Worst band ever?
 

So OOT what semi-popular or even popular bands do you consider the worst of all time. I would have to say my pick is Mindless Self Indulgence the music they record is horrific. I would rather watch a dead cow bake in the sun for 6 days then listen to an entire song by this band.

I was going to say Creed, but someone posted Limp Bizkit and that may be an even better response.

I've never even HEARD of them. I have no idea how they can be described as "semi-popular".

Not worse than Limp Bizkit or Creed, but possibly penned the most asinine lyrics of the last 20 years.

LFO err they might be considered a "boy band"

Re: Worst semi-popular band ever?
 

I actually like a few songs off of Frankenstein Girls are Vaguely Sexy, or whatever that album is called. MSI also does a pretty fun cover of Bring the Pain.

Re: Worst semi-popular band ever?
 

I think Train is up there for worst lyrics ever, and maybe worst band.

"Semi-popular" might be giving them too much credit, but they have been on major labels and performed shows with popular acts.

BEST LYRICS EVER!!!!

Cherry Pez,cold crush,rock star boogie
Used to hate school so I had to play hookie,
Always been hip to the B-boY Style
Known to act wild and make girls smile,
Love New Edition and the Candy Girl
Remind me of you because you rock my world
You come from Georgia where the peaches grow
They drink lemonade and speak real slow

That explains a lot, actually.

I clicked that link to "Bitches" you provided and I stopped the video after about 45 seconds. I can't imagine how bad the songs you DON'T like are.

Yeah, because obviously if Nath hasn't heard of them, they must not exist.

I'd say 75% of the people I've asked know who MSI is.

heh, if you google "worst band in the world" tons of Creed sites come up

Considering the amount of music I listen to, this isn't that bad a litmus test

edit: I forgot to add "also considering my excellent taste"

OK, in all seriousness, it's not like I've been living under a rock-- if someone calls a band "popular" and I've NEVER HEARD OF THEM IN MY LIFE, I feel totally justified questioning that description.

I managed to make it through most of the 90's without hearing this band. A few years ago I went to see Blondie and Public Enemy and that guy's new band was a "special surprise guest". They did all Bush songs, [censored] horrible.

Re: Worst semi-popular band ever?
 

It's one thing to know it but another to admit
We're the worst band in the world
But we don't give a....

If Garbo played guitar with Valentino on the drums
Then we'd be nothing more than a bunch of darma bums
So tune up, tune up

Well we've never done a days work in our life
And our records sell in zillions
It irrigates my heart with greed
To know that you adore me
Up yours, up mine
But up everybody's that takes time -
But we're working on it
Working on it (Ooh)

We never seen the van - leave it to the roadies -
Never met the roadies - leave them in the van
All because of circumstances way beyond control
We became the darlings of this thing called rock and roll, ooh

Here I am a record on a jukebox
A little piece of plastic with a hole, ooh
Play me
Buy me and you play me then my plastic turns to gold

Here we are together on your hi fi
A little piece of plastic with a hole, oh
Fade me, fade me, fade me, fade me...

... 10CC
