I've never seen the big deal with AC/DC. Calling them the worst band of all time is a bit much, but it seems they've made a living playing the same song with slight variances for eons. Just my opinion, though.

For me, I'd have to put Marilyn Manson on this list. I just cannot stand anything he does. So glad his 15 minutes were up a long time ago.

Man, have to vehemently disagree with this one. I lump Seger in with Springsteen in terms of really being able to make that connection between artist and listener. His lyrics dealt with a lot of struggles that I was going through at the time. Just love the album The Distance.

A few I despise:
 
1. Family Force Five. Generic Christian crap.
2. Bring Me the Horizon. Generic talentless poser Deathcore crap.
3. The Jonas Brothers. Why, just why?
4. KISS. ...
Promotion so blatant that it's sad:

I cant describe my hatred for AC/DC! Music for cavemen, by cavemen. I hete them. The guitar tone sounds like a cheese grater put to steel wool, the vocals to a a drunken troll, and the other three members being the most useless, pointless, worthless, bunch of unskilled idiots in any band.
 
Hate


STFU n00b! AngryLOL
Their music might be simple, but that doesn't make it BAD! Approve

I always thought you remove Fred Durst and it's actually not bad.
Wes Borland is a surprisingly talented guitarist and you can hear that in some of their songs, but the vocals totally ruin their music and make it unlistenable really.


I'll agree without Fred Durst they could have been a decent band, but with him behind the wheel you're doomed to put out songs like Rollin

You guys got it all wrong It`s Australian 70s glam band SKYHOOKS  Their album Ego Is Not A Dirty Word has to be the worst album ever released ( except for Céline Dion`s complete catologue, but that goes without saying).Here are some titles that I can remember :

You Just Like Me Coz I`m Good In Bed
Why don`t You All Get F***ed
All My Friends Are Getting Married
Ego Is Not A Dirty Word

What a waste of guitars, amps and drums. These guys (?) make the Bay City Rollers sound like Led Zeppelin.

That Beethoven comment made me think you were about to link to something by the Great Kat.Wink

Pretty well done, this one! LOL
 
I like Coldplay, though -- especially the new one.

From my point of view, a lot of black metal bands (even the Great Ones) are just horrible: bad production; lousy musical skills; unability to write correctly built songs... But that's just an opinion and a taste.
I would also talk about the Shaggs, but they are somewhat charming in their "naïveté".
 
I just love The Shaggs....there is a point when it's getting nice again ... in terms of movies Zappa used the term cheepnis ....seeing the strings attached to the giant spider and everything: Slade, Kiss, Spinal Tap great stuff..... the music I really don't like is soulless producer music that you can here in a lifestyle bar not even muzac or elevator muisc which can be nice too....but some substandard jazz singer from hell with a big record contract, because every label wants to sign a nice looking jazz singer who pleases the whole family,.....Dead

The real worst bands of all time are garage bands that never got as far as getting a record deal with anyone because there is no audience outside the band that it could possibly be marketed to. You've most likely never heard about them, and if you've heard them you've deliberately forgotten about them because they were too bad to even leave a lasting impression on you.
 
However, some can be so bad that for one record only, they are good, e.g. Randy Avey (?) and The Green Fuz  on Here Comes The Green Fuz (found on one of those Pebbles collections of 60's garage band recordings.
 
One of the great grating compilations was Kenny Everett's Worse Records Ever (or some such title) a mix of bad C'n'W and badder early British pop singles. One British artist even went back into the recording studio to re-record two tunes for the legendary Kenny, since Decca Records won't give permission for the originals' use - as a clue, the singer had a hit in the UK with Venus In Blues Jeans. One American C'n'W  song had each verse devoted macabrely to the death of one of the male singer's family  - with each death getting more outrageous than the one before. Fun, I don't think and indeed the way it was sung was akin to fingernails scrapped down a blackboard - three verses I think was the limit before the pain really kicked in.


Yeah, but notice that those aren't the kind of band I was talking about... in all cases, they were at least good enough for someone to want to publish their music. Wink
