I really don't know what to do with myself anymore. We found the best band in the world (Complete). We found one worst band of the world (Deadsy), only to have it surpassed today.

I guess the new goal is find the band that is the most 50% ish.

I was pretty apathetic about it at the time, but now, every time I'm in a club and an Avenged Sevenfold or My Chemical Romance song plays, I suddenly get nostalgic for nu-metal.

Also, the worst band ever is either Deerhoof or Radiohead. Obviously.

Generally things like this are subjective but you're just wrong.

Starship may not have epitomized human expression and creativity but We Built This City is a fucking catchy pop song.

There is a lot of shit hip hop in the world just as there's a lot of shit any genre. There is also a certain amount of damned good hip hop and you won't ever convince me otherwise.

Even Mariah Carey being up there with the worsts artists in existence is not a legitimate claim because a) it took no effort on your part to make it and b) she is not godawful so much as she is incredibly bland.

The problem I have with rappers is that their music is based on the cookie-cutter format of pimping, whores, guns (whatever that gets into as well), or just plain arrogance. Maybe I have not been subjected to rap about better things. I hear Atmosphere is actually pretty good, but I haven't gotten around to listening to them yet. But I'm sorry if I offended anyone who likes rap music. Just because it's catchy does not make it a good song. The best songs I know of aren't that catchy. And have you ever seen the music video for Touch My Body? Or maybe it's spelled differently...I couldn't care less. It made me want to go kill myself. But, back to hip-hop and rap, and touching on other genres being shitty, I sort of get what you mean. Maybe I haven't collected enough experience in the world of hip-hop, but if you would point me in the direction of hood hip-hop artists that would be nice. Also, I can't seem to find ska that I dislike so that could be coloring my perception of other genres.

Was that "this" supposed to be a link?
Anyways, thank you for the second link.
To the person who said that I can't find bad ska is a problem, maybe. Maybe. I'm starting to dislike Reel Big Fish though, due to the blunt lyrics.
Does Rage Against the Machine count as hip-hop? If so, I take back what I said about hip-hop being bad. That thread helped as well. I can't believe I didn't remember the Beastie Boys until I saw them mentioned there. I guess they're also partially punk. Part of the reason I like them is that they play their own instruments and write their own songs.

By "best" I mean with the deepest lyrics, i.e. with metaphors, other figures of speech. It's possible to quantify figures of speech, and it generally follows that the more figures of speech the writer put more thought and/or emotion into writing that song. So no, if I meant musically "best", then yes, it would be pretty the most subjective term available, but I mean lyrically. If a lyricist is completely bland and just says his/her ideas plainly (an example would be some, but not all, country music), then it's easier to understand seeing as there is no thought involved, and is, at least how I understand it to be, more "catchy". I don't see many people saying that J.K. Rowling is a better writer than, say, Kurt Vonnegut, or George Saunders.

I'm just using this to gauge what we're talking about right now, because I can't think of a better way. Instrumental songs are a whole other deal I'm not going to go into right now; it's not that I don't like them, because I do, but it's not something I think I'm musically advanced enough to debate. Post-rock? For me the appeal is how it sounds, not trying to figure out the lyrics. If that's even possible, due to the incomplexity. By the way, listen to the song "I'm a Wheel" by Wilco and tell me what it's about.

You could try "I am not a pigfucker" and then write whatever it is you would write. Man this thread has gone from comparing bad bands, to debating rap, to trying to figure out what good music is. stupid n0t r0b, i mean there are hardly any rappers who play their own instruments. It's become commonplace and expected for people to do that, and always has been, but now so much popular music (read: those girl pop stars along the lines of Hannah Montana and Hilary Duff) and rap is written by others, let alone performed. THAT was what I meant by that. It seems silly, I know, to like a band more for doing something every other band I like does, but I admire them for being some of the first to take a step in what I consider the right direction.
Title: Re: Worst Band Ever.
Post by: Jackie Blue on 06 Jul 2008, 00:47
You are perhaps aware that there are many genres where the artists don't play instruments.  Noise, ambient, electronica, trip-hop, audio collage (Negativland, EBN, etc.)...

I am not a pigfucker, however, you are making a lot of incredibly ignorant statements across the board, not just with regards to rap.

DUDE CAN YOU EVEN READ

I listed several genres other than rap that don't play instruments.  I wasn't listing them as "instrumental bands".  And I think you're completely off your nut if you think that just because a song doesn't have words you have to be a musical genius to even talk about it.  A lot of post-rock is actually incredibly simple, much of it as simple as punk rock.  "Mogwai Fear Satan" is essentially three chords repeated in order for 16 minutes.

