Most boring band ever


(taking submissions)

[WeRQ4U]

1. Hanson

[MissMillie]

2. Crowded House???? You're kidding right?

wow.... I can't imagine anyone thinking they were boring.

[grace0418]

34. Where was Crowded House listed? I don't see it.

Because if CH were listed, I'd have to start kicking some ass. Seriously.

[MissMillie]

49. Looks like the poll was edited

It was one of the choices

[grace0418]

50. As well they should've remove them from the list.

They don't want the wrath of grace0418 to rain down on them! ;)

[driver8]

52. Crowded House was the shiznit...

Man, what a great band. I like the Finn Brothers stuff, but not as much as Crowded House.

[Dr Fate]

3. Cold Play & Radiohead

Why am I supposed to like these guys again????

[noise626]

7. That question is so delicious I would have to put it on toast..

...seriously, I can't really think of a reason to like those bands...

pax
ant

But, at least they play their own music.

[noise626]

4. I would actually go with Bread....

...but that's mean :)

[Wickerman]

5. Loverboy?

[progmom]

6. Coyboy Junkies

I fell asleep at their show.

:boring:

[jandrok]

11. They put me to sleep, also.

Every time I hear their awful cover of "Sweet Jane", I start to nod off. Truly, a cure for insomnia.

[driver8]

53. Good choice...I saw them a couple of times and they were pretty

dull. Good music, but not too exciting on stage,

[sundog]

57. damn you!

:nuke:

[icymist]

8. Likeable Dave....an act I caught in a small bar in Springfield.

His band played a one cord song.

[lies and propaganda]

9. None of my all time hates...

And I know i will be flamed....

U2 BLOWS!!!! What the hell happened to the Sunday Bloody Sunday U2? What is this supermarket friendly crap.
And I can also not stand Kings of Leon, awful, awful.

[Rabrrrrrr]

10. Beach Boys. Or maybe John Cougar. Or perhaps that other asshole,

real popular with the girls in the 80s...Springfield something or other. Rick?

[jandrok]

12. 10,000 Maniacs

BOR-ing.

[UdoKier]

13. I liked the maniacs, but they were pretty low-key.

Esp. that one song, "hey, hey give 'em what they want."

[driver8]

54. I saw the Maniacs many, many times...

I never found them boring at all. Natalie Merchant never sat still...and I loved the guitar playing of Robert Buck (RIP).

[sundog]

58. no way! great live act

:)

[sundog]

59. matchbox 20

:puke:

[Placebo]

61. They rock in comparison to say...

Hootie. *snoooooooooore*

[MissMillie]

14. Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band

sound like the kids down at the end of the street in their garage... why pay for that music when I can get it for free by walking down the street (not that I'd cross the street to hear it, mind you)

[Bonhomme Richard]

15. TOAD?????????????

Dulcinea is one of my favorite albums ever.

LOL, now I have to really querstion peoples taste.

[Nostradammit]

56. No kidding!

I'm just gobsmacked by their inclusion on this list.

Just hunching the original poster has never tried to write nor produce music.

Dulcinea, indeed...

[last_texas_dem]

64. I'll second that one

They're great, and I can't see how they're boring. Even the overplayed "All I Want" is overplayed with good reason.

[MessiahRp]

16. Does the monotone

50 Cent count? Listen to him. Not a single change of pitch, no inflection in voice at all... just a boring monotone sound that repeats itself track after track. I have no clue why people like him so much.

[Dukkha]

17. Hootie!

Air Supply was not boring because they reached the ultimate pinnacle heights of suckdom!

Hootie and the Blowfish were the quintessential definition of mediocricy. They were the house band of the neutrals. They are the sound of beige.

[UdoKier]

20. But they had that song! You know the top 20 one!

The one that went like... like... um... hmm...


?

[name not needed]

23. No, that was written by Crash Test Dummies

:P

[AngryAmish]

18. Dave Matthews band

They literally shit on their fans.

[Taverner]

33. Second for Dave Matthews

I mean he is a great musician, and has an awesome band, but their music is AWFUL and boring as all hell.

[grace0418]

35. Yes, I agree with that one.

[4_Legs_Good]

42. Agreed

Boooooring and lame too.

david

[ghostsofgiants]

44. Yeah, they get my vote too

Some of my friends damn near have orgasms over his music while I just sit there trying to figure out why the hell they seem to love him so much. Still haven't figured it out.

