Nevermortal 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2003 Wow, I never realised how unpopular The White Stripes are here until reading this thread (I don't hang on the music board often). I love the White Stripes and think Jack has a hell of a lot of talent, Meg on the otherhand isn't the most talented drummer but she gets the Job done. And what a job it is. Its like the same drumbeat on every Stripes song. I could do that, and I don't have a shred of musical talent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2003 Shit, I don't even think GOOD CHARLOTTE is worst band ever material. People need to stop thinking in terms of "What popular band do I hate and resent?" and actually look at the general lack of talent. Who's worse than Good Charlotte? It's not that they're popular, causing hate and resentment, it's that they legitimately suck ass. If they're not the worst band on the planet right now, I don't know who is. Maybe Ima Robot, but I don't think Indie counts. I know they're awful, but shit, if you want to talk popular mainstream bands who suck, I'd say Linkin Park is worse. It's just the same three songs over and over again. And if Aqua still exists, well, there you go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Benington has a decent enough voice when he's not screaming, and Mr. Hahn is an avereage DJ. There's nothing good about GC. Last I heard, Aqua broke up. Oh, "Cold Blood" by Kix RAWKS the house.

PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 The White Stripes are not candidates for the worst ever, as one of them is ok-to-good. That's enough, though they did decide to blow goats when I saw them, and I'm bitter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 Yeah, but put it this way, I have no real desire to listen to Steely Dan, but the musicianship and production values are the best in the industry, and that I respect. So I don't see why you can hate a band for possessing technical skill. Hate them cos you don't like listening to the end product, but understand they can't qualify as the worst.

Ripper 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 There is way too much talent in most of your list to say that they are the worse. be it song writing, arrangement, they all...well...most of them have something that they are good at. ICP's, in my opinon, only talent is that they are kinda funny. That isn't a muscial talent. Their lyrics are bad...their production is bad...their ideas are bad...their flow is bad. There really isn't anything redemable about these guys...except that they are funny and different. Niether or which make you a good musician. Hell, I would kill everyone in here before I listen to Michael Bolton, but I wouldn't call him the worst singer ever. And I mean that...every single one of you...twice if necessary.

Anorak 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 I swear blind I saw a 'Best Of Black Lace' album once at my local HMV so they can win this for the sheer bloody cheek of releasing that. I t probably came with 6 different remixes of 'agadoo' on it no doubt. If you like tacky 'themed' compilation albums then Allmusic.com reliably informs me 'agadoo' appears on two very interesting records entitled 'The Best Kids Party In The World...Ever! & Ultimate Cheeky Party Album. The Kid's album has great novelty stuff like Rolf Harris, Max Bygraves, The Wombles & The Chipmunks but spoils it with predictable crap like Spice Girls, Steps and Billie but i'm sure the youngun's love it. Including stuff like Right Said Fred and Benny Hill on the other hand is rather disturbing for different reasons. The 'Ultimate Cheeky' album is a lesson in what constitutes good cheesy pop and shit cheesy pop but any album featuring 'Kung Fu Fighting', Wake Me Up Before You Go Go AND 'Israelites' deserves anybody's time. Don't forgot to have the skip button ready for 'agadoo' though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Way back in the day MTV ran a special for the Top 200 videos ever. This was around 1989-90, when I was 6-7. Their video for "I'll Never Let You Go" was #200 and I liked it a lot. I even got their album (cassette of course). Not my finest moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

{''({o..o})''} 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2003 I saw a band play once at a rave, I think their name was "Testicle Bomb" and within one minute of playing they were getting glow sticks and other assorted glow in the dark shit getting thrown at them. So they cut them in the middle of the performance to play some speed racer techno song. These guys would make three drunken, crack smoking hobos look like musical gods in comparision.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted October 17, 2003 Good call, plunderin'. I hate the shit out of Evanescence. Now, as for: Im gonna say Dillinger Escape Plan It's been a while since I've had to do this to someone but...*rips Haraga's face off* Yeah, they're absolutely berzerk, but those guys are so talented that it's not even fair. The drummer seemingly has extra arms, and has such a great sense of tempo, and variation. The band's style has grown and changed over time, encompassing all sorts of different influences..I could go on about 'em all day. Given that, however, I completely understand why some people can't stand listening to them. I use Calculating Infinity to torture my coworkers who have no idea what the band is doing.

haVoc 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2003 Since these guys name has come up alot in this thread... One night last week I got home from work and caught "Not Another Teen Movie" on Cinamax, so I started watching it since I haven't seen it since it came out in 2001. Anyway, what band do I see playing the prom in the movie? Why, it's Good Charlotte! No punk attitude. No black make-up. Just 4/5 clean cut kids covering pop songs like "I want candy" and "Put your head on my shoulder." I know it was a movie and they were paid to be that way (or were they always "punk?") but I thought it was funny seeing MTV's favorite little rebellious punk rockers doing those songs.
