Your nomination for the crappest heavy metal or rock band ever

[Accy cyclist]

I quite like Kid Rock. Not all the time, not sure I could have him on the pod for a whole car journey, but now and again, I think that he's quite fun.

Ooops, i thought Kid Rock was the band's name not the singer's.

Imagine calling your child Kid Rock, what a stupid feckin' name!

Yes. And some of it is very disappointing.

I tried to like it, honest, but other than Atom Heart Mother, anything before Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You were here is just "difficult" as far as I am concerned, I simply don't get it. Their style changed and evolved, with some truly remarkable stuff along the way, and it shaped my taste in music permanently. Gilmour's guitar playing simply pushes all my buttons, and his musicality is what does it for me. I'm too young (!) to be into 60s psychedelia; my listening to music began with Bowie and Floyd in the 70s. Tell you what, I'll go and listen to A Saucerful of Secrets and have another go.

Just on the subject of excellent tribute band names, my favourite ever has to be the Geordie Cradle of Filth tribute band, Cot o' Shite.

The answer BTW, is Rush.

"now, before I splash this water on the little bugger's head Mr and Mrs Cyclist, are you sure about the name Accy?"

Accy is short for Aktar i'll have you know.

Can I add Poison into the mix. One of the worst "hair metal" bands from the eighties.

Jeez, that thread has a lot of posters who used to be regular contributors but who haven't been seen here for a while.

 

[NorthernDave]

I take it that the absence of U2 in this thread is because it's too obvious?

You still haven't found what you're looking for?

A great thread that

Status Quo - utter, utter tripe!!!

Now i don't mind Status Quo. Caroline, Break The Rules and Roll Over Lay Down with Alan Lancaster and John Coghlan are great tunes. They went downhill when both left the band.

I have to say that there are some class posts in there. The Oasis one is just brilliant - and I like Oasis very much!

Sex Pistols, had trouble playing an instrument and just shouted.

Complete and utter nonsense, they made some great rock and roll music, still sounds good today.

That Unsensational Alex Harvey Band stuff is hopeless, awful grating rubbish.
