WORST BANDS EVER
WHAT IS THE WORST BAND EVER?
I'm not talking about a solo artist (lucky for you, Vanilla ice) or a duo. The band had to have had 3 or more members.
I'm also not talking about your brother's garage band.. we all know that band sucks.
Candidates under consideration here have had to have sold millions of albums. In other words, they are (or have been) very popular... but still still suck.
This is all in good fun (please, no death threats.. I now how some of you get when your favorite group is attacked).
Have a look at the candidates below and let us know if you think they should be on the "Music Bands That Suck" list... and tell which missing band should be added.
WHICH IS THE WORST BAND EVER?
The B52s "Rock Lobster" tune has led many people to give up shellfish altogether
THE B52s
Whenever I hear a song by the B52s, I lament that someone in the Pentagon didn't have the foresight to send a military plane of the same name to strike the studio where the band recorded its first album. Sadly, that opportunity is has long since passed... and humanity now has to suffer.
Listen to the B52s' historic hit "Rock Lobster" (if you dare)
The Village People.. or a Halloween party gone very wrong??
THE VILLAGE PEOPLE
Medical researchers recently released a study that proved a direct correlation between increased levels of obesity, and the disinclination of people to hit the gym after listening to the Village People song "Y.M.C.A."
This little guy can't sing either
WHITESNAKE
"Burmese pythons" and "Corn snakes" are at times born with a lack of pigmentation that causes them to be white in color. Odd in appearance, these creatures have no musical talent whatsoever. The same can be said for Whitesnake
DURAN DURAN
For the longest time, I thought Duran Duran's song "The Reflex" referred to the natural impulse to vomit when one of their songs came on the radio. Duran Duran was one of the most successful bands in the 1980s... which just goes to show you how bad that decade was musically.
"WIld Boys"
THE GREATFUL DEAD
The loyal fans of this band are collectively known as "Dead Heads". This moniker no doubt has something to do with the vast amount of drugs one must smoke before being able to appreciate their music.
SHA NA NA
Most religious scholars believe that one sure sign the world is coming to an end is the fact that SHA NA NA actually got to perform at Woodstock.
Think of it... you had Hendrix, Joan Baez, Santana, The Who, and SHA NA NA!
Capitalizing on the nostalgia of 1950's Rock n Roll, this group, staring 'Bowser" actually had a hit TV show from 1977 to 1981.
SHA NA NA IN ACTION
NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK
This boy band sold over 80 million albums worldwide. The band was the brainchild of record producer Maurice Starr.. who will no doubt one day face a UN tribunal for crimes against humanity for his leading role in the group's formation
SEE THE DREAMY (NOT SO) NEW KIDS HERE...
Have YOUR say! Which group should be added to, or taken off, this Worst Band Ever list?Loading...
lol... excellent review of some of the crappiest bands ever! (Must have been mind numbing just composing the hub though ;) Duran Duran and New kids definitely top my list too. Still laughing at some of your comments...! Hope you're doing well, take care x
Boys II Men. I was going to say NKOB but you beat me to it. Great hub, thanks for the laugh. ;)
What about ABBA? Super Trooper and Waterloo still make me vomit. And that reflection thing in their logo? They should have been shot for that alone. And Brotherhood of Man - Save all your Kisses for Me, not bloody likely. Boney M were pretty awful. The Spice Girls, 'nuff said there. And just about everything my teenage daughter listens to. Just turn that noise DOWN!
You aren't going to believe this. I actually like the song "YMCA"! (just kidding!)
Cally 2- I was THIS close to putting ABBA on the list.. THIS close
Paradise... If you like it, then I like it too !
What? You don't like "Love Shack"?? Also, I can't believe the Grateful Dead is on this list.
Fun hub. Rated up!
I would eliminate Whitesnake because they were very good musicians even though their music is very dated now. I would also eliminate Grateful Dead - they wee a good band and trust me... I don't do drugs. I would definately include Poison, Cinderella, Kiss and Twisted Sister. Oh, I almost forgot! Flock of Seagulls and Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. That's what you call baaaaaaaaaaaad!
I was close to added Twisted Sister and Poison.. but Kiss has a number of great rock anthems. I'll never the attachment to the Dead..
and I believe that Love Shack is the name of a brothel outside of Reno?? :)
You havent listen to my band Mister.
I thought this was going to be a hub dedicated to Nickelback. I've got to agree on The B52s and the Village People though, those bands were terrible.
Ohhh, please release Duran Duran from this list!!! Maybe you didn't hear "Hungry Like the Wolf"??? PURE POETRY!
Add Bums and Hosers (aka: Guns and Roses) to your list. I think Stryper (rockers for Jesus) might be a trendy collector's piece, but not to listen to...
Fun stuff!
Okay, gonna have to agree with a few of those. The Grateful Dead would not have been on my list, however. Loverboy would have been on there, for sure. The Village People is at the TOP of my "no no" list. But, may I say I feel physically sick when I hear Boy George. His music is just so wrong in so many, many ways. Great work!
Absolutely hysterical. You have a great sense of humor. and I needed a few laughs. Your hubs are so original and may get lots of traffic. Good job, and great writing. I am following you.
I like Duran Duran...the one I don't like is....ok well, never mind
I would add, Anvil, Metallica,
Take the Grateful Dead off the list.
Put the Clash on the list
well that's a good list to start with; I think most of the 80's bands sucked..;-)
pff, whitesnake??
and no nirvana?
fail
Add Billy Squier! Every time I hear "The Stroke" I wanna go out and shoot someone. Preferably Billy himself.
Duran Duran, check.
Other deserving mentions: Pet Shop Boys (there are three members if you count the button that chris lowe pushes on the synth), Styereophonics, System Of A Down, the Cure...
I have a theory that the songs that we hear in our head years later are usually a lot different then how you thought of the original. This entails memory loss as well as a "colorization" of the aural memory that has evolved over time just as our tastes and popular culture have. The way we hear things and the way we process the information changes over time.
Hey, all boy bands belong on this list! The Grateful Dead definitely doesn't, but what the hell let's have some fun. I also produced a similar list and Kiss was the worst ever. Later!

Ha ha nice hub. It's hard to pick best band because even the worse famous bands have their moments. I guess they have to have some talent to get up there. Usually it's the lyrics that really make a band suck!
