Title: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: diamondwaspvenom on November 24, 2011, 03:32:19 PM Figured we should do a "Top 100 Worst" this time around. Anyway:
The world of music has blessed us with talented musicians whose compositions put a smile on our face. At the same time, there have been many people in the past and present who although like to consider themselves "musicians", are actually devoid of talent. Post up to three musicians you absolutely can't stand. Add some comments about said person if you wish. 1) Sid Vicious (http://www.beertripper.com/OffTopic/RocknRoll/Sid_Vicious/Sid_Vicious_Sneer.jpg) So the thread begins with one of the most infamous bass players of all time. Apparently Sid was so bad that the band made sure that his bass was unplugged during live performances. When even your own bandmates think you suck, you know there's something wrong. Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: El Misfit on November 24, 2011, 06:52:36 PM Soulja Boy- This guy can't rap and has polluted the world with the word Swag.... :hatred:
Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: retrorussell on November 24, 2011, 09:26:44 PM 3. Alannis Morisette. Just horrible. Some people like her, but I just don't see how. She should've just been happy with her "You Can't Do That On Television" fame.
Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: Olivia Bauer on November 25, 2011, 12:25:41 AM Almost every talentless, dime-a-dozen, brainless, prepubescent, high-voiced, obnoxious, over-rated, asinine, soul-less, auto-tuned, god damn child singer I hear on the radio today! :hatred:
(http://i.imgur.com/QHsYl.png) Especially this disgusting little wannabe who has the audacity to call herself an artist. She's about as much of an artist as Adolph Hitler was a philanthropist. Usually I go easy on kids, but when you know you suck and keep singing anyway, that just sickens me. Worst part is that in a few more years all we'll be seeing from the music industry is more high-voiced little s**ts using auto-tune to do the singing for them. P.S. Yes that did used to say music "legend". I Photoshopped that horrid fabrication of the truth. I don't know why it said such a thing, but I'm going to tell you one thing. I'm listening to Freddie Mercury on full blast all night until I go deaf. Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: HappyGilmore on November 25, 2011, 01:30:22 AM O-Town. A little known 'boyband' that popped up around 2000/2001, at the tail end of that teenybopper phase. That phase gave us NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, Hanson. Otown wasn't quite as popular, had some minor hits and faded away.
Most of the others are still around. Off-topic a bit: I give Hanson credit. Even as a teenaged boy band, they wrote all their material and performed their own instruments. They've written some great material now as adults and are a pretty good indie-ish band. Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: voltron on November 25, 2011, 03:42:40 PM 3. Alannis Morisette. Just horrible. Some people like her, but I just don't see how. She should've just been happy with her "You Can't Do That On Television" fame. You got that one right, Russell. Cringe inducing lyrically and musically. She should've stuck with dance music. Are you a fellow Canuck by any chance? :wink: Anyway, my vote goes to pretty much any nu-metal band in general. Thankfully, that stuff is pretty much passe, but alas, we have a reimergence of teeny pop, awful hiphop, and pathetic "rock" music.... :hatred: Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: zombie no.one on November 26, 2011, 01:09:30 PM The Fall just didn't even try to play their instruments

I know this band is (or was) practically worshipped by many but I hate their songs. The music by itself might not be so bad (well, actually, it is) but, once that guy starts
Insane Clown Posse. I remember my cousin Mark buying their very first album, just because of the novelty (hardcore clowns). He listened to about half of it and threw it away. It was that bad. Yet, somehow, twenty years later, they're still at it! And they haven't gotten the slightest bit better in all that time! And there are people who dedicate their lives to these a***oles! I keep waiting for the band to reveal that their entire career was a particularly cruel joke at their fans' expense. Most modern "country". Modern country is completely soulless and extremely cynically designed to appeal to the "blue collar" consumer. Each album is guaranteed to include songs about: American pride/the American flag, supporting the troops, working in a factory/a retail establishment, driving an old car/truck, shopping at Wal-Mart, watching your adorable little kids play, and getting back at that darn ex. Country music these days is purely mass-produced and designed by a marketing team, even moreso than the crap that makes up the Top 40. Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: zombie no.one on November 26, 2011, 08:32:34 PM in my opinion "worst musicians" does not = music you personally don't like. for example I can't stand Dream Theater but I concede they are technically excellent musicians
Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: akiratubo on November 26, 2011, 08:54:44 PM in my opinion "worst musicians" does not = music you personally don't like. for example I can't stand Dream Theater but I concede they are technically excellent musicians Are you trying to claim that Korn and ICP are "technically good"? :buggedout: Anyway, music, like any art, is completely subjective. "Good" and "bad" are different for each listener. In my case, technical quality doesn't matter. The country music I listed above may be fine from a mechanical standpoint but it is artistically bankrupt. That makes it much, much worse than a band that plays off-key and out of time but means it. Furthermore, the very fist post said Quote Post up to three musicians you absolutely can't stand. :twirl:Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: zombie no.one on November 27, 2011, 12:45:03 AM okay fair enough, I suppose that is another way of looking at it. I'm not trying to be a smart ass or anything. just depends how you interpret "devoid of talent". I personally don't like Korn either but they don't strike me as a band who literally can't play their instruments like Sid Vicious, which was the example given... whatever though. I'm not going to think Nuno Bettencourt from Extreme - one of my favourite guitarists of all time - is a terrible musician because he now plays guitar for Rihanna, even though I can't stand her music...

