Worst Bands Ever

I was going to do a top 3 list but all i can think of is 'Jet'



  • I think it's Nickelback.

  • thee unstrung

  • fountains of wayne.

    • of present day...

      The Ting Tings

    • no, no and thrice no

      you are wrong. Mexican Wine is a belter of a song. Don't hate them because they're better than you.

  • Probably some tiny band who have like 1 friend on myspace and play gigs at school assemblies.

    Also:

    Sun O)))
    Trash Fashion
    Partyshank
    Nickelback

    • bowling for soup

    • Sunn O)))?

      what. the. fuck.

      • if someone says 'its just noise'

        they are 100% right.

        it is literally just noise.

        • yeah, exactly.

          but worst band ever? very, very silly indeed...

      • its just noise.

        Plus they charge ridiculous prices for the noise.

    • Sunn 0 ))) rule

      some people have no taste

  • CREED

    Maroon 5
    The Rasmus

    Rubbish.

  • Evanescence

    • The Stone Roses

      Primal Scream
      The La's
      Kings of Leon

  • Cast

    done and done.

  • Mindless Self Indulgence

    AARRRRG.

    • ....

      you stupid motherfucker..

      • I can't wait for you to shut me up

        ;)

        GOD I HATE THEM.

        • mwahaah

          I've actually not heard much of their work.

  • The Fratellis

    Purely on last night's footage of them at Glastonbury singing something about Mabel and tables and fables and cradles. Poor, really poor.

    • THE FRAY

      HIM
      THE CALLING

      • urrgh

        the fray! i'd forgotten about them, my friend loved them, i think she listened to 'how to save a life' about 10 times a day for six months. we dont speak anymore.

  • Battle.

  • elliot minor

  • dinosaur jr

    tuneless dirge scenester shite.

    • Hm yeah

      i'd never heard them till I saw them live but I was expecting "Oh yeah really good fuzzy guitars and stuff" but it was just like "oh, is this it?" and sounded like bad 80s rock.

      • Muse

        , The Ting-Tings are a whole new breed of shit.

      • Ladytron

        The singer is very molestable though.

        • pennywise

          what was that other one..oh yeah..coldplay..yuk

      • RE : that dinosaur jr comment

        I'm going to save this thread URL and re-post it in three years to embarrass you.

        Bad 80's rock. What the hell?

    • :|

    • Get out.

      You fool.

  • The Foals

    My Passion
    Dear Superstar

    • ^ My Passion

      Puddle of Mudd
      Violent Delight (anyone remember them?)

      • Yeah I remember them

        They used to base all their advertising around the fact that their initials were "VD"

        ie: Catch VD on tour this Summer

        etc

  • lets see.......

    The Calling
    Nickelback
    The Hoosiers
    Creed
    One Night Only
    The Automatic
    Boy Kill Boy
    Orson
    Keane
    Puddle of Mudd
    Joe Lean

    an honourable mention also goes to A....

    gimmie some loveeeeeeee
    gimmie some skinnnnnnnnnnnn

    • Absolutely A.

      Scouting For Girls and the Fray make me the most sad.

    • Great list!

      One Night Only, in particular, make me physically sick.

  • apart from the obvious (Nickleback)...

    I'd have to say Last Shadow Puppets. They make me want to lick an electricity pylon.

    • its been mention before but...

      I need to reiterate how bad Scouting For Girls are.

    • my god

      LSP are so shit, but not as much as BSP

    • I just think Alex Turner is a dullard

      Why is he being put on a pedestal?

  • Status Quo

    if for nothing else than to nip 'dad dancing' in the bud. Honourable mention for Nickleback too.

    • belle and sebastian

      .

      • anyone who sings in an american accent excluding the following

        modest mouse
        bright eyes
        make model
        okkervil river.

        and by an american accent i mean a ridiculously exaggerated one.

        • example?

          • greenday

            bowling for soup
            30 seconds to mars
            etc.

        • So all those AMERICAN

          bands with AMERICAN accents annoy you, but Make Model, from GLASGOW putting on an American accent is ok for you?

          With the amount of love for Twilight Sad and Frightened Rabbit round here I thought Scottish bands singing in anything other than Scottish accents was heresy?

      • is this a joke?

      • wrong

        very wrong

  • Divine Comedy

    Primal Scream
    The Libertines
    U2
    If you're going to name&shame,you may as well go all out. The Kooktelliscoutinviewmusichoosier etc are not worth listing,every fool knows they're shite.

    • I forgot . . .

      The Magic Numbers.

      • ^ they are all good

        except primal scream

        • just my

          opinion, innit. I'd also add No Doubt to that list too but they are no more I think. That cod-punkskarock makes my skin crawl.

