Worst Song Of The Year So Far?

[Guest Zack Malibu]

Evanescence is NOT nu-metal. Paul McCoy (the guy who does the "rap" verses in Bring Me To Life) is only a guest on that song. That's the only song with any type of "nu metal" sound in it.

[Guest Scalded Dog]

All American Rejcts actually know how to play their instruments and write good music...They just refuse to.

[Guest Michael Joel Benoit]

Man, these last two years have seemingly had more crap than any two before it.

 

Puddle of Mudd, Saliva, and Nelly are spearheading the wave of suck, though.

Well, you gotta remember that from 1998-2001, mainstream music was filled with boyband crap and Britney and Christina, so I think we are better off now than we were back in 2000. Sure, now we got to deal with a thousand and one pop-punk bands and crappy rappers such as Nelly, Ja Rule, and 50 Cent, but still, I rather have 1,000,000 pop-punk bands than 1,000,000 boybands.

 

Oh, and 50 Cent should be added in that wave of suck list.

[Guest Random Hero]

Who the fuck is Paul McCoy anyway? I mean I can understand a guest vocalist if he adds something to the song, or he was a big name or something, but he does/is neither. They could easily just have had the guitarist do McCoy's parts. It's not as though theres any lengthy singing, just the odd 'I'VE BEEN LIVIN' A LIE~!' here and there. Plus on Top of the Pops, the guitarist was more than capable doing McCoy's parts, and actaully managed to not sound like a twat when doing it.

To be honest when I first heard "Bring Me To Life" I thought it was Delerium (featuring <insert female singer here>). Seriously. It reminded me of "Silence", but with more guitar.

At least Britney has an upside, in that she's nice to look at (sometimes) which is more than can be said for Wes MudD, and Saliva man(don't know his name).

Paul McCoy was probably added to make the track more "hit radio friendly", kind of like, say, how they added Nelly to N'Sync's "Girlfriend" (which this board would consider going from pure crap to not quite pure crap, but I digress).

 

Of course in ths case there was nothing wrong with the original track, so chalk this one up to wanting to capture the rap-rock audience...

[Guest Random Hero]

But who is he? Does he have a band or what?

Probably a friend of the band or something, or maybe a former member. I'd look into it, but I really don't care that much.

[Guest Michael Joel Benoit]

Paul McCoy has this band called 12 Stones. They're just a typical nu-metal band that had a minor hit last year with "Broken" which was the theme song for WWE Judgment Day 2002 (which was the first ppv to use the WWE name).

Britney and Christina > Ja Rule and 50 Cent > Good Charlotte and Evanescence

[The Dames 0]

Yes, Paul McCoy is the lead singer of 12 Stones. Evanescence performed "Bring Me To Life" with the guitar playing singing vocals at the concert that I went to this past weekend.

Britney and Christina > Ja Rule and 50 Cent > Good Charlotte and Evanescence

All I can really add to that is:

 

Girl from Evanescence> Britney

thats the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

 

 

I'll add this: "modern music is a sick puppy" - FZ

[Guest Karnage]

Any Linkin Park song. We get it, you guys are angry.

[Guest Michael Joel Benoit]

I don't think mainstream music has gotten worst in the last two years. There has always been bad mainstream music. It's been like that since the very beginning. These last two years have brought us alot of crappy songs and artists but it's not like it has never happened before. I remember back in 1999 when "Living La Vida Loca" by Ricky Martin came out and 1996 with "The Macarena". Oh and 2000 with "Who Let The Dogs Out." I have heard plenty of crappy songs in my life and I'm only 16.

[Guest Choken One]

For the guy who asked

 

Josey Scott is the Saliva Front Man

 

And Saliva isn't *THAT* bad...I mean Good Charlotte and New Found Glory are a joke to the music industry with their "PUNK RAWK" crap

 

Saliva is just a poor man's Montley Crue...

 

And for the person that said

 

"CLOCKS" had the dubious honor of being Coldplay's best song is wrong...Good call...but I kinda like Spies.