-Soulless drivel -The Justin Biebers of their time -The band that almost single-handedly destroyed Rock and Roll Michael Jackson -A very influential musician indeed, which is one of the reasons today's pop music sucks so much -Generally thought of as a creepy child-molester, but then he dies and all of a sudden he is generally thought of as the second coming of Christ. Bono -Pompous arrogant frontman for one of the most boring bands in the world Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: diamondwaspvenom on November 27, 2011, 09:14:43 PM Interesting list so far.
1) Sid Vicious 2) Soulja Boy 3) Alanis Morissette 4) Rebecca Black 5) O-Town 6) (Insert random generic Nu-Metal Band here) 7) The Fall 8) The drummer from The Shaggs 9) Korn 10) Insane Clown Posse 11) (Insert random generic Modern Country Band here) 12) Florence Foster Jenkins 13) My Chemical Romance 14) The Beatles 15) Michael Jackson 16) Bono Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: akiratubo on November 27, 2011, 10:29:12 PM 11) (Insert random generic Modern Country Band here) Go ahead and pull that one off. I was really just on a tangent about the state of the industry in general. An actual person or group should occupy the spot. Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: HappyGilmore on November 27, 2011, 11:38:29 PM I'd go ahead and say Led Zeppelin are pretty bad. Most disagree, but I find them painfully dull and uninteresting.
Also: Limp Bizkit are pretty damned bad as well. Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: zombie no.one on November 28, 2011, 01:21:25 AM I'd go ahead and say Led Zeppelin are pretty bad. Most disagree, but I find them painfully dull and uninteresting. yeah I think you might be on your own there. John bonham is frequently voted the best drummer of all time. Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and Jon Paul Jones always figure high in best-of lists for guitarist, singer, and bassist respectively. even when voted for by other musicians... as for The Beatles... well, that's an interesting choice Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: claws on November 28, 2011, 01:31:19 AM Lady Gaga. She's a thief with no ounce of originality. The scary thing is, people don't care and continue to buy/like her music. She got everyone fooled :bluesad:

Most disagree, but I find them painfully dull and uninteresting. *high five* It's mostly Robert Plant. Replace him with someone who could sing instead of shriek and Led Zeppelin would probably be listenable. Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: zombie no.one on November 28, 2011, 12:41:51 PM fair enough if you don't like his voice period, but of course Plant could sing without shreiking...

Rucka Rucka Ali--a rapper, who fancies himself an 'adult' version of "Weird Al", only without the talent, and infuses racism in place of 'jokes.' I like some of his songs, but he's pretty bad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iORpLPmFfHU&oref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fresults%3Fsearch_query%3DRucka%2BRucka%2BAli%26oq%3DRucka%2BRucka%2BAli%26aq%3Df%26aqi%3Dg4g-s1g5%26aql%3D%26gs_sm%3De%26gs_upl%3D9720l13976l0l14259l15l11l0l9l9l0l913l1564l5-1.1l2l0 Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: zombie no.one on November 29, 2011, 02:58:30 AM Nickleback...um hello?

Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: El Misfit on December 13, 2011, 08:49:04 PM 1) Sid Vicious
2) Soulja Boy 3) Alanis Morissette 4) Rebecca Black 5) O-Town 6) (Insert random generic Nu-Metal Band here) 7) The Fall 8) The drummer from The Shaggs 9) Korn 10) Insane Clown Posse 11) (Insert random generic Modern Country Band here) 12) Florence Foster Jenkins 13) My Chemical Romance 14) The Beatles 15) Michael Jackson 16) Bono 17) Led Zeppelin 18) Limp Bizkit 19) Lady Gaga 20) Billy Ray Cyrus 21) Nickelback 22) Justin Bieber 23) Design The Skyline 24) Rucka Rucka Ali Limp Bizkit was already mentioned. 25) Axl Rose- He can't sing worth crap and drags Guns 'n' roses down! Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: 66Crush on March 14, 2012, 01:34:01 AM Sorry but I'm going to pick apart this list.
Sid Vicious- Not really a musician more of a figurehead. Alanis Morissette- Even if you don't like her voice, she is a talented songwriter. Korn- Don't like Johnathan Davis as a singer, but the musicians are good players. My Chemical Romance- Just because emo isn't your thing, doesn't mean they aren't decent musicians The Beatles- Are you on crack? It's cool if you don't like them, but they are great musicians and songwriters. Michael Jackson- Never liked him or his music, but the fact is the guy could sing. Bono- Douche, but he can sing. Led Zeppelin- This one just erks me! These guys are great players! Justin Bieber- I hate the kid and it pains me to say this, but the little brat's got talent. I agree with Rebecca Black, Insane Clown Posse, Limp Bizkit, and Axl as a singer (but not G'nR as a whole). Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: Keir on March 14, 2012, 09:05:13 AM The trouble with any thread like this is that the true "worst musicians" are people most of us have never heard. Even narrowing it down to those who actually recorded and released albums you have atrocities like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDIDO9PTvXw I could do my own Top 100 list of just bands like that, and that is just within the hard rock/metal genre. However, typically what you get, and what you have here, is a list of the most overrated musicians because those are the ones everyone has heard. As much as I agree with the complaints about the current state of commercial music, you have to have at least a little talent to get on the radio. And simply by the nature of the word, the more overrated you think someone is, the more people there are who will disagree with you. Case in point: The Beatles. Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: Frank81 on March 14, 2012, 12:00:22 PM Figured we should do a "Top 100 Worst" this time around. Anyway: The world of music has blessed us with talented musicians whose compositions put a smile on our face. At the same time, there have been many people in the past and present who although like to consider themselves "musicians", are actually devoid of talent. Post up to three musicians you absolutely can't stand. Add some comments about said person if you wish. 1) Sid Vicious ([url]http://www.beertripper.com/OffTopic/RocknRoll/Sid_Vicious/Sid_Vicious_Sneer.jpg[/url]) So the thread begins with one of the most infamous bass players of all time. Apparently Sid was so bad that the band made sure that his bass was unplugged during live performances. When even your own bandmates think you suck, you know there's something wrong. To be fair to Sid, he was a performer, like performance art, he never claimed to be a miscian, if anything, the Pistols were a statement of 'anti-music' as it had become, stylised and stadium rock. It did bring rock back to it'0s roots, which, was people with something to say who happened to pick up musical instruments. Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: Frank81 on March 14, 2012, 12:04:42 PM Led Zeppelin, The Beatles... :twirl: Led Zeppelin remains one iof the greats in my book, of course, I saw them live and grew up listening to them and The Beatles, so like any iof these best of/worst of lists it's more based on the age of the listener and their memories. But, I would stack any band before say, 1985, with any of what passes for music and musicians these days which mostly are pretty bad
Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: 66Crush on March 18, 2012, 12:12:00 AM I agree that once you did actually have to have talent to be signed to record deal and have your music played on the radio. But sadly, today we have artist like William Hung. Who to my knowledge is the first person in history to be signed to a record deal BECAUSE he was a terrible singer. It shows you the power of shows like "American Idol." The really bad part is that artist like Hung and Rebecca Black are so media savy, that their music has a better chance of being heard than some artist who have genuine talent. In Miss Black's case it was her father's money that got her music promoted. Sadly, money and sex appeal are other factors that go into making some of the worst music out there.

If you can actually say why you think they "destroyed rock'n'roll" then it would help your cause. I'd be interested to know, anyway...
Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: Rev. Powell on March 21, 2012, 04:30:55 PM I think rock and roll was pretty damn boring before the Beatles---if they destroyed it, then good for them!
Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: zombie no.one on March 21, 2012, 05:44:19 PM they were certainly influenced by it. I highly doubt they set out to destroy it. tracks like I Wanna Hold Your Hand are very rock'n'roll

That's just silly. That's my general problem with trying to identify best and worst in music. It has nothing to do with hating the Beatles.

