Definitely Steven Seagal in that reggae song he did. This one.
I will upvote but I do not dare press the link. Yikes.
Someone I know listens exclusively to the Beatles on the car radio. From all the Beatles hype, it should feel like a party, but instead it feels like you’re listening to jingle commercials during the whole ride.
Probably doesn’t help that they’re so popular that their music was licensed and became synonymous with commercials.
Same thing with the doors and all things Vietnam.
Oh my God THANK YOU! You just described exactly how I feel about them and I’ve never been able to really figure out why they bothered me.
Really surprised that no one’s mentioned Yoko Ono.
Is there a band called Yoko Ono? I ask, because I’m fairly sure there isn’t a singer.
Not a good singer, for sure. Here’s her wikipedia page, and if you want to hear her “singing”, check out the Beatles documentary “Get Back”.
Did you honestly think from my comment that I didn’t know who Yoko Ono was?
I was saying that whatever noises she makes, she isn’t a singer. Therefore she doesn’t qualify for a mention in the “worst band or singer” category.
I couldn’t tell, so the gamble was either I get whooshed, or I help someone become one of today’s lucky 10,000. I guess I got the former, lol.
The Plastic Ono Band… It is not good.
She’s really not that bad if you’ve ever heard Linkin park.
But claims that we the best music…I am now disillusioned.
Another one
Congratulations, you played yourself.
Corey Feldman’s Angelic 2 the Core is without a doubt the worst album I’ve ever listened to. It is not just mediocre or underwhelming, it is not just a “miss,” it is actively and unforgettably horrible. Definitely worth checking out.
Ahh. The licorice jelly bean of music.
“Gross… here, try it”
angelic 2 the core is one of the only albums i’ve ever listened to that is so bad i enjoyed listening through the whole thing. i feel like most people understand that feeling with movies, but this one album is the only time i’ve felt it with music.
Yup, it’s “The Room” of music

I think he’d have one thing to say
“The joke Is on you!”
The worst recorded sound that I have ever heard was Kurt Cobain doing a mic check on a Nirvana live bootleg. Like a tortured cat with laryngitis.

The best thing about Nirvana is the Foo Fighters.
Sizzling hot take, lol
I call 'em like I see 'em. ;)
MOR version of Nirvana with a less dead singer so they can tour.
I wouldn’t say the Foo Fighters are any kind of Nirvana, let alone a MOR version. There are a lot of significant differences between the two. Probably the biggest one being that the Foo Fighters have a decent number of songs that are listenable from beginning to end, whereas Nirvana only ever came close once with Lithium, but still fucked it up by making the bridge vacant gaze, drooling mouth agape level stupid.
I posted it in reply to another comment, but I think this is worth it’s own mention.
Sweet… Jesus…
Easily the lead singer of Kings of Leon. That whine in his voice makes me want to chug bleach.
Hi there.
Rebecca Black.
Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band. It’s essentially unlistenable.
It ain’t easy listening, but there’s nothing else like it. Pretty interesting how it was made.
Can’t agree more. I’ve got it in my collection but (after many years and many attempts) I simply can’t make heads or tails of it.
It’s a journey for sure!
It’s so goddamn janky that I was floored Safe As Milk was normal 60s fare.
Smashmouth
Hey now…
Because unless you saw them live, where the lead singer was probably drunk, they’re a legitimately good band with a solid discography. It’s not even a Nickelback / Creed situation where the common consensus is to shit on them - they’re just overexposed for their few top-100 hits.
“All Star” in particular is a self-aware criticism of people who give people shit for listening to Smash Mouth.
Yeah. Live at an Edgefest. It’s was bad. Really really bad.
Guns and Roses in '91 or so. God I loved them so, every song. When we got a chance to see them in OKC, with some band I’d never heard of, Crashing Gourds?, something like that.
We were tripping acid and the crowd was wild, should have been fun. They came out 2-hours late, screamed shit into the microphone, beat their instruments and left. Sometimes I couldn’t even tell which song they were playing, that bad.
And worse, the opening band, who later became wildly popular, was apparently booed. We were late and had missed them.
Crashing Gourds?, something like that
Smashing Pumpkins?
Probably not.
Yeah I saw them around that time and they were awful here too. Also the venue had really bad sound.
I have been fighting my way through the "1,001 albums you must listen to before you die’ list, and there have been some truly terrible albums.
New York Dolls, debut album
Brian Eno, my life in the bush of ghosts
Marquee Moon, television
Slade, slayed?
Sugarcube, life’s too good
Barry Adamson, Oedipus Schmoedipus
Animal collective, Merriweather Post Pavilion
Heaven 17, Penthouse And Pavement
And the worst album I have ever heard on my life, king of garbage music Lou Reed and his garbage band of notmusic and pretention: The velvet underground, The Velvet Underground & Nico
Wash your mouth out with carbolic.
Music is subjective, I like some of the albums you listed, but I agree that the 1001 list is trash full of terrible albums. I made it through 142 before giving up.
aha a fellow 1001 albums listener. im currently doing it too. the heaven 17 album is one of my favorite discoveries. ill drop my 1 star ratings here let me know if i hate one of your favs lol
rolling stones debut
cheap thrills by big brother
gorillaz debut
young americans by bowie
untitled black is by sault
461 ocean boulevard by eric clapton
Damn! I haven’t gotten any of those yet, but I think we might need to fight a little when I do! I’ll save this and get back to you!
new 1 star album, 461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Really? Wow.
New one for me: treasure by the cocteau twins
i can see why thatd be 1 star for someone, i thought that album had some good songs though
I’ve only rated the velvet underground and nico album one star because I personally don’t consider it actual music. Because of that, I have a hard time rating music I “just don’t like” as one star because it’s recognizable to me as music. So, I rated this one two stars.
I was surprised to see you rated a Clapton album so poorly because I like him (musically) quite a bit. We have really different tastes, and I think it’s cool to know there is stuff that absolutely is not for me that is a five star album for someone else
im only around 200 in so there will be more ! ill updated my comment if i get any more 1 stars
I like a fair amount of Bowie, but Young Americans is a truly grating song.
Animal Collective, there is an artist I felt like I got conned into buying
Animal collective, Merriweather Post Pavilion
For anyone else who had a visceral “fuck right off” reaction to such slander, check out This Town Needs Guns’s Animals and/or As Tall As Lions’s self-titled album.
And-- you felt robbed by the twee album from Bjork’s first band? “Birthday” alone is reason to respect that record. Get your head on straight.
album from Bjork’s first band
Yeah, I tried. I just couldn’t enjoy it all. Maybe I have pedestrian tastes or just don’t “get it,” but whatever the case, all of those were very unenjoyable to me.
I was actually at a function last night talking music with a group of folks, and a couple folks chastised me for not liking the velvet underground with Nico album as well. It’s all good; I’m not claiming to be a music critic or anything and y’all still get to love albums I can’t stand
Linkin Park and Papa Roach. 2 okISH bands with the worst singers in music history. Shit gives me headaches.
When I heard the Tool cover of No Quarter and found out the original was by Led Zeppelin I gave that version a spin too. My disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined.
Reason being that I really like the Led Zeppelin vocalist. But his performance on that song is just unbearable to me.
The Tool cover though, absolutely amazing!
