It's impossible for me to rank the worst bands, but I'll take the eagles and dmb at 1 and 2 all day.

We could go on all day on this.

I won't agree that these are the worst bands ever but if I had to put together a list of "popular" bands over the last 30 years that I really, really don't like......at least 15 of the bands on this list would make the list.

The Eagles are undoubtedly my least favorite band EVER.

And if they threw some nobody like Pretty Ricky in there then there is a massive slew of other guys just like him the list is skimping on.

well when you are sick of a song or in the case of the eagles all their songs and they keep beating it into you when you can't control what is being played, you begin to hate the band...

Any list that overlooks a pile of emo bands like the likes of Saves The Day or Hawthrone Heights has no credence.  How about The Bravery or that awful Vampire Weekend side/vanity project Discovery.  It's too awful to post a link to it but the Attack Attack! song is worst than anything DMB ever did...  Where is O.A.R. ?

It's basically a list of the most popular rock bands that the writer is aware of and probably what their ex-girlfriend listened too...

When I saw the title of this thread I thought "Rush".  I am glad they made the list as they should all worst band of all time lists. 

But Sex Pistols, Oasis, and Fleet Foxes?  And the Eagles stuff was good until joe walsh came along.  We should make our own lists.

1) Wilco
2) Rush
etc. etc.

I can understand someone listening to Wilco and going "meh".

But c'mon... listing them as THE worst band?... must be a reaction to either their critical or fan acclaim.

I never got the hatred for Jack White/Meg White/The White StripesAnything Jack White is connected to.

It seems like after MTV started playing "Fell In Love With A Girl" everyone hated them. Personally I think he's one of the best talents around. I love just about everything he's done [Not so mmuch The Dead Weather, good, but not really all for me] but, that's just my 2 cents.

Surely you could hear how Jack White or RHCP could inspire more of a love/hate reaction than Wilco?

I mean, my wife played wilco for her dad and his reaction was "Eh, they're not trying to blow anybody away, but they're pretty good."

Javk White and RHCP ARE trying to blow people away. And people are either going to love them or hate them for it.

Plus, the guys in Wilco are actually nice people, or so I've been told. You get the sense that JW and RHCP, are  well, maybe not as nice.

Tweedy a nice guy??? What about the stories as relates to Farrar? If we believe Farrar, Tweedy was putting the moves on his wife! Lets not even talk about the way the whole Jay Bennett thing was handled.


My impression is Tweedy must have one of the bigger egos going in music. He couldn't even get along with Billy Bragg and thats kind of hard to do! :)

And I can't recall all that well but vaguely seem to remember a Tweedy solo show at the 930 (late 90s/early 00s) where he was less than amiable with the audience...

There is far more evidence of Tweedy not being a nice guy than Jack White!

The reason your inlaw thinks Wilco is "pretty good" is why don't like them since Jay Bennett left.. all about virtuosity but no balls.

Oh, crap! I think I would kill myself if forced with that decision; although, I think, if push comes to shove, I'd probably have to agree with you.

One thing though, I would have to list The Eagles as The Eagles/The Doobie Brothers since they sound exactly the same to me and could never tell the difference between the two. Have always avoided both so I could never even remember who did which particular songs and never, ever want to know.

All the parrot heads alone are enough to push the Buffet thing way over the edge even without the crappy music.

@Hutch - Oh, man. You have my sympathy. Such dull taste for a college student. I'd have to break out some good old school punk or other hard noise drivers just to balance out the doldrums.

@Walkie - Sympathy to you too. Thankfully, not all Muslims are like that. So how did he react when you played your music? Did he try to force you to not play any around him or did he find ways to sway you to play stuff he'd like to rock out to without actually going full out playing it himself?

Dude, I'm glad your friend, you say, can "vouch" the other guys are nice.. I couldn't care less.. I doubt anyone cares whether the current Wilco hired hands are nice guys. You've seriously taken this thread way off topic. First with your purely speculative theory that the reason some don't like Jack White is because he is not a nice guy and now with this crap about the rest of Wilco being nice guys.