It can be argued that post rock is intricate in it's simplicity. Or at least, that it is easy to understand why one would feel intimidated by it. However simple theory-wise, post rock often lacks the particular fundamentals of traditional Western music that people are used to discussing. Those being lyrics, hooks, and typical song structure.

The absence of these makes post rock appear more difficult to judge.

Sorry, that was entirely my fault. I was reading much too quickly. Also, I was more obscure than I meant to be. Saying that, for instance, Daft Punk, doesn't play their own instruments, is a given. We are talking about different things, I think. I mean that atrists have other people do what is actually possible with instruments, versus those who do it themselves.

 I meant that to decipher any meaning from instrumental music you need to have a pretty good understanding of music theory, which I do not. If you're just repeating three chords over and over again with no lyrics, I guess you can't get very much meaning out of it. Unless it's on some completely higher plane, which, like I said, I don't have any understanding of.

And on the rap subject, i don't really hate the genre as a whole.  I can stand bands like The Roots, Dilated Peoples, etc.  It's the whole "Urban" culture and the way it's marketed that puts me off.  And I swear to god, if I never hear the term "Urban" again in conjunction with clothing or lifestyle, it'll be too f$%&ing soon.

Except that Beastie Boys aren't a band. They're a rap group. They were a band originally and in many ways are now, but they always have been a hip-hop group at heart and it's not that common for hip-hop artists to write the music for their songs. It's more often than not samples or chords stolen from someone else or whatever. So his point is valid.

Srsly? The worst kind of euro trash/trance is born when someone from a particularly shallow end of the gene pool thinks to himself "hey, this ballad would sound really awesome with a beat stuck to it". Exceptionally awful example:

Quote from: Popjustice
Absolute rubbish. When we first heard this on the radio we thought this was just a stupid bootleg thing - it's even got a stupid bootleg title ('Bruised Water', is it 2001 again or something?) - but no. It is actually being released. People are listening to this and thinking "yes these two songs definitely work very well together".

We know this might be 'big in the clubs' or whatever but surely this is actual, proper shit? "Oh I know we'll make a video based on that Splash film from the 80s." Brilliant. Here's a tip to the  label: if you're going to choose a Tom Hanks film to 'homage' in the video, Saving Private Ryan might provide a better visual accompaniment to the sound of carnage and despair as dance music is blown limb from limb.

Probably quite good on drugs we suppose.

Admittedly though the music vid is kinda cool.

I'm having a hard time figuring out why this is supposed to be so bad.  It's a pretty straightforward, decent cover and awesome video.

I mean, it's not as good as most of Saucerful of Pink (especially Laeather Strip's "Learning to Fly") but still.
Title: Re: Worst Band Ever.
Post by: KharBevNor on 06 Jul 2008, 16:19
It's not a cover, it's an extremely simplistic remix.

I mean, you pay goodness knows how much money to acquire the rights to an extremely famous song, and you just put a beat under it? Great, really great.

That track is exactly why people think electronic music takes no talent.


Also, replying to previous page, I don't get it. Is the drummer from Deerhoof supposed to be exceptionally good or something? He's pretty average. Maybe if you listened to more music which didn't just use drum beats from the first half of It's Fun to Play the Drums vol 1 for Ages 8-12 you would be more credulous.

Yelle is some shitty music but it's not nearly as ridiculously terrible as Millionaire.

Granted, I'd probably mash her kidshitter given half a chance but that goes for practically any French girl who can stand and chew gum.

Not quite the same ballpark. Fun Club is definitely cut from the same cloth though.

I dunno, I actually rather like her. I will admit that 70% of the reason why is 'cause she's a fox, and another 20% is 'cause I don't understand what she's saying. But 10% is I actually think the music is catchy.

I honestly don't see why none of you like Millionaires.  They're operating in the same general area as Le Tigre or Chicks On Speed; the only tonal difference between them and brat-punk bands like, uh, Bratmobile is that they're lampooning the California/club aesthetic.

It's not just me, either, I posted a link to Millionaires on a local indie-fucks message board and pretty much everyone I know on there agree'd they're awesomely ridiculous and ridiculously awesome.

I love you sir, but it don't mean I understand you. At all. The difference, from where I'm standing, seems to be that Le Tigre are the slightest bit enjoyable. Whereas Millionaires, on a scale from 1 to enjoyable, land somewhere around "OH GOD MAKE IT END"

I don't want to hatefuck them.  They're rad.  I bet they have great senses of humor and are fun girls.  They remind me of a local all-girl band in a way:

http://www.myspace.com/gutlocker69

What I meant by the Le Tigre comparison is that their attitude is pretty similar, just in a different style/scene.  It's still "I'm a girl, no I won't fuck you, I kick ass motherfucker" music.

