Horrible bands that time forgot
Dennisdread:
I'm curious now as to whether it could actually be worse than the Shaggs 'offering'. I'm wondering about something else too...
..."we listened to the Shaggs for hours..." I found the Shaggs to be unlistenable, well, all except for 'My Companion' that is... so I'm wondering how this can be as well? I mean bad music isn't like bad acting. Whereas bad acting can be fun to witness, bad music is just painful.
But as I do happen to have a tape of their music here, I'm game to try it again...maybe I'm mellow enough to get all the way through it this time.
I don't know though...

I dunno, I'm really not sure bad acting is better or worse than bad music. Bad music can obviously be annoying, but with bad acting I sometimes start to feel kind of bad for the actors after a while. It's like I become mortified by osmosis, which is probably why I'm not a huge fan of "It's so bad it's good!" cult movies.
Dennisdread:
Here's the thing though...movies and plays, are about stories...the acting itself is secondary.
Music on the other hand is about the music...if it's bad...well what else is there? With Punk, there was energy and attitude. With Pop, there's packaging. With your kid(or yourself) there's the investment...as in "I'll listen to this crap because I really want, or want my kid, to get better".
With the Shaggs, I didn't ever care, so I had no reason to listen to the dischordant noise over and over again.
I am however genuinely intrigued by these people that say they can, or have, or did, or like them unironically. I want to explore this a little more. And dammit, I can't find my tape now either...!!!
Ugh! Too much Crap in this joint!! Well it's around here somewhere...I'll find it...
Alex C:
Bad acting can quickly and easily render the story superfluous, just as a bad song can have narrative lyrics but lose all of its power due to the hackneyed delivery.