I have no idea why some people on this board don't like Jack White.. I'm guessing because they're "hipsters" and can't bring themselves to like anything that sells. Certainly thats the case with Azaghal who has a deep fear of any artist that can sell out something bigger than a living room. In any case, it matters not.

Jack White has made and continues to make great music. Heck he just produced Tom Jones! How much cooler than that can it get???  ;D   Is he a nice guy? I have  no idea but I seriously doubt his being nice or not nice has anything to do with hipsters not liking his music. In any case, I learned long ago to separate the person from the art. I've met musicians who are jerks and that doesn't stop me from liking the music, if its good of course.

It would be even cooler if Mavis Staples asked him to produce her.  ;D

Maybe people dislike Jack White because they prefer well crafted pop songs over guitar showboating, and prefer unintrusive singing over guys whose voice sounds like a dying cat.

That's my reason for putting him in the 20 worst, regardless of how many records he sells, ex-wives he accumulates, or indie dorks he beats up.

And for the record, I love Loretta Lynn and classic country and have more many years, but Van Lear Rose sucked imo.

Yeah, people don't listen to Rock N Roll for their ripping guitar solo's. Fuck all that shit! I think what Rock N Roll lacks these days is good fucking rock riffs and insane solo's. Seeing Jack White live multiple times has been a fucking experience because he owns guitar. Like seeing Josh Homme live, theyr improvisational skills are amazing, how Josh and Troy go back and forth and how Jack and Brendan go back and forth. It's truly awe striking. To me at least. I enjoy a SHOW when I pay 30$ to see a band. I don't want to pay 30$ to listen to a record be not so greatly reproduced while crammed in a room with 1200 people.

This is the dumbest thread of all time.

(there, i just made it dumber)

Why do people bite on such a lame attempt at exposure for a website?
Isn't the whole 'Worst band' even more irrelevant than ever?

With all the access and available technology for listening to music; other people's choice in music is really of no consequence to your personal taste. It's not like there are a couple of radio stations in your area and record labels distribution to brick & mortar stores to limit access.

I can't see much need for worst band lists and really negative opinions on bands/artists beyond personal or business agendas. Who cares if people like the Eagles or [insert 90's jam band]? If people enjoy it; good for them for being happy. Why nitpick the alleged character of Jeff Tweedy and Jack White? They're fucking musicians that put out music for people to enjoy. Don't like it? Why waste time on them? There are TONS of other bands and musicians out there that I'm sure have the upstanding character Tweedy and White are lacking in your view. When you find them, why not turn other people on to 'em?

Hey I agree with you. I don't have a problem with Tweedy cause nobody knows another man... James Ford however felt compelled to tell us that Jack White is a worse person than Jeff Tweedy .. it wasn't enough to come down on his music as Azaghal did (with the classic Fuck YOU JACK WHITE!)..

Moody Blues.. though... if I hear "Once upon a time" again at a store I'll go postal.  ;D

For the record, that's not what I said. This is:

Plus, the guys in Wilco are actually nice people, or so I've been told. You get the sense that JW and RHCP, are  well, maybe not as nice.

It all depends on how one defines worst.  I can dislike a particulars band's music and still think they are a good band.  bands such as Boston just have such a very low level of talent that you can like their music but still would have to agree that they are not very good band.  In their particular case the reason it took them 10 years between albums is that they are the same exact songs with different titles in a different order.  All consisting of the same 2-3 chords.  Must semi-talented 1st year music students could write and play their music.  In the case of Rush the no talent part of that band is the horrible keyboards.  I don't particularly like Gary Lee's singing voice but he does have talent as do most of the rest of the band, but they keyboards are so horrible it tosses anything the others do straight into the dumper.

Rush's synthesizer era (Signals, Grace Under Pressure) is their best shit.

You do know the only reason Axl is even in the band is that his mom made them let him in in exchange for allowing them to use her garage as a practice space...  My god that man voice is so horrible.  He has to be one of the worst vocalists ever in the history of recorded music.
