Post a rock band that no one thinks is the worst rock band ever.

[jobycom]

:shrug:

[taterguy]

1. Straddlecat

[jobycom]

2. Guess I should have added that someone has to have heard of them.

:rofl: (Probably showing my ignorance more than anything else.)

[Zavulon]

3. Straddlecat sucks. Worst band ever.

(Assuming such a band exists, that is)

[asthmaticeog]

4. Huey Lewis and the News!

ROCKIN' good stuff! Really gets those toes a-tappin'!

[eyepaddle]

5. NOW you are just makin' stuff up.

I am sure he said something we can all agree with however--it is hip to be square.

Or was that aquare to be hip?

Whatever. It's Huey Lewis. :boring:

[aljones]

6. U2

[treestar]

76. I agree, and don't know anybody who particularly dislikes them even

[MissMillie]

7. Electric Light Orchestra (???)

:shrug:

[LynneSin]

39. I LOVE ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA - THEY'RE #5 ON MY LIST OF FAVORITES!!

1.) Led Zeppelin
2.) Queen
3.) Yes
4.) Pink Floyd
5.) Electric Light Orchesta

I shit you not!

[MissMillie]

65. I believe you! In fact I think you once said

something about marrying Jeff Lynne... which would make you Lynne Lynne!

Yes is also on my list of favorites. In fact I spend plenty of time at yesfans.com (and even debate in their political forum).

Zep was a phase for me. I still like them, but I don't listen to them every day, like I used to. I do think that their first album was nothing short of blues genius.

[Joe Fields]

8. The Beatles

[unpossibles]

9. strangely, there are plenty of folks who hate the Beatles

the thing I like about music is how it is subjective, yet manages to be an art form which can reach anyone in some way. But as for the subjectiveness, I think every band ever has at least one person who loves them and one person who hates them.

[Joe Fields]

40. But there is nobody in their right mind who could possibly think

they are the worst band ever.

[mudesi]

53. I can't stand the Beatles

They really were never any good.

Of course, they inspired all the greats that came after....But still. They really were never any good.

[unpossibles]

66. I disagree, but that is the nature of any subjective art

I like their earlier stuff up to the middle era, the more Mod dance rock music and the early stoner stuff like Revolver and Rubber Soul. They have some great songs and while I can see how someone doesn't like them (or any band), I don't understand or agree that they were not good. But again, to each their own.

I can understand thinking the later stuff was over-produced and over-hyped. I don't totally dislike it, but can understand the argument I suppose.

I also try to look at the context - like you said, they inspired so many people simply because they were breaking a lot of ground, not necessarily that they were inventing a new style, but more that they were putting things together in a new way and inventing a new type of band.

[Joe Fields]

68. So, you honestly believe they were the worst band ever?

Get thee to a psychiatrist. Go now, quickly, before it spreads.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

38. A lot of people hate them for topping out all the best-ever lists.

'Cause hip-hop is SO much better than John-Paul-George-Ringo.

[Joe Fields]

69. Well, you and I know why they top out on all the lists.

[dajoki]

10. The Who

:shrug:

[taterguy]

13. I'll bet the family of the guy Keith Moon killed doesn't like them

And if you're honest, you have to admit they haven't done much worthwhile since Keith Moon himself died

[EstimatedProphet]

11. LOVERBOY!

Yeah! Hot Girls in Love!

[geardaddy]

12. Impossible.

Even the most popular band has its detractors.

[hippiechick]

14. Kings of Leon

[Mr. Blonde]

21. Saw them last night

It was great.

[hippiechick]

28. Rock on! I can't wait til next week!!!

:bounce: I haven't seen them live since Bonnaroo in 2005. :bounce:

[Adsos Letter]

15. Boz Scaggs

[haf216]

16. Rush

[aikoaiko]

22. I know people who don't like Rush -- too tight.

I understood their critics after seeing them in concert. I loved their albums, but when I went to their concert I was surprised to hear exactly the same music. It were as if they were lipsynching to their albums. Talented, very talented, but it seemed to lack soul.

[haf216]

24. I never saw them in concert,

but loved the music in high school. Now I'm thinking it was a good thinking it was a good thing I did not see them.

[aikoaiko]

26. I guess it all depends on what you want from live music.

I suppose my tastes gravitate toward improvisation.

[RevolutionaryActs]

17. It can't be done.

:P

[hfojvt]

57. OFF WITH HER HEAD!!!

LOP it off.

It should be trollop in your sig quote, not trollup! Unless this is a new webword meaning 'an uppity troll'.

You can quote my grandfather to me 'I think you've been a teacher for too long!' but I was only an instructor for five semesters, or 10.5 classes.

[Beelzebud]

18. Tool

[aikoaiko]

19. Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble,

I don't know a single sentient being who can say they sucked.

[XNASA]

31. Without even going into SRV's fashion sense.....

....I know plenty of people who dislike that bad.

They were a pretty good bar band...but they didn't exactly break down any barriers.

[mark414]

20. Jimi Hendrix?

i know plenty of people who don't like him but i can't imagine anyone calling him the worst thing ever...:shrug:

[aikoaiko]

27. Agreed -- his reputation survived the test of time too.

[jobycom]

33. Hmmm, you may have something there.

He is not universally loved, but he is as nearly universally respected as anyone I can think of.

[XemaSab]

23. Modest Mouse

To know them is to love them. :D

[MysticalChicken]

35. I USED to hate them.

I thought Isaac Brock's voice was annoying. But they slowly grew on me. I realized I liked them one day when I was doing the dishes one day and belting out "I backed my car into a COP car! The other! Day! Well-he-just-drove-off-sometimes-life's-a-cake! I ran my mouth off a BIT! too much oh what did I say! Well you just laughed it off it was all okay!" I love them now. I only have GNFPWLBN, but it's awesome. I like "Satin In a Coffin" the best.

