Honestly there has to be something worse than this. I would hate to have found the worst band this early in my life.

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 personally think this song is a fair bit worse


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.

Yeah, I definitely prefer, say, Korn's Freak on a Leash to A7X. I still find it hard to hate a lot of the nu metal and various pop punk bands that I grew up with.

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.

I'm seriously doubting if we can debate instrumental tracks. I'm not sure I've ever met someone who has that kind of musical prowess; it makes anything else seem like not just a piece of cake, but three cakes.

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.
