Worst Band Ever?

[palahniukkubrick]

Thoughts?
 
 I say Grateful Dead or Gwar, even though there are things I like about both.

I dunno, Pickup.  Gwar is a goofy band and they know it.  I don't think the band or their fans would even care about this title, as they don't take themselves that seriously.  I do think the Dead are dreadful though.
 
 Oh and my vote would probably go to Creed.  Or if I needed someone who made a bigger impact, the Doors.

no way are the doors or the dead even close to worst band status. while the dead pretty much sucked after the mid-'70s, some of their songs -- and jams -- from 1966-1972 are great. and despite jim morrison's pretentiousness and one pretty lousy record (the soft parade), the doors wrote some damn good psych and pop songs.
 
 creed is definitely a contender. i would also throw in limp bizkit, insane clown posse, and nickelback.

good charlotte & simple plan

id say the top five worst bands of all time are;  led zepplin, rush, linkin park, creed and bon jovi.
 
 they are all a triumph of mediocrity and proof the masses will accept the most bland mass produced tripe as long as its popular. of course rush "trys" to be different, but its calculated and panders to wannabee musicians who are impressed by simple things like off beat rythyms and the number of notes played in a minute. its musical masterbation.

Where do I begin? Here's five:
 
 White Stripes
 Mountain Goats
 Smashing Pumpkins
 Bright Eyes
 Snow Patrol

The fact that you even put Rush or Zeppelin in your top 5 worst bands of all-time makes me SERIOUSLY question your knowledge of music and your overall grip on reality/sanity level.  I'm not even a fan of Rush honestly, but Neil Peart is one of the greatest drummers ever.  As far as Zeppelin, it's one thing to say you don't like them/not your cup of tea.  Fine.  But for you to dismiss their catalog like that . . . .    :eek:  
 
 If you said that in a room full of serious music fans/experts, they'd laugh you the fuck outta the room.
 
 
 With that being said, Creed is MOST DEF a/the front-runner.  Fall Out Boy gets honorable mention as well. I'll run with Bizou311's vote & double up on Simple Plan.  They unequivocally suck goat ass.  
 
 P.S. There's WAAAAY worse bands than Bon Jovi out there.

I would question YOUR knowledge of music if you're quoting that cliched "Neil Peart is one of the greatest drummers of all time" lines. But that's just my opinion. What exactly makes him a great drummer? Did he win a drum solo contest at the arena rock championships?    :p

"Ever" is a very big gap of time.......that is many,many years of pure SHIT to crawl thru to find the "worst"....that being said I gotta mention "Jackyl"....that's Jackyl with a Y !.......

[punkfokinrock]

The Doors were the Creed and Nickleback of their time.  Possibly the most overblown, cheesy-ass "spiritual"-based crap the pop-rock world has ever produced, all put out by a fat-ass, drug-guzzling retard who's lyrics remind of of the poetry that 15-year old goth kids scribble on their high school notebooks.

i do'nt know if i'd put the doors as one of the top 5 worst bands ever, but they are definitely incredibly overrated.

[IMAmoose24]

The Doors, Led, and Rush should never have been mentioned in this list. (Especially Led and Rush).
 
 I love Snow Patrol and Bright Eyes, but there is way more of a possibility that they would show up on my worst of list before Led or Rush.
