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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

Korn, especially the singer.  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 yellingsinging, it all goes to hell.  Particularly obnoxious is that one song where it's just two or three minutes of him crying and screaming "I f**kING HATE YOU" over and over.

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.

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

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...

The Beatles

-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

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...

All well and good, but I'd put all 3 members of Rush up against all 4 members of Zeppelin.  And, Rush would kick their respective asses, routinely and daily. 

And, I will say this: although I dislike Zeppelin, Bonham is a beast. :wink:

Also, a nomination:
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.

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).

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.

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.

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

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.

I think that considering their enormous impact on everyone from teenyboppers to musical scholars and the fact that 99% of people would disagree with your opinion, you need to put up more of an argument against the Beatles than 'the justin biebers of their time' and 'soulless drivel' . 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...

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

edit: just realised I was thinking of 'I Saw Her Standing There', but I wanna Hold Your Hand also applies...

they also did relatively straight covers of rock'n'roll standards like Twist & Shout etc...

it's a non-argument really!

That's 'cause now YOU don't know what you're talkin' 'bout.   :wink:

I do think it's amusing that somebody could actually consider The Beatles as among the 100 worst musicians of all time. 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. Hate away, and may you live a long and fruitful life hating them. But among the 100 worst musicians of all time? That doesn't even qualify as an opinion.

The Beatles, like Led Zeppelin, Floyd, Sabbath, the punk movement all the way  back when rythm and blues gave way to Rock and Roll and  Rock and has led to the real soul less devoid era of  today was never meant to be royalty, but, a  relection of it's  time. I think everyone see's it  from their  own perspective, Justin Beiber to me is no different  from David Cassidy was to teen and pre-teen girls when I was growing up.  I  don't need to defend the musicianship  of what  can be heard, but, I will say this, todays  music needs  to sample from the era  I grew up in and that says  alot what is  music and what is  soul less and destructive of R&R and other forms in the future.





I'd have a hard time considering JUSTIN BIEBER or DAVID CASSIDY as Rock 'n Roll, whatever era it happens to be.


lol.. True, But, it is pop music, and we were talking about pop music in general  and the teen idol is  part of it. Although, David had better song writers. :smile:

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.

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.

The Beatles

-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.
Hmm..  So, Micheal Jackson and the Beetles are some of the worst musicians of all time. Interesting. 

I just have to ask one question, what's Bizarro World really like?

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...

Well, what I actually wrote was that I don't think she "could ever sing much".   :wink:
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.

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.

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)
