Worst Band Of All Time?

Brokencyde's creations (I refuse to call it music- that infers a vaguely listenable sound) will always stick out as being among the worst sounds I have ever heard. I couldn't listen to them for more than a few straight seconds because it just sounded so horrible. I don't want to ever have to hear them again.

Any reggaeton band... it isn't music it's only people saying obscenities to the rhythm of a 4/4 metronome-like bass... I live in Venezuela and it is just EVERYWHERE in the radio, in the streets, in my nightmares, in my bathroom, AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! (I am starting to think that the Jonas Brothers aren't that bad after all )

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!!!

Regarding the Satanic mouse themed-band, things can get very scary when your camping in the woods and a sing-song chant is traveling through the breeze which later turns into the pounding of barrels sounding quite like the kettle drums on Ben Hur.

I agree with the last two posts.

AC/DC is unbearably boring, and you don't have to listen to New Age to think that! I wouldn't call them the worst band of all time, but they are almost certainly the worst CLASSIC RAWK that is still cluttering up the airwaves.

No, Offspring was a fine band until "Ixnay on, Hombre" where they began to write as if they were on "full automatic riff'o-ton".

Slipknot: not bad per se (in the world of Metal, I heard worse), but I have the feeling they are nothing but a "composite" band, taking elements from various styles and gaining a dubious success due to their ability to mash-up both mainstream rock and extreme metal.

Nirvana : maybe no more than a "honest" guitarist, but a good song writer. If you can remember AND like a song by a band that you haven't heard in years, it must signify something...

By the way, who are the young suicidal maniacs claiming that AC/DC is a terrible band? Even if I don't enjoy AC/DC as much as I could do when I was a teenager, I can't let you write such things! I can't even find rational counter-ideas, but just say: "If you don't like AC/DC, stop listening rock music. Any kind of rock music. Come here, near the "new age" section..."

It's interesting to see that a lot of people seem to shoot at east targets, best-sellers or sacred cows, without developing a rational speech. I would tend to dismiss the whole "black-metal" genre, but I would do it explaining why: the low technical level, the horrible production, the unability to compose songs in a correct way, etc.
Yet, I keep in mind that some black-metal bands have high musical abilities and can write enjoyable tunes. Sometimes, Marduk makes me think of Nile, and Cradle of Filth have strong riffs and songs.
Even Rap and Hip-Hop should be listened with an impartial ear: I just watched "Ghost Dog" tonight and the soundtrack is pretty interesting and I would gladly take it in a shop and play it at home.

ELP by a considerable way. Utterly worthless.

Oh,

Nickelback for sure.
