Band/Singer that should retire

[claws]

Came up with the idea after reading about R.E.M. calling it the quits. What band/singer do you think should retire?

Personally I'd like to see Bon Jovi retire but they still are a hot seller when they release new albums so I guess they'll be around for a few more years.

Madonna - I have nothing against her but I think her glory days are long over.

Janet Jackson - seems like she's been struggling the past few years.

[Psycho Circus]

Ozzy Osbourne - His last three albums have been no where near the standard of his earlier output, they were embarrassing infact and he is now a parody of himself. Plus, he never seems to be able to tour these days without getting ill or injuring himself on stage.

Motley Crue - Have only put two albums out in the past decade that weren't very good. Have made stacks of money from touring recently, but they shouldn't be touring as they are an appalling live act.

BulletBoys and Pretty Boy Floyd - Change their line-ups every 2 weeks and still sound like garbage live, even after 20+ years of experience.

I saw them live about 5 years ago, it was horrendous.  Seriously, I've seen local concerts in a hall that were better.

Agreed on Ozzy too...painful.  He seriously looks like an old man in a wig nowadays.  Its just silly.

I'll nominate Aerosmith.  It hurts to do so but the last concert or two I saw them in they go into idiotic blues based jams for 20 minutes at a time.

I nominate:

Metallica: They are an extreme case of a band that should've quit ages ago. Their last truly worthy release was Metallica. After that, they just got worse and WORSE as the years went by. Looking at them now, it's tragic to remember that they were once a kickass thrash band who used to be against selling out. Oh, how they have fallen from grace. 
 
Yngwie Malmsteen: I'll never understand how this guy managed to get through three decades by playing the same scales over and over again. Yngwie, we get it, you can play fast. You made it pretty clear with just the first album. However, just because you can play really fast, that doesn't mean you're the excellent musician that you claim to be. Plus your lyrics are horrendous. Next:
 
Deicide: This band started out with a half decent debut and then just pretty much gave up after that. Glen Benton, cut the juvenile satanic crap and at least TRY to make a decent album for a change.

I agree with everyone as far as Ozzy, Metallica and Deicide (HATED these guys since day one). I'd like to add Cannibal Corpse and Mortician (ugh) to the list. I think pretty much all of their stuff sucks.

Eminem- He isn't funny as he was once was

[HappyGilmore]

Eminem's still great. A serious Eminem is actually a bit better.

[Criswell]

Metallica needs to stop. Nothing they've made since Master of Puppets isn't even worth my time.

Agree with Ozzy Osborne.

all the awful arena rock bands with 1 original member that play at county fairs and haven't released new material in 12 years.

[Flick James]

Eminem's still great. A serious Eminem is actually a bit better.

Outside of his music, I thought his cameo as himself in Funny People was one of the funniest part of that movie.

I didn't even know he was gonna be in it til I saw it at the theater.  Him yelling at Ray Romano was hilarious.

Glad he has apparently stayed sober.  Thought this latest album was his strongest in years.

Rolling Stones

I mean come on, Bill hicks was making jokes about the fact Keith Richards was still alive in the 1980's. In fact are any of them still really alive? or have they been cunningly replaced with remote controlled waxwork replicas, forever destined to be half way through a worldwide stadium tour in a city near you for the rest of eternity... they were releasing albums before 99% of us on here were born, and -no offence- this is probably the messageboard with the oldest average user age I've ever posted on

Skepticism: I may enjoy the cult genre that is funeral doom metal, but these guys bore the ever living crap outta me. While I like a few songs from their debut album, Stormcrowfleet, the rest of their material is a total snoozefest with a capital S.

Journey: Now, I admit that I'm not the biggest Journey fan out there, but I have to admit that they've wrote some pretty amazing stuff. They have my respect for trying to continue without Steve Perry. I hate to say this and sound like an a-hole but they haven't quite been the same since Steve's departure. Look guys, you had a phenominal career, you've made hit songs that'll stand the test of time and I'm pretty sure you have the fortune to show it. Out of respect, I ask for you to please pull the plug and let Journey go.

Can a guy who is headed for 40 still have the same edginess?  I know I don't.

They were the first ones I thought of.
