated to it at this stage...if you have an interest and persist, the depth, variation and nuance within the genre will start to make sense.

If you hate all extreme music and always have, then yeh don't bother, it's not for you.

Sort of agree with you except for Radiohead....who I love....the Beatles of the 21st Century IMO.

Strange cos apart from Radiohead I only really listen to different genres of heavy music, mostly metal.... though Radiohead can make a good angry song too when they feel like it.

 

[Smug Panther]

INXS are particularly woeful

Uneducated ears? Umm....

Some of my favourite bands include Sepultura, Pantera, Soulfly, Ministry and NIN. No soft shit there. But then again I also like the Andrew Sisters.

Just not keen on music where the "vocalist" sounds like he's got throat full of broken glass and the drummer just sounds like he's trying to set the land speed record with a beat that never changes.

If you like Sepultura, particularly the Morbid Visions to Arise era, there would be heaps of DM you would like.

I also forgot to mention atmosphere for a reason Death Metal appeals.... the dark other worldly imagery, I've always been fascinated by the paranormal, horror movies and books, not slasher shit...I mean like "The VVitch" (2015 movie) type darkness.

I guess what I'm trying to explain is exemplified in these classics of Death Metal;

[Generalzod]

U2

No way…

 

[Generalzod]

Put Limp Biskit on the list. U2 and Limp Biskit thought they were going to change the course of world music.

What a pair of jokes.

U2 did Joshua tree one of the best albums of all time, and they better it with Achtung baby.

 

[Generalzod]

That band I don't like.

Actually I prefer the Rolling Stones over the Beatles, I reckon then Beatles are so overrated.

 

[Generalzod]

Spandau Ballet and phill Collins

Ok Computer was a good album but I think critics and the internets go a bit overboard with their praise.

 

[The Lounge Lizard]

If it

Spandau Ballet and phill Collins

If it wasn't for Peter Gabriel, Genesis would be on my list.

 

[The Lounge Lizard]

Spandau Ballet

Their first album was quite good. After that just wimpy shit.

Paths to Glory I think it was called.

 

[The Lounge Lizard]

U2 did Joshua tree one of the best albums of all time, and they better it with Achtung baby.

Their first three albums were very good. After that, not for me thank you.
