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.

sp2 · « **Reply #1 on:** 10 Aug 2005, 15:07 »

"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.

Johnny C · « **Reply #2 on:** 10 Aug 2005, 15:09 »

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's pretty okay.

Shellhead · « **Reply #7 on:** 10 Aug 2005, 15:53 »

I would like to apologize for Fugazi and for every album that they are still planning to make.

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.

FruitKat · « **Reply #11 on:** 10 Aug 2005, 16:22 »

New Zealand is too small for its music to impact on any other country... Even good music.
So I'm sorry for that.
But you're pretty lucky, because the most popular stuff here is utter shit anyway.

Sydney · « **Reply #12 on:** 10 Aug 2005, 16:54 »

hehe. The OTHER land of sheep and hills is pretty damn small but has some big international stars. Tom Jones being one of the most famous.

I would apologise for welsh folk music but no one hears any!! i have never had to listen to any!!! YAY!!

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 refuse to apologize for Sum 41. God help us when the Second Coming happens, though, because we WILL have to answer for Avril.

I apologize, on behalf of good Americans, for pop-country, 50 Cent, and Kenny G.

*EDIT* And for Eminem. Oh god, I am so sorry for the world. Deepest remorse.

I apologize on behalf of New Jersey for the god awful bands Thursday, Taking Back Sunday, and doubly so for My Chemical Romance.

At least we still have Springsteen and... fuck, we don't have anyone else that's good, I say. Then I go to a diner and drown my sorrows in a grilled cheese sandwich.

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.

Geoff Rickly for prez.

Hence apologizing for most of the other post-grunge that rips off Nickelback too! Urgh.

:O!!! You got Scribe!!!
I am SOOOOO SORRY!...
I thought that was far too shit to cross the ditch, ah well.
But seriously, I can pin a LITTLE blame for that... and other things (Dei Hamo, Savage).. from the influence that American rap has here... It's like all these terrible rip-offs turn up EVERYWHERE...
We have our own CULTURE and our own MUSIC people... we don't need crappy rip-offs:(

Maui · « **Reply #25 on:** 10 Aug 2005, 22:24 »

um i guess i could apoligize for the Goo Goo Dolls cause theyre from around here, but really, i think this thread is just another one of those, im cooler than you because i hate this band dicussions. Plus, the goos dont suck. So this post is pretty pointless. Although i must say Aphi, of all the emo bands to pick, Thursday is by far the worst choice.

rawrXskittles · « **Reply #26 on:** 10 Aug 2005, 22:44 »

I apologise for rap, hip-hop, pop-punk, and bubblegum rock.

I'm embarrassed for America for rap...I'm sorry, rest of the world!

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...

rawrXskittles! Same number of posts! I passed the 100 boundary!!

Yea that's fairly inane.

Freshlysqueezedcynic · « **Reply #35 on:** 11 Aug 2005, 03:52 »

Isn't it Sweden who should apologise for the frog? As far as I can tell, the voice came from some Swedish bloke.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #36 on:** 11 Aug 2005, 03:55 »

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.

Sydney · « **Reply #37 on:** 11 Aug 2005, 04:02 »

damn i hate chavs

Oh btw, Jamster, the company responsible for the Frog, is part of Verisign (or so i hear) we all know verisign right?

Tinjessla · « **Reply #38 on:** 11 Aug 2005, 04:04 »

Can i apologise for that Crazy Frog rip off, Tweety too? It may not be as well known but DAMN it is just as annoying.

Woops! My apologies to Britain for blaming the frog on them, then

KharBevNor · « **Reply #40 on:** 11 Aug 2005, 04:10 »

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'.

McTaggart · « **Reply #41 on:** 11 Aug 2005, 04:16 »

Also, The Vines and all those guys that sound like them.

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!

Oh, not that you guys have heard him, but Our Canadian Idol was shittier than Clay Aiken.
