5 worst bands...

[alireggae]

1) Counting Crowes - Urgh, dull and whiney.
2) Abba - insipid pop music that people like because it's 'retro cool'
3) The Beatles - not so much crap as overated and again, I think people like them without thinking about it.
4) The Corrs - A pop band who pretend to be 'real' musicians. If you're going to be pop then admit it and be good like S-Club 7 or some such.
5)Jazz - OK, so this ones a whole genre but this is just wrong notes played at wrong times played by twats and listened to by twats.

Hmmm...., Abba, Beatles and the genre of Jazz - can't wait for you to start another thread w/ your opinion of the best bands.

How old are you?

Ooh, can I play.

5 worst vegetables

1. Brussels sprouts – They are yukkie and small and leafy.

2. Carrots — Very red and gnarly. People only like them because they are so phallic.

3. Peas – They are small and difficult to put on a fork. People only like them because they are cute and not Brussels sprouts.

4. Mange tout – Nobody really knows what a mange tout is but people say they like it because it was fashionable in the '80s. Boo, mange tout.

5. Apples – Not really a vegetable as such but they are overrated and the variety isn't that exciting once you realise they are apples.

[Jah Womble]

How can you say that? Apples are responsible for some of the most innovative desserts we've witnessed over the past four decades. Etc.

[Squarewheelbike]

5 worst bands...

Back on topic!

Queen
Rush
Simply Red
ELP
Adam & The Ants!

[G-Man]

5 worst bands...

Who all do/did what they do/did very well, even if one does not like their sound. So they are not "5 worst bands" (nor, of course, were those in the opening gambit), but five bands one doesn't like much.

Any such list that omits Limp Bizkit is fundamentally flawed.

Let's be honest it's 5 bands you hate the most, which is just as telling as a list of 5 you love the most!

[My Name Is Ian]

5 worst bands...

Can I have The Red Hot Chili Peppers in positions 1 to 5?

[Toby Gymshorts]

Only if I can bagsy Vampire fucking Weekend.

1.Fair enough, I'm with you so far. Man, they are shit, with his stupid dreadlocks, flailing about like he's possessed by evil spirits and he's trying to fling them out through the medium of dance, dressing like he ran head first through TK MAXX and his dreads got in his eyes.

2.Abba, see I personally used to think that they were naff, but then I listened to them when a little older, and started to appreciate the production values, and not only that some of the lyrics which are quite sweet, and not half bad when you consider that they're writing them in a second language! And Waterloo is a stomper of a tune.

3. The Beatles. The only person who I have debated this with who maintains that they are shite is a chap who has a musical project/band named Frankie Thunder and The Butterfly Wings. 'Nuff said.
For me, why I like them, two songs that spring to mind are Norweigan Wood and In my Life, ooh two more, Yesterday and Let It Be. Oh go on then, one more. Here Comes The Sun.

It's their body of work and also the fact three of the four band members went on to enjoy very successful careers in their own right, actually that's enough isn't it? 3 out of 4 band members? That alone is impressive.

4.The Corrs. Erm, yeah, can't fight that one.

5.Jazz? I thought that, thought that was the point of the sketch from the fast show. Then I got schooled. Check this shit out alireggae!
Not a wasted note in the whole song. (I post this as this is the song that won me over to the ways of jazz)

Miles Davis - Generique

What about jazz-funk?

[Hamish! Dougal!]

I prefer dinner jazz.

The Oirish have long running form in the worst bands category. Boyzone, Westlife, B'Witched.

The Darkness, they have to be in there as well.

[Tramp The Dirt Down]

5 worst bands...

In no particular order

Bon Jovi

Oasis

Stone Roses

Belle and Sebastian

Teenage Fanclub

I realise I will get slaughtered for the last 3 selections, but I always find myself turning the radio off when all of the above are being played.

Meaning you don't actually think that? Good.

Phew, that's alright, then.

For a moment there I thought alireggae actually said pointless aerobics cunts S Club 7 were 'good'.

[The Exploding Vole]

5 worst bands...

Pointless Aerobics Cunts, on the other hand, were pretty good until their drummer left.

[Calvert]

5 worst bands...

Yeah, they went downhill badly after Fat Birds In Leotards, I thought.

[Benjm]

5 worst bands...

Tell me about it; FBIL came out a fortnight after I had the PAC logo tattooed on my upper arm.

At least it's the classic logo, not that abomination they introduced on the sleeve of No, Mr Bond, I expect you to sweat.

[The Exploding Vole]

5 worst bands...

That was a shit album, too, although "Pierce the Skull of Baby Jesus" had a certain shock appeal.