 

And I just can't stand Coldplay's videos

 

I mean they are either WAY to artsy or so fucking simplistic it's almost stupid

 

Yellow=Guy walks on the beach for the whole time.

 

Trouble-Weird Artsy Video with animated birds and houses and flowers and shit.

 

In My Place-Abandoned White Warehouse with Two people sitting on the steps in the background as the lead singer runs around like a crack addict on speed.

 

Clocks-Live Performence Piece. (and of course the Brilliant Angle video)

 

Scientist-The stupud un-creative laughoutloud in it's pure brutal stupidity of the video in BACKWARDS mode...

 

But Worse song?

 

Ja Rule and Ashanti "Mesmerize"

[rising up out of the back seat-nuh 0]

The best Coldplay song is Don't Panic. They piss me off, but I still like that song.

[rising up out of the back seat-nuh 0]

I just heard the new Pink song, and thought of this thread...

[rising up out of the back seat-nuh 0]

curse you double post

[Guest The Hamburglar]

The worst song of the year is most definitely Ignition. Its criminally irritating. No "R" you fucking kiddy fiddler, I will not and will never give you a "beep beep" or indeed a "toot toot". And no, I don't give a fuck about your hair either.

 

I actually heard a Coldplay song I liked the other day, the newest single God Put a Smile On Your Face. I tried to deny it, but I had to give in to the awful truth that I was enjoying Coldplay. I felt dirty. If I'm not careful I'll start finding their other songs catchy and that'll be the end of it.

Welcome to the Dark Side, where it's acceptable to like mainstream music.

Everything Linkin Park's put out this year sounds exactly like the stuff from Hybrid Theory. And it all sucks.

Goddammit Dames, you'd make a great goth.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Oh, I went over to that Dark Side a while back when I realised that Cry Me a River is a great song and that Justin Timberlake is funksome. Coldplay though...for so long I have mocked and insulted their faux-emotion and utter lack of imagination...and now something they produced appeals. Its a worrying outlook, no doubt.

[Guest Random Hero]

Coldplay is just boring, boring music. There's no way around it, it's just BORING.

 

Oh and I have another pick for worst song of the year...

 

Finch- Letters To You

 

I know it was out aaaaages ago in America, but it was only released this year in the UK, and I don't know why they bothered.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

And Saliva isn't *THAT* bad...I mean Good Charlotte and New Found Glory are a joke to the music industry with their "PUNK RAWK" crap

 

Oh yes they are that bad. Saliva is, beyond a shadow of a doubt in my mind, the single most wretched, untalented, boring, repetitive, pathetic excuse for music on earth. The lyrics are even dumber that the drek vomited out by the people in Linkin Park.

 

"I love you, I hate you,

I can't live without you."

 

How many times has that been said? THOUSANDS. And each and every time, it was worded better than that pathetic couplet of crap.

 

The rest of that song is him yelping "Always" over and over again, with the sheer audacity and NERVE to act like it means something. How more vague and pathetic can you get? That's right. It's not possible.

 

Even fake punk rock can be acknowledged as fake punk rock, and that's the end of it, but when people give Saliva even a particle of credit, they are really hurting themselves.

 

"Just a kid with a pad and a pen and a big imagination"

 

THEN FUCKING WRITE SOMETHING GOOD, you uncreative, cheesy, cornball twat. They try to have all the wimpy angst of nu metal, but do it at the excess of hair bands, which results in this singularity of suck, pulling apart everything its radius atom by atom. Saliva is the worst band on earth. When I mention shitty music to people, they are the first example.

 

They're not a poor-man's Crue. That would be an insult to poor people and Motley Crue.

 

They're a wannabe DEF LEPPARD, and it truly doesn't get much worse than that.

[Guest Choken One]

^ But what about...Umm...Hold On...Umm...

 

Damn it...

 

"Rest in Pieces" is GREAT in it's chessy sappyness...