    • you are a king size bellend

      The Divine Comedy are geniuses (well, one genius and some randoms).

      Fair point on U2 though

      • And you

        are a rotting pair of maggot riddled beef curtains who admits within the same sentence that the Divine Comedy are mainly comprised of randoms within the very same sentence you seek to defend them. You mistakenly typed genius rather than streak of piss, btw.

        But yeah, that U2 eh? Rubbish.

        • now now ladies...

          divine comedy are great. top class stage banter when i saw them at connect last year too!

          • Personally,

            can't stand them - the music, the lyrics, the twee witticisms and whimsy. Really, really dislike them and Neil Hannon in particular.

            • but without him..

              who would have written the music to Father Ted and/or Tomorrow's World? Him out of Kula Shaker (*shudders*)?

  • Enter Shikari

    /Bring Me The Horizon/iwrestledabearonce

    • if we're talking about overrated bands

      then- the smiths
      joy division
      primal scream

      • You call those bands overrated

        yet rate The Libertines a 10? Baffling.

        Overrated is such an overrated word anyway.

        • In reply to Shrewbie

          i have to say I am astonished you rate The Libertines above Joy Division and The Smiths. I guarantee you haven't heard either band properly otherwise you wouldnt rate the Libertines above them. Come back when you can make some sensible claims.

        • well

          the libertines had a big effect on me personally.
          I like the smiths i just don't think they are as good as everyone says

          • have another listen

            I'd say The Smiths are even better than everyone says.

  • it's so good to see

    primal scream getting so many mentions

    fratellis
    red hot chili peppers
    cast
    ocean colour scene
    pearl jam
    kasabian

    • I'll second

      Kasabian. Fuck it, Oasis too. Used to cut it, now just flabby,bloated bilge.

      • teh beatles

        sorry..but did you just bypass captain beefheart??OH . NO.

  • Since being a promoter

    I've started to utterly despise bands in the vein of...

    Esser
    The Displacements
    Ox.Eagle.Lion.Man
    Trash Fashion
    A Silent Film
    The Ivy Sins

    ...especially The Displacements, terrible band and the worst fans in the world

  • Sonic Youth.

    KIDDING.
    ...
    Scouting for Girls. It's just an embarrassment that they've come as far as they have. I don't really believe there's such a thing as objectively bad music, but if there is, "She's So Lovely" would be it. Freaking hell.

    • omg

      You're all fucking idiots, seriously. Quite a few of the bands mentioned have defined eras, you complete and utter morons. You'd be best killing yourself now if you think The Smiths, Joy Division, Primal Scream, Oasis etc are the worst band in the world. Sat in your room with your shit new music that you think is the best thing ever, there is no place for you on this planet.

      This forum gives too many jaded fools a voice and it's rather annoying.

      Anyway, I vote for The Towers Of London.

      Good day to you all.

      • Oasis are

        a bit shit though.

      • good user name.

        but I genuinely do think Oasis are dreadful, although it is not merely their lumpen pub rock that makes me hate them so much, but a combination of other features, including Noel Gallagher, many of their fans, Noel Gallagher, and the bizarre provenance of the untruth that they defined an era.

        Granted, however, they are not as bad as The Kooks, or Enya, for that matter.

        • THE VIEW!!!!!!!

          It'a like a high school band that got very Lucky

      • I will bow to the glory

        of The Smiths and Joy Division but I am sorry you are so very, very wrong on Primal Scream and Oasis. They are both trite, hollow, cut and paste bands of the lowest order. Play Ceremony then play say, Cigarettes and Alcohol (I am being very generous here - it could so easily be Roll With It) then tell me do you really put them in the same bracket. If you say yes you are lying and you know it.

      • primal scream and oasis

        are really really bad. then again i do think music has gotten better with time so what do i know

      • +1

        for towers of london. so cringeworthy

      • :O but you like patrick wolf and arctic monkeys

        anyway just because you like different music to other fucking people doesnt mean they are fools or morons. Everyone on this forum listens to music that is different to the mainstream, geddit?! So for you to slag people on here off means that you are also hating more than 90% of the fucking world you small minded cunt.

  • counting crows

  • Good Charlotte get my vote

    A truly shocking band and a disgrace to music!

    Other contenders-

    Staind
    Adema
    Linkin Park (so obvious but so bad)
    Papa Roach

    • five great bands

      you where never a teenager
      suck my dick

    • what titan_grip said

  • ONE NIGHT ONLY.

    JOE LEAN AND THE JING JANG JONG.
    SCOUTING FOR GIRLS.
    ONE NIGHT ONLY.