[Placebo]

60. Yes!

I am pissed that they dumped their tour bus' shit all over my state! x(

[Torgo Johnson]

19. Do Hall and Oates count?

If not, I will go with Huey(Hip to be Square)Lewis and the News.

[UdoKier]

22. H & O get a few points for Blue-eyed Soul

but Huey Lewis is a worthy addition!

[Wickerman]

41. love your sigline

New Roman Times is one of the best albums in recent years, imho.

:thumbsup:

[last_texas_dem]

63. Hall and Oates aren't really that boring

if you consider the bulk of the material they released, especially their seventies work.

I could see how their early-eighties megahits could make someone think there was little variety to their sound, but their seventies albums (my favorite material by them) cover several genres of music, as they searched for their sound. They swing from folk to seventies soul to experimental rock to pop to hard rock to even stuff with disco and "punk" (I know most punk fans would say it is technically impossible for Hall and Oates to do punk music, but there is some stuff on Along the Red Ledge that gets eerily close to it) elements.

Anyway, just defending my boys Hall and Oates. :-) Their seventies work is some of my favorite forgotten (besides the two or three Top Ten Hits) music by a major artist.

[GOPisEvil]

21. The Cars (live)

Recorded they were great. But live? :boring:

[kmla]

24. You forgot to list Styx. Or Boston. Or REO.

*Yawn*

:puke:

Sorry. That was a technicolor yawn...

[Arugula Latte]

45. Oh god Styx.

That band Sux.

God they really suck badly. That guy's voice is the most grating thing I've ever heard.

I'd almost rather listen to Bush speak. Almost.

P.S. You forgot Journey, as well!

[WeRQ4U]

25. Christopher Cross

Not sure he's considered a "Band" though.

[MadHound]

26. Gotta go for Boston

Their first albumn was great, a classic of sorts. However they had that extended feud with their label, and when the dust settled down and they came out with two other albumns, like fifteen years later, guess what, they sounded exactly like the first one, stuck in the seventies.

[jonnyblitz]

31. i didnt even like the first one. it's all i heard for the longest time

it's like freebird and stairway to heaven to me .

[StopTheMorans]

27. U2, this poll sucks

[UdoKier]

29. I think they are pretty lame, BUT

They do have a few excellent songs and a HUGE following. I don't need the grief provoking them would bring on...

[StopTheMorans]

30. fair enough, i'll take it from here

[AllegroRondo]

28. John Tesh or Michael Bolton

maybe Kenny G

[UdoKier]

32. Come on, you guys are going off into the old-lady fringes.

I'm talking about mainstream stuff that people under 50 might listen to...

[blindpig]

36. Three Dog Night

It was my fate that they were the closing act at a mega show at Poconos in the 70's. People fled like rats.

[AntiCoup2K4]

37. Steely Dan

their music is among the most boring pathetic bullshit ever recorded.

[Arugula Latte]

46. No way!

I love Steely Dan.

They really stand up over time, too. So there. :hippie:

[dean_dem]

38. Phish

If that's what all music sounded like, I would lose interest in music altogether.

[arwalden]

39. Oasis

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

40. metallica-and yes, even in the 80s

they suck now and they sucked then. just because it's loud doesn't make it interesting or non-formulaic

[jmm]

43. The boy band that sang that damn abercrombie and fitch song.

I hated the summer that song came out.

[AwakeAtLast]

55. That would be LFO

And that would be an example of the utterly useless information in my head! :crazy:

[MrScorpio]

47. I've got over 4,000 songs on my iTunes

Not one of these bands has a song there

What does that tell you?

[Initech]

48. Whoa, Radiohead is on the list and Nickelback isnt?

This gets a big "What the fuck?" from me.

And I vote for Creed.

[PittPoliSci]

51. The Grateful Dead

I guess you could just file Dave Matthews Band, Phish, and other boring, repetitive uninspired schlock in that category as well.

[last_texas_dem]

62. Air Supply

Just 'cause there doesn't seem to be much variety to the themes of their lyrics or their sound. I don't consider many of the groups listed to be "boring", though. They may have unjustifiably earned that reputation due to the one or two songs of theirs that get constant rotation on the radio, though.
