Nuk's 20 Worst Bands of All-time.

[Nukleopatra]

Also I am begging that the Doors be on this list somewhere.

I cannot stand the fuckin Doors.

If I ever made a ''most overrated bands'' list, ''The Doors'' would make it. I'm actually a Doors fan, but talk about overrated as hell. They made some really bad music. If you've never heard the album ''L.A Woman,'' I highly recommend it. One of my favorite albums.

I was listening to a Blink 182 song as I read through this thread... whoops

Creed and Limp Bizzy is a great choice for two of the top three.

 

[Irish]

Blink 182 isnt terrible just horribly overrated.

I don't know, man - you know a band really sucks when I add them, and not ''The Bay City Rollers.

Bands in this list that are also on my Zune:

Journey - 1 song (although I like some others)
Nickelback - 1 song
Linkin Park - 6 songs
Blink 182 - 3 songs
3 Doors Down - 3 songs

Also like the songs "We Built This City" and "Heat of the Moment."

I guess I like terrible music?

 

[MvP]

I like Linkin Park, and I also listen to Creed because I used to sing it all the time when I played CoD4 as a joke. I also have no clue how to create rock music.

Depends.

There's two types of music fans.

There's people who listen to shitty music, because they honestly think the artists are talented. This is the clueless music fan.

Then there's people who listen to shitty music, but can tell the difference between actual good music and bad music.

Because honestly, who isn't guilty of having bad music in their collection? I'm listening to REO Speedwagon right now - are they good? lmao, gtfo. You can either tell the difference or you can't - either way, who cares? It's your life, enjoy it.

Interesting list. My observations on a few of the bands...

Air Supply - Yeah, they sucked but if you were a teenage boy in the 80's and wanted to have a chance at making out with the Betty you were riding around in your Camaro, you needed to have at least 2 cassettes....Air Supply's Greatest Hits and Foreigner 4.

Journey - I despised them as a teenager but grew to like some of their older stuff like Wheel in the Sky as I got older. They do have a ton of talent but Steve Perry made my ass hurt.

Linkin Park - I don't care for them that much but my wife loves them. I can admit to having seen them in concert with Snoop Dogg and Korn a few years ago. Korn's live set was not that bad and, of course, the D...O...Double G was worth the price of admission.

Limp Bizkit - They were cool for about 15 minutes after the premier of that video "Break Stuff". Look at all of the major artists who did cameo's in that shit. They are like the ugly girl that everybody fucked because she filled a need at the time but are too embarrassed to talk about later with their friends. They did have a bad ass set at the Woodstock reunion and then their lack of talent started to shine through...lol

3 Doors Down - I like some of their songs but when you listen to their CD's, it sounds like the same songs over and over and over. I cut them a little slack since they are from Hurley, MS and really contributed big time to helping their coastal neighbors with relief in the days following Katrina.

Too funny about GWAR being mentioned. I have seen them about 10 times in concert over the years. They are the epitome of performance art, basically what KISS should be minus Gene Simmons enormous ego....speaking of KISS....how they hell are they not on this list?

 

[DoubleDeuce]

I hate it when untalented bands make songs I shouldn't like but somehow do.

#15.

The Buggles.

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.​

I like The Buggles only album ... and am old enough to have owned the original 45 for Video Killed The Radio Star.

You should put all the picks in the first post once you announce them.

Coldplay and Linkin Park do not belong on this list. Coldplay is a great band, and while Linkin Park isn't great, they have had some damn catchy songs. That you mentioned "The The" astounds me. That one was out of left field and unexpected from someone under 30 (assuming you're under 30).

The Buggles released two albums, I own both.

Age of Plastic
Adventures in Modern Recording.

And both albums suck.

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.
Entertaining thread nonetheless.

You think Nuk's under 30? :jonesy:

Dave is what I call - the clueless music fan.

You enjoy shitty, talentless bands - It's no skin off my ass, Dave.

Oh, and thanks.

If anything, I'm more interested in your top 20 ... anyone can be a critic.

I was thinking about doing a top 20, but haven't really decided yet. If I do, it'll be around Sunday or Monday... and no, Coldplay won't be one of them.

 

[dave]

Music is the most subjective topic ever.
I really don't care what is critically acclaimed.

When I listen to music, I just want to enjoy it.

Unless you're an accomplished musician yourself, your opinion is pretty much pointless.

Neil Finn of Crowded House pretty much nailed it in a song - the critic's rebuke hurt, but it warmed my heart to know he could do it too (may not be the exact line ... don't feel like looking it up).

 

[Nukleopatra]

Neil Finn wasn't even relevant enough to consider adding here. If I ever decide to make a list for the top 20 most irrelevant 80's musicians of all-time, I may find a spot for him there.

But, hell, New Zealand sure loved the guy, so I guess he has that to fall back on.