Though I'm confused if you can't hear ANY musical similarities between Millionaires and Le Tigre or Chicks On Speed or Peaches or Lesbians On Ecstasy or any of that.

Tch, Cascada isn't bad.

But if you want bad, look to Hungary (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--Vaz9jW054)

EDIT::
The problem I have with rappers is that their music is based on the cookie-cutter format of pimping, whores, guns (whatever that gets into as well), or just plain arrogance. Maybe I have not been subjected to rap about better things. I hear Atmosphere is actually pretty good, but I haven't gotten around to listening to them yet. But I'm sorry if I offended anyone who likes rap music. Just because it's catchy does not make it a good song. The best songs I know of aren't that catchy. And have you ever seen the music video for Touch My Body? Or maybe it's spelled differently...I couldn't care less. It made me want to go kill myself. But, back to hip-hop and rap, and touching on other genres being shitty, I sort of get what you mean. Maybe I haven't collected enough experience in the world of hip-hop, but if you would point me in the direction of hood hip-hop artists that would be nice. Also, I can't seem to find ska that I dislike so that could be coloring my perception of other genres.

How'd you manage to say that on a forum that revolves around people that go out of their way to find obscure, yet excellent music?

Simple Plan.

If you have never heard of, kind of like, or are neutral towards them, let me give you reasons to hate the shit out of them.

-"I'd do anything just to hold you in my arms."  I don't think I need to say any more, but that lyric drowns so many baby elephants in their sleep, I don't think that we should let another tweenaged girl emit that sound from her baby blue iPod Nano.  It sucks vagina juices out of a silly straw.

-They sing about being lonely teenagers.  If you are in your mid-twenties and you haven't gotten the fuck over your teen years, then your village needs pillaging.

-Their music videos feature a bunch of kids dancing furiously to their music at a concert.  This implies that:
>>The nifty light show behind the band has given the kids epileptic seizures.
>>They've found a way to make aerosol-crystal-meth and have duct-taped the nozzles down in the AirCon unit.
>>They really are that exciting to see live.
>>The kids are actually attending a tai-bo class and Simple Plan just copy pasta'd themselves in front of the class using movie magic.

-The lead singer has a weaker vocal range than Eli Porter.  YouTube it.  You know it's true.

No. There's a definite difference between Linkin Park, who's marketed angst is altogether quite amusing, and Brokencyde, who honestly make me want to cry.

Introducing two new competitors courtesy of the PRF -

Brokencyde (http://www.myspace.com/brokencyde).
Millionaires (http://www.myspace.com/millionaires).

This whole thread prior to this post is looking pretty silly now, huh?

On the 6th of August these two bands are playing together in Chicago. Bet you're jealous now, huh? I am tempted to go to this, but then I almost like Millionaires. Brokencyde are pretty damn terrible, though.

For a very good reason.

ABBA is such an amazing band it hurts. If there was any band that knew how to write a damn-near excellent pop song, it was ABBA.
Title: Re: Worst Band Ever.
Post by: Caspian on 26 Jul 2008, 22:03
ABBA are one of the most irritating/worst bands ever. Saying they- or any band- is good (or even tolerable) because "they write excellent pop tunes" is completely meaningless- any retard can knock out a catchy tune, as Fred Durst, every pop punk band ever and Sufjan Stevens have proven.

I can honestly say without a trace of irony that I would much rather listen to the earlier mentioned Brokencyde or Millionaires then ABBA.
Title: Re: Worst Band Ever.
Post by: Johnny C on 26 Jul 2008, 23:44
Fred Durst does not write excellent pop tunes. He writes clangy ugly angry shit noise. ABBA write pop tunes. There is no literally comparing the two outside of the fact that they use similar basic elements of music such as rhythms and notes. Not similar rhythms and notes, mind you. They just both use rhythm and notes.

And Brokencyde don't write excellent pop tunes, or intelligent lyrics, or have decent production, or have alright hooks, or have interesting sound textures. They are a mix of bland and awful. If I had the choice between hearing every piece of music for the rest of my life as if it was performed by ABBA and a painful, prolonged death, I would gladly take ABBA. If the choice involved hearing every piece of music for the rest of my life as if it was performed by Brokencyde instead, I would gladly rip off my own arm and beat myself to death with it to save you the trouble. Brokencyde are dire, vacuous shit, and literally infinitely more awful than ABBA were, are or will ever be.

