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. Wink
 
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. Tongue
 
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!!!

Brokencyde is a good contender for one the worst.
Their music literally made me feel physically sick listening to it.

It's a tie between Leona Lewis and Weezer. Their music makes me physically angry whenever I hear it.

Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers. Both are filled with more cliches than an average prog-metal band.

Does it have to be a real band?  If not, well The Archies and about 100 other bands of their ilk are obvious punching bags.

I don't think Miley counts, and I have had to listen to her song many times at work, and she is really no worse than any other pop star. People only attack her because she's part of the Disney machine.
 
Nickelback and Hoobastank. There is nothing redeeming about post-grunge and pop-punk.
if you own a sodastream i hate you

One night in NYC, 1973, Robert Plant declared the worst band in the world to be Slade.

^^ Now I know why I never liked Robert Plant.  Slade were more fun than a barrel of monkeys back in the day while Zep was godawful boring and over promoted.  Slade might not exactly stand the test of time though.

I'll tie my vote between Tony Orlando & Dawn and The Captain & Tenille (Muskrat Love anyone?).

Looks like we're shooting fish in a barrel.  I'd forgotten about those two.   Tie a Yellow Ribbon around Tony Orlando's neck, but only to the point where he is unable to sing or front a band, since I generally wish no specific bodily harm to anyone.  Well, maybe in his case we get Tonya Harding's dude to hammer the knees, so he can't actually appear on stage.  Back in the day I always found Toni Tenille somewhat attractive (Confused (college-boy hormones is my only defense, sorry)), so at least they were worth watching at the time.  Captain needed to be tossed overboard.   
 
C'mon feel the noize.  Don't even ask about Slade.

I watched the video to that FreaXXX song and was wondering if they were actually trying to be serious.

the goddamn Troggs
worst band ever

but honestly, I really hate a great deal of music: punk and pop-punk inc. what we are currently meant to call emo, screamo and more distantly hardcore and metalcore, trance, hip hop and rap (especially the brand coming out of the UK with the terrible rhymes which is supposedly being "smarter"), a lot of early jazz, all singer-songwriter stuff, rock'n'roll, hard rock and power metal, twee pop and indie in general allowing for a few talented/inspired bands, brit-pop, post-rock, neo-progressive awfulness, electrohouse with too much stuff going on/"bloghouse", chiprave, the blues and especially boring old laptop noise.

music i'm meant to think trashy - like breakcore, industrial and 80s pop - currently appeals to me more than any band backed by the alleged discerning. ;P

tl;dr = I want Will Smith back in the charts and to have never heard of MGMT
