Air Supply is a soft rock duo, known best for their gay love ballads, and lead singer Russell Hitchcock. Now, again, Air Supply did manage to make a few good songs, and Hitchcock was more tolerable than Journey lead singer, Steve Perry - but unless you're a middle aged woman, or have absolutely no taste in music at all, you really won't appreciate the ''gift'' these guys gave the world. The video I'm about to add brings back some less than fond memories.. The first time I ever felt like hitting a woman, is when my ex ex gf felt the need to play this song 20x a fucking day, just to see me cringe. If you manage to make it to the end of the song, Hitchcock almost reaches the same annoyance level as Steve Perry. It's not pretty.
Positives: Russell Hitchcock wasn't a bad singer, by any means. His on-stage persona simply wasn't good enough to make up for what they lack, which was pretty much everything you could hope for in a good band.

What's the formula for making the worst looking band of all-time, as well, as one of the worst sounding bands? Well, see, you take two hippies, throw one on drums, one on the mic, and if you happen to have a black guy laying around somewhere, you take him and toss his ass on bass. That's really all you need, and you could be starting your very own band today!
Positives: Eric Schenkman (guitarist.) You really won't notice, but Eric was a good player, he just wasn't good enough to make up for the people around him.

Great list so far. Journey was definitely one of the greats, but the points you make about them are spot on.
Good shit Nuk.

Live has been accused by many music experts as being a cheap, shitty rip off of ''U2.'' Now, after listening to the music, I really didn't notice it. Of course, if U2 ever decides to suck, I'll probably be able to recognize it a little better.
Postives: Absolutely nothing.

Trevor Horn thought it would be a good idea to form a band gayer than ''Devo.'' So, he decided to form this pile of donkey spunk, with keyboard player, Geoff Downes. They continue to live off the fact that their ''hit'' video was the first ever to broadcast on MTV. Who cares that it completely fucking sucks, right?
Positives: Well, they look like two guys that would post at VSN, and we can use all the traffic we can get.

Journey was formed by former members of Santana, best known for guitarist Neal Schon. Growing up, I was forced fed this shit on a daily basis. My mother loved Journey, my sister loved Journey, and my father loved Journey. However, there was always something standing in my way from ever really liking the bands music - and yes, they did make some good songs, and they are far more musically gifted than my #20 band, but again, there's that one thing that always stood in my way from actually appreciating anything these guys ever did... and that would be lead singer, Steve Perry. One music expert put it best, when he described Perry's vocals as ''nails going down a chalkboard.'' Until I read that, I never could quite place the annoyance in Perry's voice. But yeah, that is exactly the experience I have to this very day, whenever I hear a Journey song. The only thing worse than hearing this guy sing, is looking at him on stage. You think Billy Squier looked bad? Check this fucking guy out.
Positives: Neal Schon. Talented guy.. Worked his ass off since he was 15. The band was musically gifted, so I'm not taking that away from them, and they did manage to throw out a few decent songs - but Steve Perry is more than enough to throw them at this spot.
Formerly known as ''Jefferson Airplane,'' they're guilty of making the worst song of all-time..... literally. Yeah, that's about the only interesting thing about these guys.
Positives: Absolutely nothing.

Baltimora is well known for their one hit wonder song, ''Tarzan Boy.'' There's an interesting story about this band - If you watch the video, you'll notice that he's lip-synching. What you may not know, though, is that he's not even lip-synching to his own voice. Most ''Baltimora'' fans will deny this up and down, because they loved frontman, Jimmy McShane (RIP.) However, the truth is, he wasn't anything but a frontman, given the part due to his stage presence, which I guess they felt keyboardist Maurizio Bassi, lacked. Bassi is the voice behind ''Tarzan Boy.'' He's not a bad singer, now that he's finally making music on his own, but ''Baltimora'' will pretty much haunt him forever.
Positives: Maurizio Bassi. Although it's pretty much too late.

Just another reason to hate Canada - It's not the last band Canada will have on this list either, so stay tuned. Believe it or not, it actually gets worse than this sorry fucking nonsense.
Positives: Uh, they sold a lot of bad records, to people with no taste?
