18 Worst Bands in Rock History

I'm sorry, but Status Quo to me are just denim, waistcoats and rehashed Chuck Berry riffs...

 

Queen And Black Sabbath And Yes

 

what no! moodyblues is awesome man where are you going with that? and kansas and europe and journey and styx are pretty kool to me man add mychemical romance to the list.

 

Wow....that's the deepest, most thought-provoking fucking review I've ever read...not. Although I agree with some of these bands (Journey, Huey Lewis, REO Speedwagon), it becomes apparent to me that you have somewhat of a hatred for progressive rock music, a genre of music that most of those who hate it usually say that it's "pretentious", "boring" and that the songs are too long, which also leads me to believe that these people, you among them, have a very thin, if not non-apparent view of music. Which brings me to one of the greatest, most innovative groups ever, probably second only to the Beatles, The Moody Blues. Every single one of their albums from 1967's Days of Future Passed up to about 1972's Seventh Sojourn were so far ahead of their time that no other albums came close to the rich, musical textures or amazingly deep, introspective lyrics of each members. So to even consider The Moodies for this list tells me either you have no idea about real music, or that you're just jealous, because you'll never be as famous, or as talented as either of the five original members of The Moody Blues.

 

i like kansas styx huey lewis and the news journey twisted sister cinderella foghat smashing pumpkins AND manfred mann

 

What about Twisted Sister, Mister Mister, Duran Duran, and Milli Vanilli.

What was that group that did Dirty Deeds DONE! DIRT! CHEAP!? About 25 years later they are still doing the same kinds of songs where they scream 'EEK! EEK! EEK!' for the lyrics.

I don't think anyone has mentioned KISS yet either.

.

 

Pretty cheesy way to get website hits....And your analysis on the worst "18" bands in Rock history is pretty far off from reality. Lets begin:

First off, Journey wasn't the greatest band but they stood there ground and made some damn good songs and weren't just some average hair band, they had a unique sound and they will be remembered for it.

Kansas shouldn't be on the list because of "carry on my wayward son", that might have been there only hit but its one of the greatest rock n' roll songs ever created, wether you want to believe me or not.

And even though reo speedwagon was a bit of a corny band it still produced some classic hits that will also be remembered.

You don't know music my friend...

 

radiohead? hell no. thats the main one i disagree with. smashing pumpkins are not to bad either

 

i agree with every other poster that mentioned the Moody Blues. fuck that list man the Moody Blues are the shit.

 

Nickleback and Creed need to be on the list

 

hinder they're like... a shitty nickleback.

can't get much worse than nickleback, unless you're hinder

 

the moody blues??? radiohead??? manfred mann???it is a matter of taste but you better listen again

 

Queen, Def Leppard, White Snake and The Osmonds can all go into Room 101
as far as I'm concerned.

Must admit though, I've got a soft spot for Asia, they were the first band I got into.

In my mind I know they're shit, but... ahhh, nostalgia is a strong medicine.

 

*snort*.....ahahaha, so harsh...and so true.

 

Hmm, lets see, worst bands in rock history....

Green Day
Modest Mouse
Bloodhound Gang
H.I.M.
The Darkness
The Kinks
Coldplay
Sam Roberts & El Torpedo
System of a Down
Slipknot
Bon Jovi
Good Charlotte
Sum 41
Blink 182
dillinger escape plan
killswitch engage
Billy Joel


... This list could go on forever. I'll stop now.

 

Now hold on a minute, Nirvana were pretty decent.

On the subject of bad bands though, Aqua (my kids loved "Barbie Girl" and "Dr. Jones" but thinking about them gives me a phobic reaction), Ace of Base, The Cardigans, Oasis and Blur all got on my nerves at different times.

 

billy joel is awesome...

and nirvana was never good...
one word.. overrated.

 

Status Quo? Hahahaha, yeah, they make the list. Saw them twice, both times they were the "backup band", and they were pretty terrible live. The last time they had this new routine, the two guitarists would start on either side of the drum riser and run to the front of the stage, crossing each other. Now this was in the days when electric guitars had cords going to the amps, in this case they were reeeeeeaaaaalllly long cords. About the time they crossed each other, one or both cords would snag and unplug the guitars, leaving nothing but bass and drums while they scrambled to untangle things. It gets worse. Apparently, they thought it was still a good idea, so they kept trying it, and each time it screwed up they got a little more pissed off. Ended up with the guitarists in each others' faces screaming ... which most people couldn't hear, since they weren't close enough to the mikes. I guess you had to be there.

:lol:

I don't think King Crimson belongs on the list (even as part of Asia), but a lot of people both now and then didn't understand them. Marilyn Manson tries to be strange ... Robert Fripp was strange.

 

Worst? That's hard to say. 90% of the music sucks these days.

 

Lynyrd Skynyrd? You need to go listen to the ballof of curtis lowe and Tuesday's Gone
