most awful rock bands

moe_sizlak

how about a thread of the worst rock bands

for me the 1st two that spring to mind are
bon jovi and the band that make bon jovi seem cool , nickleback

mike65

Wow shooting range material!

Almost any spandex/permahair band from Los Angeles, the Alarm, The Cranberries, Hothouse Flowers, and that band who thought they were the next U2 but in fact were not (Dublin mid 80s flopped).

Aslan thats who escaped my memory. Shudders.

Mike.

Raekwon

The Darkness. How gay were they?

Nailz

Lordi, but in all fairness they were taking the piss. Nickleback I agree with, they're awful! Emmm, that band that singing "Elvis isn't dead", oh Jayzus I hate them, they're seriously shìt!! A 3 year old could write that! But I wouldn't have them down as Rock personaly but I just taught of 'em.

EDIT: If U2 are considered rock, then them aswell.

In fairness the Darkness were just taking the piss they were basically a younger version of Spinal Tap:D

Nightwish

Where do I start - pretty much all indie rock bands ie The Fray, The Feeling, Arctic Monkeys etc. U2, if they are defined as rock. Nickleback are tragic. I liked the Darkness, a bit of theatre can be good. They were excellent live too.

DominoDub

I know this will piss off some ,,I but two bands that I just don't get or connect with are :

Manic Street Preachers & MUSE

I have friends who are fans , and I have tried to listen to them but never feel it !

leincar

POISON, by name and nature!!

Also from that country that rock music forgot DIE TOTEN HOSEN!

Aiming for thread with most posts?

Yep. Most recent bands that start with a big THE are usually pretty dire I find. I just block them all out at this point.

Your username is after throwing up a whole other load of bands I can't stand I'm afraid.

Nightwish, Evanescence, Lacuna Coil, Within Temptation...the whole howling female vocalist thing makes me want to tear my ears off. It's horrid.

irish_bob

Most generic sounding indie bands

yeah your missing the point, theyve some great songs

orestes

I gotta agree with all of the "the xxx" bands and all the other bands from the recent indie thing, they all sound pretty much the same to me and they all suck imo

Particularly the fray though, man I'd love 5 minutes alone with the lead singer :mad:

Never liked them at all myself. They've sold more records than Led Zeppelin? I was unaware of that. Must be a statistical error...! :eek:

Have to admire Nickelback - they've shocked everyone by surpassing the success of their biggest hit 'How You Remind Me' with their new one 'Rockstar'.
It wasn't even supposed to be released as a single.

Absolute sh*te:
Nickleback
U2
Nightwish
Evanescence
Enter Shikari
Aslan

Horribly overrated:
Led Zepplin

there album back in black from 1980 is the 2nd biggest selling album of all time after thriller
40 million

Driver 8

Snow Patrol

Good lord, if i never hear Chasing Cars again it'll be too soon. Not liking the current trend which Snow Patrol exemplify of being a bit "sad and emotional". It's cringeworthy teenage poetry set to coma-inducing music. It's not good, not good at all...

Creature

Green Day and The Offspring.

MonkeyTennis

manOwar... Beyond my comprehension.

Doctor DooM

I think there's no point in mentioning the "the" bands as I dont see anyone here defending them...

I agree about Ac/Dc. Theres nothing too them.

callaway92

Paramore...SHUDDERS...

GLaDOS

I quite like Nightwish. Though I only have one of their albums, some of the instrumental work is amazing. Not the biggest fan of the singer(the old one, havent really listened to the new one) but there's more to music than vocals .

eamon234

Manic Street Preachers. Pretentious arses.

Overrated:

What does old matter?
Does music have to new to be considered good?
So that means Beethoven is just a waste of airwaves??

Sinfonia

I've said it before and I'll say it again.
There are no worse bands than these two:
Hard-Fi
Good Charlotte

Jimbo

Portishead are not rock

Radiohead, i would not consider rock. And would certainly not consider overrated or awful. Not by a long shot.

Bren_M.Records

I remember that track The Final Countdown used to always freak me out.
Wre they called Europe?

Dunno about their debut. I bought 12 Dreams a while back and was let down. Way too much hype about that album imho.

[IMHO]Well whatever they are, they're pretty poor[/IMHO]

12 Dream is brilliant - how can one not thrill to the tumble of sonic brilliance from start to finish? No? Oh well.

Tried to go back to it there last week but it just wasn't happening.

Lost Prophets, so awful, waste of space.

dr.bollocko

The friggin Eagles. Man the Eagles suck with that one song of theirs. Does my feckin head in. And the Black Crowes. Why are those ****ers famous?
Ditto on any of those hard rock bands with the shrieking female lead singer thing, just bloody go the hell away.
And Primus. Who in the hell decided that Primus were worth listening to.
Actually Primus are a representative of all that skater punk / rock nonsense from which so few bands emerge with any respect.


And who in the hell ever said that Led Zeppelin, the Who, Pink Floyd, the Stones and the Doors are over rated can eat my ass for dinner. Seriously, that is the worst thing I have ever read on the internets. They arent over-rated, you just dont know anything about music.

In my opinion they are overrated. Not a chance of me even downloading one of their albums. I understand the nostalgia people have towards these bands but to me the style of music is b*llox and it bores me.
