 Topic: Worst Band Of All Time?Posted: December 24 2009 at 02:52 |

insane clown posse, how in the hell anyone thinks they have a shred of talent is beyond me, oh and nickleback, I'd rather listen to metallica's st.anger or black album over nickleback or insane clown posse any day, and I hate those albums with a passion, and when i say hate I mean it, after all i love old school metallica.

It appears that the sickness has spread to Europe. They played at the Isle of Wight. |

Actually, I'm surprised there aren't more votes for avante-garde jazz or rock......most of the responses have been for boy bands, coroporate rock bands and such. Like I said, they simply can't help it - they get stacks of cash for playing what teams of researchers believe will sell. They're just the mouth pieces of something much bigger, so if you wan't to nominate the Jonas Brothers, well, then you're going to have to condemn the whole of mainstream pop culture.....and that's just too easy, a non-challenge. The topic has relevance only if you speak of MUSIC that really annoys you, not a cultural trend that annoys you.
I was going to nominate Anima as the worst band ever, but at least they didn't shower us with "meaningful" conch shell solos and "truth incarnate" from various woodwinds. AEoC was pretentious on top of being overbearingly noisy!

I completely agree. I have a severe dislike of every mainstream rock band since, and including, Nirvana (with the exception of Alice in Chains... I don't really know why I like them, but I do). I would choose those exact bands as representatives as well. We all know Nickelback sucks, and Hoobastank's The Reason is up there for worst song of the last 10 years. Post-grunge and pop-punk are just complete crap. Edited by Kestrel - December 22 2009 at 16:29 |

^ UB40 is tempting if it wasn't for their 1st Signing Off. Nearly went for Coldplay ???
 But...........

Actually, I was mistaken, I had seen a Youtube video of Peter Brotzmann with the Art Ensemble, but it seems they never recorded an album together. I understand other people not liking it, but don't say it's the worst. :P

If I'm not mistaken I think we have a member here who was in that band - can't recall who though. I was going to say he 'claims' to have been in the band, but why would anyone lie about that? |

No insult to Brotzman intended.....those squawks must mean something to someone!
I've tried it man......Spiritual Unity, Machine Gun, Ascension/Om - all the honking classics. Impassioned stuff, no doubt, but soooo tough to sit thru. Still, without question, this is soul music laid bare. I may not like the stuff, but Ornette and Ayler made no concessions....the music was spontaneous and ultra-energized....almost exhausting to listen to.
I've never heard an AEoC album with Brotzman......AEoC had that whole world fusion kettle they'd filter everything thru - great idea in theory but, man, to me it was just clunks, clanks and gongs and intermittant squeals and squonks.

Oh my...It's even worse than that Smashmouth song it sounds like.
The only Art Ensemble of Chicago album I have has very poor recording quality (or MP3 quality), so I haven't heard the whole thing, but I won't let you insult Peter Brotzmann like that!

Heavy title - WORST band of all time. Also very subjective....I'd have to exclude the shiny manufactured boy bands, primped up corporate divas, image-over-sound rock, etc. - they really can't help the way they are - they're patsies. So, this would basically eliminate a chunk of Backstreet Brittanies and Creeds, Motley Crues, Monkees, and Bostons. This leaves those bands whose artistic leanings bend toward those specific somethings that drive me nuts. So, I guess I'd have to say - the Art Ensemble of Chicago. Just can't get into the pull-the-elephant's-tail honking and conch shell solos. GIve me Yusef Lateef anyday. That said, the AEoC is far more dynamic and full of ideas than your average run up the FM dial. |

has anyone heard of the band Down With Webster? Gene Simmons thinks they are the next big rock band... I say; you should think for yourself and listen. =)
