I'll take Bands that Suck for $200, Alex

is that intentionally mispelled?
if not, all hell is about to break loose (not by me, as I don't care for the Dead... I won't go so far as to say they suck, but just not my cup of tea)
I corrected it after I posted it but before I read your post. "Grateful" is just one of those words I can never remember how to spell.
 

You're telling me that this doesn't do it for you? Maybe it's because I was a kid when this song came out, but I have a soft spot for this ridiculous song.
I'll admit to sorta liking that one song, (and maybe one other that I don't remember the name of) but its mostly nostalgic because my kids were very young when All Star came out and they would dance and sing to it.

Other than All Star & Walkin on the Sun (which might be what you're thinking of), I can't think of a song they had. They did do "I'm a Believer" for Shrek, but that wasn't originally their song, so I don't count that. Not enough exposure for me to hate them, but in terms of being a great band, I would say they aren't, since they didn't have any sort of staying power.

I applaud Mark's efforts. I will submit the following:


Oasis
Good Charlotte
Limp Bizkit
the afor mentioned Smashmouth
Avril Lavine (sp?)
Black Eyed Peas
Kanye
Lil Wayne
Iggy Azeala (sp?)
Drake
One Direction
Coldplay

I'm sure I'll think of some more

Can't disagree with any of these and most of them are not bands. Damn where has the quality gone. BTW, Kanye West is a waste of human flesh and needs his ass kicked.

Bruce Springsteen. Dude sounds like he is taking a dump when he sings. Cannot be a more over-rated musician that sucks ass in history. / Thread.

I am sure I am in the minority in this thread, and for this board in general, but I think Kanye the musician is pretty great. I will always say Kanye the person is an @$$hole, but I will defend his music.

As for the rest of the ones GSD mentioned, can't say I really disagree. Those other 11 acts have combined for about 6 songs I enjoy.
 
There are some listed here I like (Oasis, some Coldplay, the Stones). Regardless, I'll add Kiss. They are terrible.
 
I know I will get trashed for this but I have always thought the Stones and Beatles are way overrated. JMO



Beatles overrated? not hardly,they influenced a lot bands over the years,maybe it's because you just don't like their music and and that's your perogative,but you can't deny their mark in Rock and Roll.

Every hair band from the eighties- but most especially:
Ratt
Scorpions
Poison
Warrant
Winger
Motley Crue
Iron Maiden
Twisted Sister
Skid Row

All godawful.
Finally, something we can agree on. ;)

Can't believe nobody has mentioned any boy bands yet. Any boy bands from the 1980s and beyond unquestionably suck. Any prior to that are debatable.

[Edit to add:] I see GSD listed a boy band. He is correct.

I've heard from other millennials how "groundbreaking" Kanye's music is. Look, I'm a certified rap head. I grew up on the stuff - the golden age of rap music - mid 80s thru late 90s. I know rap music. And while I do detest Kanye with pretty much every fiber of my being, my judgement of his music is not attributed to my disdain for him as a person. I think his attempts to be "deep" or "cutting edge" with his music is simply a mask for his lack of lyricism. He should have stayed a producer because his rhymes are wack.

That's fair enough. I've heard similar criticism about him before, with his lyrics usually being the biggest thing. I personally think his lyrics are fine, not the absolute best in rap by any means, but that's me. While age wise, I am probably a millennial, I have listened to my fair share of that "golden age" (NWA, Tupac, Biggie, etc), and enjoyed that as well. Doesn't hurt my feelings at all that people don't like Kanye, but I wrongly made the assumption in this instance that it was primarily because of his personality, so that's my bad. No hard feelings at all, as I said, I figure I'm one of a small minority on this board who likes Kanye's music. :)
 
BeeGees - Seriously, if you participated in the disco era in any way you should just go ahead and shoot yourself in the face.
Define "participated in" for me. I was 10 in 1977. I had the Stayin' Alive 45. Was I participating?

I disliked a lot of hair bands, but I have a real appreciation and like for as many as I disliked at the time. Great guitar riff music. I had my own unique criteria as to which ones were cool and which ones were not.
