Thread: The ten worst bands in the history of rock music

Fozzy, you know I'm not attempting to turn a matter of taste into a matter of facts.

The only thing that can be stated confidently is that millions of people have absolutely no taste whatsoever, particularly when it comes to music. Therefore the argument that something popular cannot be shit must be either idiotic or willfully obtuse.

Whichever it is, I'll pass.

Shit is great

The popularity of music is a reflection of marketing by record labels. The largest profits are generated in the teen demographic group. Therefore the marketing focus remains on this group and they drive what is considered good within a contemporary time frame. As we age we move out of the target and our tastes are not promoted as much and become less significant to the music industry.
Anybody here a fan of One Direction?

Point taken.



Is One Direction a poove?

MTV killed off a helluva lot of good pop / rock music. After MTV, it was more about the video than the band or the music. Less talented acts but with better visual appeal (most of the OP's top 10, and currently any top 10) came to the fore. Simple songs-w/ simple sentiment lyrics-simpletons buying it up in droves.

The 1910 Fruitgum Company.

SHITE.

I'll propose queen as the worst band - who the hell wants to listen to a bunch of virgin drama queens, fronted by a woggy looking aids riddled faggot ?
Not many people these days .
I'm glad taste has moved on .

I hink Freddy Mercury should be knighted by the Queen

Dave Matthews was not of this era nor false MTV promotion...

Yet, has a extremely popular following without the use of mainstream.

^So does Big Head Todd

Even now, this song makes me grit and grind my teeth and want to kick fuck out of klong toeys audio equipment.

Out of all the fantastic songs in 1969, that one was #1 in UK when I was born. Sickening

As for that list, I like half the bands on it.... Guess I'd better get me coat
