Get thee to a Sleater-Kinney CD!
It’s hard to make a list, but I could probably just list everyone I’ve ever seen open for the Reverend Horton Heat. This would include such acts as You Am I, The Cows, the Voodoo Glow Skulls, the Lunachicks, and–believe it or not–the Goo Goo Dolls. The man rocks my ass, but he sure can’t pick an opening act. (He had the Dance Hall Crashers last time, who weren’t that bad, if you like ska.)
I, too, have a passionate hatred for The Offspring.
I think I’m the only person on this board who actually likes the Dave Matthews Band, although I think they’ve gone somewhat down the crapper in recent years. (I normally can’t stand people who say that about bands–“Man, they used to be so cool, and now they’re just playing to all the poseurs who jumped on the bandwagon. I was there back in the day, man”–but in Dave’s case, it’s not far from the truth.)
Also on the Ten Worst list is the thankfully defunct Cat’s Ass, which featured the guitar and vocal stylings of a young Dr. J. Man alive, we sucked.
Dr. J
I think these threads should just start off in The Pit, that way instead of making snide remarks when someone lists (U2, Van Halen, Rush, Oasis, nameofbandthatisunquestionablygoodgoeshere) as a horrible band, you can say what you really think of them, instead of having to keep it clean enough for IMHO.
Maybe we should have a new forum: IMFHO
In My Flaming Humble Opinion
DoctorJ–the Lunachicks? I think I saw them once in Northampton, Mass. I recall their being very, very bad indeed, but dressed to kill.
Really, though, what someone said earlier is true. This kind of question is better suited to IMHO, since it’s totally opinion. All (OK, most) of the bands mentioned had enough going for them that they had record contracts; certainly there are thousands of garage bands across the nation that are, objectively, “worse” than any of those mentioned.
Whoops, it’s already in IMHO. I meant it should be in the Pit, I guess.
Coldfire - I think that by listing Oasis and Rush, we’re declaring a certain lack of musical talent on their parts. Especially Oasis. Rush, I must admit, has some talented musicians (somewhat), but man, that VOICE! I can’t stand the vocals!
As for Oasis, don’t even get me started about the Gallagher boys - spoiled brats who… Nah, I don’t wanna start a fight with you, Cold. Let’s just say I think they suck and leave it at that. We all have our opinions.
So there. You don’t make me listen to Oasis, and I won’t make you listen to bagpipes. Unless you like bagpipes. Then we can agree on something.
OK, just WHAT may I ask is wrong with Billy Joel and Queen? I adore those bands, always have! I like Smashmouth a good deal too. And why Phil Collins?
OK, my worst band nomination is Everclear, and whoever does that song “Maria, Maria.”
Is there a thread anywhere on worst SONG of all time?
–There really are no other colors, without the blues.
I agree with the person who said that Getty Lee’s vocals ruined the band. I had a boyfriend who worshipped Rush and constantly tried to convert me. The lyrics were nice, I suppose, but Lee’s voice was like listening to someone claw a chalkboard.
For much the same reason I don’t like Bob Dylan. I get frustrated listening to him because I can’t understand a freaking word he sings! “mmabbbb dellf doo.” Huh? Put down the reefer and e-nun-ci-ate, Bob!
