I guess I’ll end it there. I don’t even know if half of those bands are still around.

Black Label Society

Venom

I fully endorse these entries into the book of suckage. Especially BLS. I might actually hate them and their fans more than Pantera. I’m not sure. If I could light Zach’s stupid hippie beard on fire and then kick him in the wiener, I would.

And Venom . . . yeah, it’s cool to like them and everyone says they do because of their scary iconic album art and t-shirt designs. I don’t hate them or even get bothered if people really do like them, but the reality is they really were a terrible band.

How have 2 pages worth of posts been added to this thread with no one mentioning Sonic Youth? I just… don’t… get it. Atonal noise + Kim Gordon’s cigarette-throat croak = not my cup of tea. But hey, they’re brilliant, right?

I’ve never heard Mindless Self Indulgence

They’re funny. at least the Frankenstein album is.
Late,
grmpysmrf

Yep, Sonic Youth is crap too.

lololol I’m surprised a flame war hasn’t started.

Anyways…

Tool
Nirvana
Slipknot
Queen
Eminem
Jay Z

and all those shitty emo bands kids are into these days… like freakin Pierce The Veil and what not.

edit: I think Slipknot wins the shittiest band award, seeing as pretty much everyone mentioned them.

No order (they’re all dreadful)

Green Day
Florence & the Machine
Lady Gaga
Madonna
Oasis
Lana Del Ray
Mumford & Sons
White Stripes
Coldplay
Led Zeppelin (they have some good ideas but they’re all ruined with that intolerable frontman)

I don’t usually bother with the Top 40 or teenybopper stuff on these topics, but there’s one whose popularity and success just baffles me to no end . . . NICKI MINAJ. Holy crap, she is just friggin’ attrocious. It’s not just an “ain’t my cup of tea” type of thing either. She has a horrible voice, idiotic lyrics that a 7 year old with Down’s Syndrome might pen, bad sense of rhythm. She’s just 100 percent bad.

Gunnar,

I got a funny take on Nicki Minaj. When I first heard her rap on Kanye West’s “Monster,” she was so amazing that I thought she’d be the next Missy Elliott. Then the album came out. WOW. Just awful.

I have no way of adjusting for the disparity between the two performances, other than to suggest one of two theories: 1) it was Kanye’s production the whole time; or 2) the producers who handle her now have no idea what to do with her, she’s that… weird.

On the other hand, she is an obnoxious little tart, which makes it harder to be a Minaj apologist.

Lowell

Kanye West

thanks for reminding me…

The Who
Led Zepplin
Animal Collective (this is what a polished turd sounds like. nice sounds but that’s all down to the equipment used. no substance)
Sleigh Bells (polished jobby no substance)
Minor Threat (boring!)
Johnny Cash (wonderful voice but would often cover crap songs for the money, most of his stuff’s crap. Should I keep him in the list here? He bores me to tears so aye)

some of the bands already mentioned here I don’t agree with and to me fall into the overrated category rather than bands that suck… sometimes music being overrated makes it suck.

Frank Zappa (started off good, ended up sucking. Same with Oasis.)
Flaming Lips
Mike Patton (I love a lot of his music and bands he’s been involved in but the unconditional Patton love is cringeworthy)
Slayer

I’m sure some of the sucky bands I wrote at the beginning of this post are maybe good at what they do, but I can’t stand them… does that mean they suck or not?

seeing alot of dislikes on some good bands.

all music that sucks is rap and country.

you know some of you listen to that.

That murdering Nazi fuckwit from Burzum.

Animal Collective (this is what a polished turd sounds like. nice sounds but that’s all down to the equipment used. no substance)
Sleigh Bells (polished jobby no substance)

Good call.

Mike Patton for me too…he ruins music AND he ruins Melvins too.

seeing alot of dislikes on some good bands.

That means you like crap bands.

That murdering Nazi fuckwit from Burzum.

YOU LEAVE BURZUM OUTTA THIS!!!

[mad]

And he mentioned the man behind the music. Aren’t we talking about the music?
