Worst band ever


The correct answer is the Lighhouse Family. Utterly bland dull nonsense.

Hate slagging bands off it’s all down to taste BUT got dragged along to see these at the arena. I’ve never left a gig early but went in bar area half way through and got pissed. I was bored shitless.
 
That's them.

Nominating Maiden for "worst band ever" shows a distinct lack of knowledge of NWOBHM and hair rock. There were hundreds of bands in those genres that I guarantee you'd have above Maiden in your Worst Ever list if you knew they existed. ;)
Crystal castles are ,were class man
Saw them on BBC Glastonbury back in the day ,unique ,fresh ,fk it attitude
Been copied by many since
15 years on my son knicked my t shirt and loves them too . Him and his lass even look like them
Speak for yourself. ;) Most of my favourite bands are American. :lol:
The good ones generally follow us ,the others don't try hard enough
Too safe
Some people like all that of course

Kraftwerk. Bleepy bloopy shite.
Disagree cos like kraftwork but love your description, bleeps bloody indeed. Worst band ever Kiss, they are just terrible, terrible music, terrible aesthetics and terrible people. Not keen on CRASS either but like a bit of anarchist ideology, but god were they holier than thou

The Ting Tings.

stop the thread we have a winner.

Can't agree on The Wurzels mind. Yes they were shit, but that's kind of the point. Worst band has to be a band that tried to be good, thought they were good.... and were shite.

Ting Tings fits that bill, and has an added point for a really crap name on top
 
Well I've already asked what the appeal is because it makes no sense to me. Is it the ludicrous make up? The grown man who can stick his tongue out really far? The pantomime outfits? Or the schlocky insipid MoR music? I genuinely have no idea.
Pantomime?……ive never seen a pantamime outfit which is black and silver ?

Nah, I'm not having that.

With the exception of Black Sabbath kicking off the entire Heavy Metal movement and very few other exceptions, British contemporary music has almost always rode on America's coat tails, usually playing it much more safely than their American counterparts.

Even The Beatles for their first five albums or so were a wholesome British band playing a safe lovey-dovey version of the established boundary-pushing American rock'n'roll that had developed from the American blues scene.

Britpop was a safe wannabe grunge movement 5 or 6 years too late.

The British rap scene only found its feet thirty years or so after America had been laying the groundwork.

And then there's jazz, funk, soul, fusion, prog, jam... British artists were WAY late to the table.
