Worst band ever?

[the_mikey]

Levitation, early 90's shoegazing band, simply the most tedious and sleepful gig I've ever had the misfortune to attend.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Tears for Fears. Not so much a band as two pairs of lace-up plimsolls, some floppy hair, and a reel-to-reel tape recorder.

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

Nirvana

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Sensational Alex Harvey Band, chronic unimaginable tosh, unlistenable to anyone with a decent set of lugs.

Smiths, give me a knife & I'll slit my wrists now

Alan...

I saw The Smiths at Coventry Poly back in Morrissey's gladioli waving days. They were supported by The Fall, who were utterly, hopelessly shoot, but still miles better than The Smiths. Everyone else at the gig, however, seemed to be having a transcendental experience. It was one of my first realisations that everybody else are idiots with no taste.

Shame, for shame on you sir.

I went a really nice trip today with friends here... but the one thing that almost ruined it was that for the first hour of the journey, my friend insisted on playing Rush. Now, I have never really paid much attention to the Canadian prog outfit before, but for ****'s sake, what an awful, horrible band from start to finish, the most pretentious songs that would be funny if they didn't seem to go on for ever, with interminable twiddly guitar parts, and countless drum solos, topped off by that evil screeching ninny of a singer. I honestly think that if I ever have to listen to more than a few seconds of this turgid, vile creation ever again, I will seriously have to take up harming small fluffy creatures, or machine-gunning passers-by just to make the noise in my head stop. Goddamn it, that was painful!

Now I have seen plenty of men of a certain age on this forum and elsewhere going on about Rush as if they were some kind of god-like figures but seriously, is there something wrong with your hearing or musical sensibility? Do you have a heightened tolerance for screaming cats and blackboards being scraped....? I mean that might work if it was somehow challenging or radical, but Rush are like the arse-end of prog, which is the arse-end of popular music anyway.

Now, I really don't want to hear any defence of Rush because there simply is none, but do tell us, anybody, what your vote for the worst band ever is and why. I don't mean overrated (we've done that one several times), I mean what band is really the worst thing you have heard. Give reasons and be as rude as you like, after all, bad music is offensive and deserves a good kicking.

only one of theirs I ever liked was Spirit of radio which I think is really quite good....why did you not just ask him to play something else.....simples

 

[Herbie]

Oasis, without a doubt. Sub-par northern pub rock with crappy Mancunian sneer thrown in for extra nausea. Well done, you're a worthless dole-chimp from a dead post-industrial town with no reason to exist anymore. Tell us about "yer mam".

Their music is so generic that it could have been written and performed by a slice of white bread. I could fart better tunes with a kazoo jammed up my arse. And I'm willing to prove it on live television.

bit harsh old chap

As Alan Partridge said... "Wings....the band the Beatles could have been"

 

[Chromatic]

Sensational Alex Harvey Band, chronic unimaginable tosh, unlistenable to anyone with a decent set of lugs.

Steady on there, any band that does a cover of Delilah as great as their's can't be that bad.

 

[nuttall1991]

If it's played on the radio, it isn't worth listening to.
