I was wondering what you guys (being prog fans, you are by default more credible than the average music listener) thought the worst band/artist OF ALL TIME was. Not necessarily (and preferrably not) prog, but just of all the music you've listened to. The REALLY BAD stuff is sometimes ironically hilarious to listen to.
Heres my 'top 3'
3. Brokencyde (some scene-kid band, completely image based and totally superficial to the point of being ridiculous. they exemplify everything that is wrong with commercial, disposable music. I would recommend their masterpiece 'FreaXXX' to listen to, but you have to watch the video as well on youtube; thats where the humor is. It's honestly better than Suppers Ready, 2112, and A Change Of Seasons combined, no joke.
2. Anal C*nt (by their name alone, which i had to censor, you should get a good idea of what this band is about. It's best translated as grindcore noise with the most twisted hilarious lyrics of all time. It's essentially a 'concept band' as a protest against 'music' itself. listen to a few songs, they're usually on average about 20 seconds long. read the lyrics too! thats a must.
1. The White Mice (I cannot even begin to describe.. possibly, they are the most progressive, avant-garde band of all time; i really don't know. what they SOUND like to me though are probably some of the worst sounds ever combined on record. However, the white mice are notable for being the world's leading noisecore satanic mouse-themed band. a sure essential. check out their myspace!!!