[XemaSab]

41. You *must* go get Lonesome Crowded West

Go now. I'm sure you can find a store still open. :o

[Merrick]

50. You *must* go get "This is a Long Drive For Somebody with Nothing to Think About"

It's their best. Though Lonesome Crowded West is a close second.

[SteppingRazor]

78. Bah. Have you seen'em live?

:puke:

[XemaSab]

79. I have and they RAWKED!

This was back when they were indie, though. :D

[SteppingRazor]

83. Hmm... I saw'em Nov. 2006 and they were horrid

I definitely dig their albums — especially the first two and the most recent two (Long Drive..., Lonesome Crowded West, Good News..., and We Were Dead...) — but they were terrible at the Bang Music Festival. They played on the mainstage right before the final band, Duran Duran. All in all, I was kicking myself that I hadn't stayed at the electronica stage and caught Daft Punk's whole set. Now that ROCKED!!

[KG]

25. the Doors

[southpaw]

32. I wouldn't call them the WORST rock band ever...

But I think they are hideously overrated.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

46. I think Manzarek had all the musicianship in that band.

Or maybe the guitarist.

I have a vinyl record of Carmina Burana (the Orff version) done by Ray Manzarek.
Strangely enough, it sounds like "Carmina Burana meets Light My Fire!".


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[DBoon]

29. Bill Haley and the Comets

nt

[BOSSHOG]

30. Bad Company

[slj0101]

34. Blue Cheer.

[Wapsie B]

36. Grand Funk Railroad

[mvd]

37. There probably isn't one

LOL

[realisticphish]

42. Public Enemy

not a rock band at all :shrug:

I win :D

[Gold Metal Flake]

43. The Pretty Things.

They were not the worst by a long shot.

[evlbstrd]

44. The Mothers.

But they played it to the hilt.

[DBoon]

49. Frank Zappa dies, and he knows he is in heaven

because he hears his music playing on the radio.

or as they said to him early on, "No commercial potential."

[Robeson]

45. The Bay City Rollers.....

...They were total bad ass, and totally ROCKED!!!!!

[devilgrrl]

62. Uhhhh, that ain't the Bay City Rollers

this is...

[riderinthestorm]

47. The Stones. nt

So sue me! They are one of the greatest bands evah!

[hfojvt]

55. I can't stand the Stones

almost more than any other band on the radio
but I probably would not say they are the worst ever.

Hank Williams is worse, but I am sure there are worse than that.

[MnFats]

56. Bzzzzzz! wrong! the Stones are Gods!

world's greatest rock n roll band

[hfojvt]

59. Gods or no gods

I own none of their albums, CDs or tapes, and will not listen to most of their songs on the radio. If the DJ starts them up, I will shut the radio off. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. (except "You can't always get what you want" that ones kinda cool.) I even mute the TV when Mick sings for ten seconds on a Chase Visa commercial. If I could clap my hands (or get a genie to do it) and make all of their recordings vanish, I would gladly do it.
Did I mention that I fu$%ing hate them?

[Common Sense Party]

60. I'm right there with you. Cannot STAND to hear them or see them.

One of the least exciting bands in the history of rock.

[kwassa]

72. GREATEST.ROCK.BAND.EVER. THE ROLLING STONES!!!!

[LTR]

48. Led Zeppelin

If you hate them, then you are not human.

Runner-up would be James Brown's backup band.

[Joe Fields]

70. Correction, If you hate them, you should at least appreciate their

contribution to music, and their musical abilities. If you don't appreciate that, then you are not human, and have no business commenting on the music scene.

[LTR]

82. Okay, I'll go along with that

Nonetheless, one of the tightest bands in the history of rock.

[Merrick]

51. Neurosis

Most underrated band of all time.

[mudesi]

52. Lynyrd Skynyrd

You think maybe my screen name is a dead giveaway?

[Common Sense Party]

54. Soda Stereo.

Gracias...totales.

Best damn Spanish-language rock band ever. The powerhouse from Buenos Aires were in a class all by themselves.

If you don't know 'em, you don't know what you missed:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYQh4PiW62Y
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WR1ZO7PY0bE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vSPomHlZJI
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gintWo6urVQ

Sadly, they are no more...

[Justitia]

58. Aerosmith

[Common Sense Party]

61. Cheap Trick.

They're probably not at the TOP of too many lists, but, c'mon! Who could HATE these guys?

[fishwax]

63. herman's hermits

I'm sure nobody thinks they're the best band ever, either, but I can't imagine anyone having such strong feelings about them as to think them the worst :)

All the greatest bands are going to inspire hatred from some corners for one reason or another ...

[Alexander]

64. Yes

Well, not the Rick Wakeman/Steve Howe years anyway.

[devilgrrl]

67. Pink Floyd...

over-played? Yes. The worst? Not even close.

[kwassa]

74. well they really do suck ....

but no, not the worst.

[Burma Jones]

71. Los Lobos

I have never heard anyone say that Los Lobos stink up the joint......

[kwassa]

73. I saw them at a New Year's Concert in Los Angeles

Fantastic!

[Tikki]

75. Sly and The Family Stone.......

"When you see me again
I hope that you have been
The kind of person that you really are now.....

If You Want Me To Stay....Sly and The Family Stone.

[GumboYaYa]

84. That seem slike a good answer.

I don't think I have ever heard anyone diss Sly.

[geardaddy]

77. Throbbing Gristle

[cobalt1999]

80. Eagles

[sakabatou]

81. The Pillows
