Criteria:

 

1) Must have had at least one popular hit.

2) must suck

 

 

My choice: Puddle of Mudd

[Samurai Bucky]

Fine Young Cannibals

[logan82]

Creed

[RockCoCougars]

Tough for me to choose between Candlebox and Bush. Oasis is right up there too. I'll go with Bush.

[bjkrautk]

Creed is already taken? Darn.

 

 

Nickelback.

[tomter38]

Limp Bizkit if they even count or Kiss are mine

[mothershipconnection]

Coldplay

[zurch1818]

Guns and Roses or ACDC

 

I'm going to have to go with Guns and Roses.

[nBo Baseball]

EASY:

#1 Bay City Rollers

#2 Michael Boton and Celen Dion (These Losers MUST Qualifie)

#3 Marjor Tie: New Kids on the Block, Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees and Insync

If anyone here hates me and wants to torure me here's what you do, tie me up, put head phones on me and PLAY THIS CRAP!!!!!

I'LL SWALLOW MY TONGE TO END IT ALL!!!!!

[SmartBall]

yeah they suck, but they aren't really rock bands. Disco and early 90s adult soft rock, its not really stretching to say it is all terrible. Pop music is intolerable. I love the Creed and Nickelback thoughts, truely terrible. Mine are more " I just hate these guys" U2 and Radiohead are two of my least favorite groups ever and yes I am aware that fans of those groups will argue to the death that they are the greatest bands ever, but I hate them and no amount of "but dude, they are so awesome" will ever change that

[nBo Baseball]

On the U2 note, I don't hate them, Just don't like them

Also, What happened to U1 and why does Robin Williams go by the name "Bono" in that band?

[jwaltz]

Nickelback, and Limp Bizkit.

[bigredrobbo]

In order of suckitude

 

Nickelback (they are on their own - in another galaxy of suck, if you will...)

 

The Offspring

Limp Bizkit

My Chemical Romance

Fall Out Boy

Plain White Ts

Basically every band that sounds like the above named 3 bands

Poison

Queensryche

Motley Crue

Aw, hell, all 80s hair metal bands

REO Speedwagon

Nightranger

Pretty much every band on WKLH or The Hog that isn't AC/DC, Zep or Floyd

Any band where the lead singer sounds like the Cookie Monster

[sheetswannabe]

wow, I love offspring..

 

Worst band: Coldplay

[DuWayne Steurer]

Offspring's first album was pretty good, but after that........yeesh.

 

Ok, there seems to be a running theme here, and I'll go with it.

 

Creed

Nickelback

Puddle of Mudd

Bush

Candlebox

Offspring

Green Day

Good Charlotte (Heck, just about any "anthem rock" band nowadays that claims to be "punk", I can't stand)

 

I'm going to say Nirvana also. Kurt Cobain set the art of playing an instrument skillfully back by 15 years. After their first album, record companies were jumping all over anybody who could string 3 crappy chords together while singing about something that pisses them off.

[JoeHova]

The Eagles

 

I know a lot of people disagree but I just can not stand The Eagles. They are the one band that is absolutely banned from my music collection.

 

If we are talking worst in terms of musical skill, I'd have to go with Big Brother & The Holding Company or any of the numerous early-80s hardcore bands but, unlike the Eagles, most of them had redeeming qualities.

 

In terms of worst musical skill among solo artists, the obvious choices are Sid Vicious, GG Allin, and Hasil Adkins. I don't know if any of them had any "hits" though, unless you count songs Sid Vicious actually had nothing to do with.

[Fatter than Joey]

Nickelback (they are on their own - in another galaxy of suck, if you will...)

 

yeah -- hard to argue this. They continue to suck unchecked.

 

Any band where the lead singer sounds like the Cookie Monster

 

I agree -- except I love Cookie Monster's solo efforts "Me Lost Me Cookie in the Boogie Music" is an underrated classic.

 

 

I know a lot of people disagree but I just can not stand The Eagles

 

I hear you -- I was really content when they promised to never reunite. Liars.

 

I have to stick to my thesis that all bands named after geographical locations suck and go with Boston.

[Brian the Automator]

Nickelback, Evanescence

[berniebrewer4life]

Any band where the lead singer sounds like the Cookie Monster

 

Such as Tom Waits? I like the guy, but when i think of the Cookie Monster, i think of this guy.

 

 

[Crazyk1294]

Nickleback, Nickleback, Nickleback...

[JoeHova]

Tom Waits kicks ass. "Cold, Cold Ground", "Way Down In The Hole", "Hoist That Rag", "You Can Never Hold Back Spring", and "The Return Of Jackie & Judy" are some of my favorite songs. His covers of Good Night Irene, Danny Says, and Sea Of Love are also pretty cool.

 

I also really like Oasis. Their last 4 albums have sucked but their first two were legitimately excellent. They're like the Nas of rock, they'll never live up to their early work.

 

AC/DC is another band I have an affinity for, even if they are kind of played out. In their prime they could really bring it. They always seemed like a stripped down Led Zeppelin to me.

 

I don't know if I can really defend Green Day because I hated them during the "Dookie" era but they've grown on me over the years. Warning: is an underrated album and American Idiot really does bring to mind The Who's "A Quick One", to which I've often seen it compared.

 

And I can't leave this thread without saying that Guitar Hero III gave me a new appreciation for Kiss and Poison. Both could definitely be said to suck but I think they have their moments. Both bands are campy and dated but I think they can be guilty pleasures.

[jwill535]

I totally agree with U2, worst band ever. What makes "Edge" such a good guitarist?

[cweber39]

Alien Ant Farm

[tigerbrew]

Worst rock bands for me:

Goo Goo Dolls

Marilyn Manson

Limp Bizkit

Nickelback

 

Other bands that really suck:

Milli Vanlli - their grammy was revoked for fraud

Culture Club - so puking gay

All them boy bands - backstreet boys, boyzone, new kids on the block, nsync, take that, westlife, color me badd... Yuck!

[sgtcluels]

I totally agree with U2, worst band ever. What makes "Edge" such a good guitarist?

 

Have you seen his hat? I mean it's all knitted and stuff.

 

Worst Bands... wow..

 

Creed

Offspring

Limp Bizkit

Anything emo!
