Oh come on. Van Halen and Aerosmith were at one point one of the greatest rock bands.

I think that's why all 3 are good choices for worst band ever.
Former good or great bands can easily become the worst band ever. Their past greatness becomes a joke when the bands a/o members put out horrible material coasting on their past success, or show themselves to be lame losers instead of the rockers they once were. One era's greatest band ever can easily look like a joke 20 years later.
I think the extreme rise and fall of a band makes them good candidates, along with their aging and lame fans who continue to cling to a band's former glory, unable to recognize time has shown a band to be truly the worst, despite debateable great albums in their past.
Picking Backstreet Boys as the worst ever doesn't make sense to me, because they sucked from day one and nothing has changed.
Aerosmith, the Eagles, and Van Halen have all become the worst bands ever by not quitting when they should have, and instead sticking around to embarass themselves.
