Astrojanitor Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 And I liked Creed. My Own Prison was a great album. no. no it isn't.
Astrojanitor Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Really? all that proves is people like ****ty music
el Tigre Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 The 80's absolutely sucked music wise. You're right about that. A whole lot of garbage music was made in the 80's. The whole heavy metal/hair band genre makes me puke. Motley Crew - that's another HORRIBLE band.
Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Nickelback is the worst band of the last decade. Creed was the worst band of the 1990's. Now if you want to go even farther back you have to look at Air Supply, Nelson, Dam Yankees, Warrant, the Spin Doctors, and REO Speed Wagon. Also the worst musician ever is Kenny G by far. I can get with everything you said until the end there. He may look as straight as a square, but he sure as hell isn't even close to being a bad musician. The guy is a really good sax player, and I don't really see how that's disputable at all. There's a difference between looking queer and sucking, i.e. Hansen, and looking queer and being a good musician, i.e. Kenny G. They don't go hand-in-hand.
Delete This Account Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 it was sometime in the mid-90s, and a friend and i hit this dingy rock bar on vancouver's south side on a friday night, and it just so happened that fickleback ... oops, pennyback, .... damn, something wrong with this keyboard ... crapback ... was playing. they were big on the vancouver club scene back then, and we didn't know anything about them. it wasn't so much going to see them, but just to go out and have a bunch of beers. well, as the night drew to a close, and the last song had been played, or so we thought, the lead singer gets to the microphone and begs the people in the place to clap for an encore. to which someone at our table got up and yelled: "get off the stage, you guys suck." at which point they did, in fact, leave the stage. well, they showed us by eventually making it big. and yet, they still suck. it was an immemorable night, if not for how it ended. jw
Jim in Anchorage Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Nickelback is the worst band of the last decade. Creed was the worst band of the 1990's.

Great, you made me think of bread with the air supply reference. Who would name a band Bread? And don't mess with Ted
The Poojer Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 yeah, perhaps my post wasn't clear as i left out a very important couple of words...my post should have read '....Nickleback stole from Creed and Creed is the worst band in the world....'.....That would have made my big word more appropriate as to my intended usage Hey, sorry to play Miss Grundy here, but do you know what "penultimate" really means? It doesn't mean the latest and greatest. It means "second to last". How the hell somebody came up with a word for second last I'll never know. It is a pretty hard word to use correctly. Sorry for the correction, Pooj, but now you can whip this "penultimate" gag on people at work.
Live&DieBillsFootball Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Reminds me of a joke: What's the difference between the Spice Girls movie and a porno flick? The porno flick has better music. I also vote Nickelcrap as the worst band ever.
DrDawkinstein Posted January 8, 2010 Author Posted January 8, 2010 agreed that Creed WAS the worst band, until Nickelback came along. i just thought it was funny that someone made that website in my OP
DaGimp Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 wow does everybody feel superior now that they've put this band down? I don't love this band but i like a few songs, however, i can't stand when the "Mike Schopp" types start putting down things because it makes them feel smarter than everybody else.

Hazed and Amuzed Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Here check this out; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2pXfAK8r1k Talk about using the same formula, maybe they're just lazy.
The Avenger Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 I'm with you on Nickleback - always categorized them as "Butt Rock"...... I'd also nominate No Doubt - another band I think has almost no talent but certainly fits the record company formula. Have you ever listened to "Hey Baby"? Are those not the worst lyrics ever? If Gwen wasn't hot that band wouldn't be anywhere at all....
Bullpen Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 I think that's being a bit harsh on Damn Yankees, personally. Now, Jackyl, or Ratt, or White Lion... ugh... completely unlistenable... all of the above. I'd also nominate No Doubt - another band I think has almost no talent but certainly fits the record company formula. Have you ever listened to "Hey Baby"? Are those not the worst lyrics ever? If Gwen wasn't hot that band wouldn't be anywhere at all.... Agree 100% Gwen is about all they have going for them and the three guys have to know that. I would like to submit for your consideration, the work of "The Blackeyed Peas" Almost the exact same as No Doubt, just swap Gwen for Fergie. Horrible music...
LongLiveRalph Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 I don't know why it matters. There are more avenues than ever to hear music, you can pretty much take any computer with Internet access and listen to exactly the bands and songs that you want to hear. It takes all kinds of people and bands and art and clothing and hair colors and on and on...Variety makes the world a great place!! I hate Nickelback but I don't think any band could possibly or should possibly qualify as the worst. Just because somebody doesn't like my tunes and I don't like theirs doesn't mean that either of us are right or wrong. Those who enjoy Nickelback and buy their albums are certainly entitled to do so. That person won't hear Nickelback in my car if I'm driving, but if I'm riding with them, who am I to tell them what they should like to listen to? Plastic Ono Band is godawful noise.

Music and musical taste is all personal preference. and to each their own. again, i just thought the link i put in my OP was pretty funny. but if there was a real way to rank them, id make a good argument for NB/Creed if given the chance
Fezmid Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 feel superior? superior over what? the band sucks, their songs suck, the music sucks, the lyrics suck even worse. its record label generated, pay-for-play radio garbage. no one feels smarter for ripping Nickelback. actually, im fairly certain we're all dumber for having listened to their music. and we're hardly the only ones that feel this way: http://www.collegehumor.com/article:1792877 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7F3O6WYfHQ And that proves what, exactly? I vote the Beatles as the worst band ever. Why? Because there's a website that backs me up. http://www.areddy.net/beatles_suck/ The Monkees were "pay-for-play radio garbage" as well - and they even had a TV show from it! Do they suck too? Are they better than Nickelback?
