Easily the least lovely of the early-90s adult contemporary rock bands. Then again, when your competition is the Wallflowers, Counting Crows, and loving Dave Matthews that's not hard. At least the lead singer had the good grace to actually drink himself to death instead of just singing about it.

Thank you for reminding me of this abomination, a memory so awful I had completely purged it from my mind. Until today. You could try and engineer a song designed specifically to piss me off, and somehow it wouldn't even come close to this piece of poo poo.

This local band came out like four years ago.

Their gimmick was trying to make commercial rock music with a big marketing budget. I think they thought they'd go straight to MTV or whatever is cool these days.

They failed. Turns out fancy videos and photos don't make lovely music less lovely-and being from bumfuck Kansas doesn't help either. You can tell in the picture how uncomfortable they look in their moan-nickelback-rock outfits.

Disturbed is probably one of the worst metal bands of all time.

"Crazy Bitch" by Buckcherry is literally the worst song of its respective decade. I have never heard anything worse from '00 - '09.

This song is also really bad but it's in a way that's hilarious and endearing. Frank Zappa once said these guys are "better than the Beatles" which is one of the many reasons Frank Zappa owns:

Why has no one else mentioned them? Because they were very bland.

gently caress you to hell whoever said Weezer. They suck now but they were never Creed level lovely. They had 2.5 good albums. Nickleback have none. That's how you measure it.

And yes 'Smooth' was the worst thing ever.

Weezer's "Buddy Holly" video is included on the Microsoft Windows 95 installation CD. Yeah, the lovely "Happy Days" video. Christ, you wanna talk bland, that song is as bland as, well... you get it.

We won't even talk about "Hash Pipe", that got re-cut as "Half Pipe". Fags.

The Shaggs are amazing. Especially for a band who admitted they didn't really know what they were doing at the time they were recording. It's a musical trainwreck that if you listen to long enough you kind of get what they were going for.

The stuff the recorded for their second album sounds MUCH better and more like a real band.

I'd like to nominate Falloutboy for the thread.

Nickelback is a really great pop rock band. They are probably one of the best in recent memory and they are only a step or two below the Beatles who were also a really great pop band. It's too bad the Beatles crawled up their own asses though, they had a lot of talent but became insufferable and did dumbass poo poo like went to India and wrote bad experimental bullshit.

Imagine Dragons are all very talented as well. They graduated from Berklee College. They are Berklee alumni just like Quincy Jones, Bruce Hornsby, Melissa Ethridge, and the guys in Dream Theatre.

Both Nickelback and Imagine Dragons have done really well selling radio friendly, commercially accessible pop/rock to the masses. I'm happy for them. :)
