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.

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

I've had a nasty bit of the flu lately, with attendant expulsion of all bodily fluids from each and every orifice (and to think I got a flu shot just a couple months ago, damn CDC!).  And now today I have been feeling a bit better.  But to see AC/DC included in any Worst Band of All Time discussion is gonna perhaps push me back over the edge and it's all potentially gonna start again.  Please don't do this to me Big smile

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:

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.

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.

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


The Great Kat.
Great shred guitar if you enjoy it without being played with the melody, subtlety, restraint, taste, and phrasing that you can expect from Joe Satriani or Guthrie Govan.
Personally, I prefer my virtuoso instrumental guitar music played with good melody, subtlety, restraint, taste, and well thought out phrasing thanks, so I'll pass on the Great KatDead
The Great Kat is part of the reason why I don't listen to instrumental guitar as much anymore.
Speed for the sake of speed = epic fail.
One of the worst perhaps.

I see no one's mentioned that bane of the '70's Starland Vocal Band, anyone remember Afternoon Delight? Dead

Not actually bad but they managed to put out the second to worst selling album for Columbia, Music To Eat, The Hampton Grease Band.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

E-Dub, have you heard Face The Promise? (from '06 or '07).  Some really good songs on that one too.  Being an old (ex) Michigan Man myself, you couldn't turn around without running into Bob when I was growing up in the mid 70's.  He literally opened for everyone who came to the state (just a few from memory, Foghat, Angel, Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods (remember Billy Don't Be A Hero?), REO, Black Oak Arkansas, Ted Nugent).  Seger feels like family.

Barbie Girl is a great little slice of Europop.  The rest of that Aquarium album is pretty sucky though.

Oh yeah, I bought it when it came out. Actually a nice return from him. Still has that trademark smokey voice of his, but it's even more weathered now. Still sounds great, though.

The Distance just has a special place in my heart, though. Love that album.

Conor Fynes you sound like a relatively new member, as i would say prog-ravers (i coined that by the way, and you should use it too Clap)  are no more experienced in the way of music appreciation than any other demographic, in fact, when one listens to YES, Rush or any other "Dinosaur Spinal Tap" band and what they consider to be music, one has to question the reasoning abilities of some prog-ravers.  my distain for some of progs obsurd indulgences probably stems from the fact that when i picked up a guitar at 18, i formed a Punk/Alternative band immediately, however, my tastes and writing has evolved since then.  but i post this in some kind of pink because i mean this in a friendly way, friendly fire, now let's share some Listerine! Heart

Oh yes, I've got Afternoon Delight on a certain '70's compilation.  (Why do I have '70's compilations?  Call me compulsive.)  While Afternoon Delight is foul, the CD also includes the themes to Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley, so it's by no means the worst song on the album.  Said compilation also has the putrid Let Your Love Flow by The Bellamy Brothers and several other abominations.
 
So, if ya'll want to hear just how bad '70s music could be (as well as how good. in extremely rare instances (Hocus Pocus, anyone)), look no further than Rhino's Have A Nice Day set, all 25 CD's worth.

My own person nomination for worst band ever is The Boomtown Rats.  One great single, but the rest was utter fecal matter.
