Someone please kill this thread, it's almost as bad as a "who do you hate more" poll, which now will probably come into existence

Well we can atleast agree that forexample Ricky martin is a terrible artist? I hope that are not many at this forum that disagree  |
Ricky Martin is not a terrible artist. He's just not an artist, period.
And my least favorite is probably either The Mars Volta or Asia.

Dream Theater and The Mars Volta. I can't stand either of these bands in the least.

I won't name any unknown band as hundreds I may be able to find which are terrible, for sure. This may irritate some people though. I had always thought Le orme and Eloy were good, or great bands. Until I really had a chance to listen to them in full. What a disgrace. I couldn't find a single space of music from their very best regarded albums that doesn't sound cheese and artificial. This is the classical example of prog for the sake of being prog. So impersonal, so boring, dull and "intentional".
These are in my mind the worst bands in prog. Among the popular ones.

Hey, don't mess with Rocky, LOL. I guess is hard to say who's the worst prog band ever, but here in PA the worst is Lacrimosa.

I think calling a band “bad” is unfair. You may call Collins-era Genesis bad but in the end it’s an occupation. Musicians have to make a living some way, should we really condemn them for that?

Steve Wilson has actualy come to prog archives told us that he was very wrong in making that comment about the Flower Kings, and that he aplogized to the band shortly after he made the comment.
As for "Porcupine Tree is the biggest load of sh*t I've ever heard" well that's just an opinion (a bad one, but still an opinion). The "but all PT has ever done is just mixing Floyd's "Interstellar Overdrive", "Saucerful of secrets" and "On the run", and upgrading it for the 21st century. ABSOLUTE RUBBISH" is completly off the mark though. PT does borrow some sounds from PF (something never comes from nothing), but they have achived their own sound that many bands are now following.
Porcupine Tree is amazing.

Why is Asia the most desastrous prog-rock band?  Enlighten me with a logical explanation.

KING CRIMSON POST 1973 ARE THE WORST BAND EVER |
Serious? you musn't have heard "Red" yet....
and this is in case you really don't like the way KC took in the '80's (still prog enough than most of the '80's crap) and the "heavier" but no less prog approach of post '90's...
I insist Asia being the worst prog band ever (doubt it's progness anyway),
and Radiohead is not prog!!...
(sorry, not heard of Mars Volta and Nightwish yet...)

Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)
