worst bands

[Purple Banana]

THANK YOU. I was about to say Nickelback.

When I was in the dorms my second year of college, we had a radio in the shower room, and no matter if I took a shower at 6am or 3am, I would ALWAYS hear that stupid song "Photograph."

The 'harmony,' if you can call it that, of the lead singer and who/what ever is providing the said 'harmony,' is SO ANNOYING.

Not a big fan of thrash metal moshy kind of stuff, nor mainstream rap/hip hop, but I think Fergie is one of the worst 'performers' ever.

Bandwise? I'mma have to say MCR.

lol i like nickelback....

but i understand why alot of people don't... but i've liked 'em for a long time now... the cd with leader of men on it, was their best... then they started to go more poppish and what not, and got softer.... i only like a few select songs off cds by them now...

mostly tho... it's cuz i listen to alot of heavy shit, and it's a nice break once in awhile.... specially when i feel like being sappy lol...

[Grinders Kiefers]

I can't believe nobody's mentioned Insane Clown Posse. Not to mention all of the "bands" signed to their label.

[MOBABN]

i dont think anyones ever made me want to slit my wrist more than Akon, i dont know what it is about his pussy ass whiny voice, but i would rather be dead than listen to any of his garbage.

I hate anything that people just jump on the band wagon for. Greenday would be a prime example of this. They had some good stuff way back when no1 knew them, then they release this new POS album that gets a lot of publicity, then everyone started being a greenday "fan". That's when I started to hate them and most music thats popular these days. so I switched to classic rock.

personally, i do like the Beatles. now I'm not just one of those fans that knows all the popular songs by them, I have all their songs in my music collection and like to listen to pretty much all of em. they have an amazing variety of sounds and influenced a lot of the ways music was made after them.

other crap bands off the top of my head: nickelback, FOB, simple plan, Panic! (used to like them), the new Blink 182 stuff (old school ftw)

[thcbongman]

Ah I remember a band that probably the absolute worst.

Poison.

Im not partial to rap, country or any of this new punk or emo shit.

[Duke Street Kings]

I don't get how anyone can dismiss an entire genre of music. To me, that just suggests that the person is aesthetically limited and possibly closed minded and shallow as well. It's not what people listen to that makes me dismissive, it's what they shut out.

The only genre I've been unable to find anything to like in is death metal and the related cookie monster gargling draino stuff.

But if you honestly dismiss all of jazz, rap, or country - the three most commonly "dismissed" genres - you haven't listened to enough, or you're just...shallow.

I'm sorry. I've tried to make allowances for this kind of thing, but there's just too much range of quality in any genre to dismiss it entirely. If you have never liked a piece of jazz, you're missing part of your soul. Most people have a genre preference, and that's normal, but to shut out whole genres of music is just...ignorant.

Sorry, I don't want to insult anyone, but the tendency of people to do this just disturbs me. I have to wonder if people hear music the way I hear it. I have to wonder why a lot of people even bother to listen to music.

The best of any genre is worth hearing. Even in the whole death metal area, I at least am open to the possibility that I haven't heard enough of it yet to dismiss all of it.

Mostly I gravitate to rock music. But I have been stunned - floored, by certain jazz albums (mostly in the post-bop period in the 50s and 60s), dragged out into the desert and rolled around a desert plain in a tumbleweed by a few country songs (Steve Earle? Johnny Cash?), and bobbed my head to good hip hop (If Eric B and Rakim's "Follow the Leader" doesn't do it for you, I don't even know what to say).

Open your ears, heart, and mind...wider. Question all of your aesthetic assumptions and predispositions...daily.

Billy Ray Cyrus (or however it's spelled) - I'd much rather drill holes in my head

Any emo shit, rap, hip-hop, easy listening shit, country