My twin sister calls them "The World's Most Famous Mediocre Band" and I must agree. That's 'cause now YOU don't know what you're talkin' 'bout. :wink:[/quote] Hey! :teddyr: Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: Allhallowsday on March 23, 2012, 03:33:26 PM I write in time lapse. :twirl: i Hey! :teddyr: Okay, I'll behave. :lookingup: :bluesad: :wink: :thumbup:Getting back on topic, I don't think DIANA ROSS could ever sing much. I like and owned on vinyl a couple of her records; I like DIANA ROSS as a person. But man, she proved on American Idol she can no longer sing if she ever could: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzX71lRZp9w sorry. p. u. I like bad music as much as bad movies; I don't mind CHER much. Can't sing, though. Not really. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr4f1FYO4Ag Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: El Misfit on March 23, 2012, 04:52:56 PM I think I've found a serious contender, check LIL WAYNE playing guitar [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMvt4XAexPs[/url] [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smb8tMeRTQQ[/url] just feel the emotion in that playing :teddyr: what emotion? The bored emotion? :wink: :teddyr: getting back on track, I'll put Chris Brown on the list. he's the modern Ike Turner, plus he's just flat ignorant about the incident- didn't learn anything, didn't have any remorse, should burn in Hell until he learns his lesson. Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: Allhallowsday on April 01, 2012, 09:11:25 PM Worst musicians might be about choices, and not ability: NICKELBACK and their studio musicians can play...
ugh :thumbdown: :bluesad: I don't like them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB0DU4DoPP4 Since lots of people buy their records, like they did THE BEATLES, there must be a corollary...??? :question: no.

There's quite a few Nickelback haters out there and it's pretty easy to single them out, but I think it's totally justified. They are one of many who are a good example of what's wrong with popular music these days.

She may have lost it a bit now ( I don't watch American Idol so not seen that performance ), but personally speaking I think she has/had incredible talent. Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: Chainsawmidget on April 07, 2012, 11:46:14 PM The Beatles Hmm.. So, Micheal Jackson and the Beetles are some of the worst musicians of all time. Interesting. -Soulless drivel -The Justin Biebers of their time -The band that almost single-handedly destroyed Rock and Roll Michael Jackson -A very influential musician indeed, which is one of the reasons today's pop music sucks so much -Generally thought of as a creepy child-molester, but then he dies and all of a sudden he is generally thought of as the second coming of Christ. I just have to ask one question, what's Bizarro World really like? Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: zombie no.one on April 08, 2012, 08:59:09 AM few years ago some random guy in a record shop I was in started barking on about jimi hendrix being a poor musician. this guy's main point was that jimi hendrix couldn't play the same thing twice? that was an odd one...

As great and numerous as their hit records are, I can't stand THE SUPREMES pretty much either, and it is not a hatin' on DIANA thing at all. Like I wrote, I like 'er. I'm just over them. And her solo records. THE SUPREMES had a sound, no doubt, but the singing is not that great... DIANA was the weakest singer of the three.

No need to be insulting, that's a real Gene Simmons move. Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: Pilgermann on August 23, 2012, 11:41:22 PM I'm not crazy about the approach some are taking. Disliking a band is one thing, I know not everyone loves the Beatles or Led Zeppelin (I'm not a big Zeppelin fan myself [but I also haven't really properly explored their music]) but to fail to acknowledge their importance or abilities is ridiculous. Anywho...
Can we all agree on Creed? And can we start numbering these? I don't know what number my choice would be. Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: Rev. Powell on August 24, 2012, 09:45:29 AM Answered you by PM so as not to pollute the thread further.
Title: Re: Top 100 Worst Musicians of All Time Post by: Guy on September 10, 2012, 05:50:30 PM I can't believe some people have the audacity to put THE FIRST SUPER BAND (led zeppelin) as one of the 100 worst musicians of all time. Just because you may not like their style doesn't mean they are bad. Can you play a 12 string guitar? Can you play the drums in a song with a broken rhythm? Do you even know anything about music? I'm sorry but the stupidity is just overwhelming... Michael Jackson!!!????? OK, he tarnished his image during his career but my god, he is the king of pop. The guy could sing, write songs, and put on a show (a great dancer as well). I thought the discussion was worst musicians of all time, not lets be a rebel and try to look cool as we name obvious great contributors to the music world as our worst musicians of all time. I'm not even going to start on the Beatles and why they shouldn't be on this list, we would be here a while.
HERE ARE SOME ACTUAL HORRIBLE MUSICIANS THAT DESERVE TO MAKE THE LIST: Nicki Minaj Ashlee Simpson Avril Lavigne Kevin Federline Starship Baha Men David Hasselhoff Aaron Carter Milli Vanilli Because I understand what the thread is about (worst musicians, not musicians you don't like and think are the worst) I will now list musicians who probably aren't in the 100 worst ever but I think are horrible. Lil Wayne Good Charlotte (basically any band that just ripped the punk image go ahead and list them here as well) Nickelback Drake Hole (I REALLY HATE COURTNEY LOVE) Justin Beiber (I know he was listed before but I can't tell if his target market enjoys his music or not) |
