I think "The Apologists" would be a good band name. But anyway:

Use this thread to apologize for any band or artist who brings you national shame.

I would like to apologize for Celine Dion and the rock'n'roll black hole that is Bryan Adams.

"Apologize for your Country" would make a good band name, too.  Better than The Apologists, even.

Depends on genre, of course.  The Apologists sound punk.  Apologize for your Country sounds post-rock.

Anyways, I'm sorry for all the shit that comes out of the US.  There's a lot of it.  A LOT.

Well, we've exported quite a lot of shit too. I just went with the worst offenders I could think of, and that represent Canada the most.

Quoting myself here...
Quote from: SpacemanSpiff
On behalf of all Germany, I would like to apologize for Scooter and Rammstein. We are sorry, this won't happen again. We are looking into ways to make them shut up, but it ain't easy.
Seriously, both of these bands are stupid, and even worse is that they apparently represent German music on an international level. You know, we also have good bands without retarded lyrics.

And let me add:
Yes, we do actually have good bands! Like .. um ... uh. Blind Guardian? Kreator? Scorpions? Die Ärzte? Die Toten Hosen? Every single DJ involved in the Loveparade? Nena?
What the fuck is wrong with this country?! I'm getting the fuck out of here, this is just beyond embarrassing.

I can't even apologize for Germany's unhealthy obsession with David Hasselhoff. This is something you can't apologize for.
I mean, he even recorded singles in German. Why? God, why?!
This country makes me cry. Seriously.

Kraftwerk is good, i like kraftwerk. I also like rammstein :p I'm sorry, i just do.

Dosn't Die Toten Hosen translate litteraly as dead trousers, which i would guess, essentially means, impotent? Good name for a band huh?

I apologise for.. The spice girls (who are planning a come back according to rumours :O !!! :( )
I apologise for uhrrm... well you know what, i can't remember many bad brit artists. Not because there arn't hundreds of them, which there are, but just because i shut them all out. LALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOOOUUU!!
I apologise for all the crap anyway.

many of the kids on my campus also have a fairly unhealthy obsession with 'The Hoff'.

I apologise for Delta Goodrem, Nikki Webster (if you've ever heard of her), and Holly Valance.

I'm sorry. Did you just insult Thursday?

I cannot respect you anymore, I'm sure you'll understand.

Being a teen, I need to hold on to at least /one/ of my emo bands of choice.

And OH GOD I AM SORRY FOR COUNTRY!

I also apologise for Nickleback. Every single person should apologise for them.

MCR needs no apologising for, because they're actually quite good for a Jersey band.

I'm surprised no-one has thought to apologise for Good Charlotte...I was expecting it, but no. Weird. I'm not gonna, cos I think they're okay (they make me giggle).

Oh man, where to start for the UK. Oasis, Coldplay, Radiohead, and pretty much every other apocalyptically boring 'rock' band of the nineties, not to mention pretty much all this countries pop music since Culture Club split up. That would be a good place.

For Belgium, I'd like to apologize for a prick called D-Me. Yeah that is what he calls himself. He does commercialized dance-ified covers of popular rock songs. He scored a hit by raping White Stripes' Seven Nation Army, a song he renamed "Ooh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Ooh" (actual song title!!!). A little later, he did the rape routine again with Pennywise's Bro Hymn... I hope none of you have heard this, so I'll just apologize for the mental picture I just gave you. It's... Saddening. So much for the music...

I don't think the frog is actually from britain origionally, (is Axel a british name?) But it was the retarded majority of the british population that made it number 1???!!!!?!?! So i am sooo soo sorry. My neighbours play that at partys.. at like 1 in the morning. The kid sings carry okey (yea i can't spell that, because i hate it so much) to the crazy frog. They take it out in the car with them.. what the fuck...

Axel is German, and the guy who made the original frog noise is Swedish I think.

So, we really have nothing to apologise for as a nation about the frog, except for being a slavering, drooling island of cousin marrying retards for buying the thrice-damned shite as it is rammed into our ugly, blotchy faces.

And when I say, 'we', I mean chavs.

Everyone hates chavs*. It unites our nation. One day, I think we're all going to rise up and just drive them into the sea. Then we shall never speak of them again.

*except pretentious middle ages liberals who've got it into their heads that a helathy loathing of chavs is 'class snobbery'. As one of those fine fellows at chavscum said: 'calling chavs working class is an insult to people who work'.

I find it hard to apologise for avril...I feel as though if someone actually introduced her to good music, she might stop making her music. But I suppose I can apologise for her bad taste.

I want to apologise TO gordon Lightfoot, for having someone make a shitty-ass dance remix of 'if you could read my mind.' I don't know if they were Canadian, but...come ON.

On a more political level:
I'd like to apologise for Canada's ability to have nothing to apologise for (apart from a bunch of embezzling[sp?])<---bizarre. Way to go diplomacy!
