what's the crappiest band ever

[atomic-fly]

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

1. The Exploding Technicolor Foreskin.

I saw them in concert, once, back in 1971. They weren't half bad if you took the brown acid. But Mel Fishman's 7 hour organ solo got really boring after the first five and a half hours.

[atomic-fly]

2. dude...i took the green blotter...they sucked!

[atomic-fly]

4. those 7 hour solos are painful

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

6. Tell that to the organ.

And, I suppose, the exploding foreskin.

[atomic-fly]

11. i didn't even see that one coming...

even crappier

[Pale Blue Dot]

3. Ok, to start the flame war... Aerosmith

Successfully rewriting the same song for 30 years. Only they keep making it crappier.

[atomic-fly]

5. I think they had a crappie manager for a while

[jpgray]

8. Their first album or two actually aren't horribly offensive

[jobycom]

16. My 13 year old daughter would fight you for saying that.

And I'll bet she'd win! :rofl:

[Pale Blue Dot]

25. I'm not fighting any teenage girls

I have a 14-year-old future stepdaughter, and she could kick my ass. Thankfully, she has better taste in music. :P

[ComerPerro]

21. They seemed to get worse when they got sober

[KatyMan]

44. Anyone with a modicum of taste

would agree. I'd rather go deaf than listen to them. Pure. Unadultereted. Crap. And Joe Perry is a shitty guitar player.

[CBGLuthier]

47. Don't know if they are the crappiest, but

they are certainly the most over-rated. A few good songs once every decade or so does not equal greatness to me.

[ghostsofgiants]

7. Nickelback automatically springs to mind for me.

[atomic-fly]

9. I think there is a video of the audience throwing rocks at them...

that's a crappie thing to do!
I know they suck, but rocks.

[liberalpragmatist]

10. yes. (nt)

[Quantess]

29. Yes.

Why does the vocalist have to grunt and grind on his vocal folds? He even grunts through sappy ballads.

Plus, what the heck is a "nickel back" anyway? Were they originally called "Nickel Bag"? Maybe their record label said, no, you can't name your band after a drug reference.

[conflictgirl]

32. The true story of the Nickelback name! It's great!

The singer said that they used to charge a nickel for their shows and people would ask for their "nickel back". I don't know if it's true or not, but apparently even the band itself knows that they suck.

[Quantess]

34. I'd like to sue Nickelback on behalf of everyone

who has had to hear their music. Then divide the money and give everyone a nickel. :rofl:

[deucemagnet]

33. In American football, a nickel back is a corner who serves

as a fifth defensive linebacker. Why a Canadian band would choose that name, I do not know.

[Juffo Wup]

38. The lead singer once worked at Starbucks

Where about everything is something-95, so he'd always ask people if they wanted their nickel back.

[conflictgirl]

31. YES!!!!

They are by far the worst. Just hearing their songs irritates me, and normally I can tune stuff out.

They sound like a cover band.

[nytemare]

12. Matchbox 20

They only really had 2 songs, Push, and the other one.

[jobycom]

17. I have to disagree

I think Push WAS the other one. And to call either a song... That's just generous.

[nytemare]

18. They played their stuff too much on the radio down here.

I thought the guy's voice sucked. The only decent thing he did was with Carlos Santana, and that is because Santana wrote the song.

[Initech]

13. Linkin Park

I think the fact that the band's lead singer's name is Chester really says a lot! :evilgrin:

[sendero]

14. Oasis..

... I'm going for "crappy relative to their status". Hafta be them :)

[ComerPerro]

15. I know of a certain DUer who will be all over you when he sees this

[Richard Steele]

19. Hootie and the Blowfish.

Blow FISH? More like blow CHUNKS.

Crappie!

[atomic-fly]

27. gawk

[mvd]

20. None of the above IMO - I am a fan of some of them

including Hootie and Aerosmith, mostly from Big Ones on back. I always go with Static-X, though I haven't thought it out.

[Whoa_Nelly]

22. Somebody had a just little too much time on their hands...

[atomic-fly]

24. you just blew my mind....

[AmericanErrorist]

23. Gary Puckett and the Union Gap

'nuff said.

[smtpgirl]

26. Loverboy

[Freedom4Sale]

28. Its a tie

The two crappiest bands ever would have to be Fall out boy and panic at the disco with Avenged sevenfold following closely behind....god they suck

[Quantess]

30. Ever? Mike And The Mechanics.

Hands down worst "music" ever.x(

It's that Mike Rutherford guy from Genesis. It's all his fault. He should be jailed for that.

[bedazzled]

35. without a doubt - stryper

talk about an insult to humanity...

[atomic-fly]

41. they are pretty good.

[KitchenWitch]

36. Your meter seems to be stuck on "Crappie"

[GreenTea]

37. Neil Diamond

[Juffo Wup]

39. Pink Floyd

n/t

[kwassa]

45. a mystery to me why they were popular ever

snooze material

[RedStateShame]

46. Syd Barrett, that's why

Yes, Roger Waters and David Gilmour were Ambien: The Band. With Barrett at front, though, they did some strange stuff. Unfortunately, Barrett's dead, as I'm sure you'll see in another thread.

[Phillycat]

52. Exactly what I was going to say.

:thumbsup:

[RedStateShame]

40. The Eagles

They ruined rock & roll by making overproduced, castrated, wishy-washy shit for Baby Boomers, and, somehow, they managed to also ruin country music by convincing the industry to sound like that as well. My only moral dilemma is whether to piss or dance on Don Henley's grave.

[RebelOne]

42. That's blasphemy. The Eagles are one of my favorite groups.

And Don Henley rocks. As far as I know he doesn't have a grave as he is not dead yet

[RedStateShame]

43. I know, but I need some time to build up the courage

Now that I said I'll do it, people might be watching, and I can't go if people are watching. If it would be less offensive, though, I'd be more than happy to move to Glenn Frey's eventual resting place.

[Magrittes Pipe]

48. This is the correct answer.

:thumbsup:

[Strawman]

49. Once the "complete shit" threshold is crossed, it's splitting hairs

I can't answer.

[ChickMagic]

50. Creed

Not just because they suck in general, but their
label kicked out my brother in law's band in order
to sign them. Stupid record industry.

[atomic-fly]

51. that was a crappie thing to do....

yes they suck.

[ChickMagic]

53. The old, good BC

"Why won't people buy my cereal?"
"Maybe you shouldn't call it crappie".

Yeah, my BIL's band got screwed over in
a big way. Now they self-publish and
are doing pretty well locally. He's
done a couple of musical scores for some
B horror movies (the ones his fiance
was conveniently in) and a big name studio
is interested in having him score a movie.
All in all, it may have been a good thing.

[atomic-fly]

54. cool...sounds like they are doing ok.