OK, perhaps "anyone" was a little bit of an exaggeration (I've always been a fan of using huge amounts of hyperbole, which I guess is pretty obvious from most of my posts), but certainly writing a catchy tune isn't hugely difficult.

You seem to forget that writing a catchy pop song is not the only factor in becoming successful in the pop music market. Hell, sometimes it seems that it's the least important thing.

While I think that GG Allin was one of the biggest wastes of flesh ever and despise people who "love" him for "breaking down barriers" or what the fuck ever crack they're smoking that day, I do have to admit his band actually did have a few songs which, while lyrically juvenile, were not terribly bad as far as trashy garage punk goes.  "So What" would be an example of this.

So fucking what!

Well I've been to Hastings
And I've been to Brighton
I've been to Eastbourne too
So what, so what

Well I've been here
And I've been there
And I've been every fucking where
So what, so what

So what, so what you boring little cunt
Well who cares, who cares what you do
Who cares, who cares about you
You, you, you

Well I've sucked sweets
And I've sucked rock
And I've even sucked an old man's cock
So what, so what

Well I've fucked a sheep
And I've fucked a goat
I've had my cock right down its throat
So what, so what
So what, so what you boring little cunt
Well who cares, who cares what you do
Who cares, who cares about you
You, you, you, you

Well I've drunk that
And I've drunk this
And I've spewed up on a pint of piss
So what, so what

And I've had scag
I've had speed
I've jacked up until I bleed
So what, so what
So what, so what you boring little cunt
Well who cares, who cares what you do
Who cares, who cares about you
You, you, you, you

Well I've had crabs
And I've had lice
And I've had the pox and that ain't nice
So what, so what

Well I've fucked this
And I've fucked that
And I've even fucked a schoolgirl's crack
So what, so what
So what, so what you boring little cunt
Who cares, who cares about you
Who cares, who cares about you
You, you, you, you....

Way to first post, dude. First screamo-crunk, now this.

I'm going to have to listen to "What What (In The Butt)" about a million times to drown this out with a side order of "AHHHH C'mon, Fuck A Guy". Did this Guenther dude get the girls from the A-Teens to do the female vocals in this piece of shit?

Eerily similar to Kate Perry's craptastic "I Kissed A Girl", whose video doesn't actually show girls kissing, this video doesn't actually show any dong.

Speaking of Euro-centric crappy music, Yelle from a page or so back is starting to grow on me, if only because given ideal circumstances I would mash. Millionaires, not with that bedpost from Boy George's episode of MTV Cribs that looks like a dick.

In case you didn't realize, Gunther is a joke act. He is a Swedish model and nightclub owner who poses as an 80s porn star-looking German dude and puts out hilariously awful Eurotrash.

I don't know if the version linked is the censored version but there is definitely dong in the NSFW version.

Also, this song is a cover of a legitimate (if stupid) dance song from the 80s. It's also extremely catchy.

Sure metro station is HELLA catchy [as in ahhhh why does this keep getting stuck in my head], but I just can't justify listening to 'shake shake shake shake shake it' over and over again.




And Yelle is amazing. She's cute, though I liked her better with long hair, and her music is so bubble-gum-pop that I can't help but love it.

In case you're interested, here are translated lyrics of "Je Veux Te Voir":

Cuizinier (singer), with your little sex surrounded by red curls
I can’t believe you can think that you are wanted
I can’t understand it even in the dark,
even if you keep your PJs tight
Even if you guard your bathrobe, tight as a tailored T-shirt
Keep your nightgown, it’ll limit the bastard acts

I want to see you
In a porno film
In action with your cock
Shape potatoes or fries
To find out
About your anatomy
About your cousin Teki
And your fetish gear

Cuizi, what is
Your favourite position?
Your Olympic performances
But you do nothing orgasmic
You are naked
Under your apron
Ready to draw your sword
But tough luck

You dream of a neon Hummer
Designed by Akroe
But you have no license
You always take the metro

Superstar for a night, your life’ll return to normal
No need for sunglasses to hide yourself
You wait for your green card
This is not lip service
I’ve managed to make you
One with my scanner
Entrance is free tonight
It’s the only way to come
Then we girls wandered
Yeah, we’re going to chippendales
We had not planned to spend a night with the jokers
We wanted to see their pecs, guys hung like bulls

Your posters of Lil’ Jon cover those of Magic Johnson
You’re too crunk (crazy drunk) to slam dunk

Cuiziner, it’s you who I want to see
Who I want to see tonight
Be ridiculed by a girl who raps better than you
I only have 10 fingers
not enough to count all of them in the room
All these hairdressers like me who know you’re only worth a hair
