    There many songs that I hate more than anything by the Carpenters but they are the only band with bad songs that I’ve had the misfortune of listening to more than one bad song of. I can’t stand the treacly, cutesy bullshit they put out.

    I would also put the person who sang " ON THE WINGS OF LOOOOOOOVE" on here but I can’t be arsed to look them up.

    Scruffy the cat.

    Just the shittiest music. They were bad enough that despite it being over thirty years since the single listen I had of the one album I had, they still stand out for being bad.

    Someone I know listens exclusively to the Beatles on the car radio. From all the Beatles hype, it should feel like a party, but instead it feels like you’re listening to jingle commercials during the whole ride.

      Probably doesn’t help that they’re so popular that their music was licensed and became synonymous with commercials.

      Same thing with the doors and all things Vietnam.

      Oh my God THANK YOU! You just described exactly how I feel about them and I’ve never been able to really figure out why they bothered me.

      Who needs musical talent? Or … y’know… basic knowledge of music and musical instruments?

    Corey Feldman’s Angelic 2 the Core is without a doubt the worst album I’ve ever listened to. It is not just mediocre or underwhelming, it is not just a “miss,” it is actively and unforgettably horrible. Definitely worth checking out.

      Anything by Corey Feldman at this time is valid. Like, I know they say to follow your dreams and everything. But there’s also the part where realizing that you’re not fit for that particular dream and you could maybe try something else.

      Someone should tell him.

      angelic 2 the core is one of the only albums i’ve ever listened to that is so bad i enjoyed listening through the whole thing. i feel like most people understand that feeling with movies, but this one album is the only time i’ve felt it with music.

    Freespirit Graham.

    My father used to book acts for a local club, and this guy played there once. He was awful. There’s no nice way to say it, he just really wasn’t very good. He played and sang songs that nobody recognised, and did it badly. To make things worse, he was paid, but went around with his hat at the end of the set asking people for money. Needless to say, he didn’t get a good reception.

    About a year or so later, my father booked another singer, and it was the same guy going under a different name. The music night was popular, so there was a decent sized crowd already there when he walked in, and quite a few of them remembered him. My father asked him what he was doing there, and he said that he thought it was worth a try.

    He was told to leave without playing, as the people who remembered him were already annoyed, and weren’t the type of people to suffer a fool kindly.

    Pink Floyd is underwhelming for a band commonly labelled as “prog rock”. Most of their stuff is forgettable, albeit Alan Parsons Project came off it, so I guess it’s not irredeemable if it inspired something genuinely good.

    Trickhay on YouTube… Learned about him when he posted an ad on Craigslist looking for a singer for his music. He’s become an inside joke for my SO and I. I think my favorite is “hoop dance”.

    The worst recorded sound that I have ever heard was Kurt Cobain doing a mic check on a Nirvana live bootleg. Like a tortured cat with laryngitis.

    My answer may not quite fit the topic. But I’ll share anyway.

    In the late 20-teens, ZZ Top and John Fogerty we’re touring together. My wife and I saw them on the Jersey Shore (thanks VetTix!) and Fogerty opened the show and absolutely killed it. Then ZZ Top played and Billy Gibbons just didn’t have it anymore. We left early.

    Several weeks later they played Jones Beach Amphitheatre and thanks to VetTix we got to go again. Once again Fogerty knocked it out of the park and Billy was just not up to snuff.

    It was sad.

    Interestingly, Billy Gibbons is featured on one of the tracks of Slash’s new album Orgy of the Damned. That track is the perfect fit for Gibbons and it holds together beautifully.
