Worst Band Ever...
scootz - 20/11/10 at 02:02 PM

... was listening to the radio and they played a trio of 'Scouting for Girls' songs. My ears were bleeding by the end due to the sheer banality of their lame and repetitive lyrics.

It got me thinking... has there ever been a worse band (The Feeling comes pretty close!)?

What band makes you want to puke!?

Bit unfair to lump Take That in with the other 'boy-bands'... at least they can write lyrics and tunes.

do they actually write anything or have it handed to them on a plate by their production company?

Spoken like a true closet Take That fan....


scootz - 20/11/10 at 02:33 PM

Gary Barlow writes most of their songs (with some input from the other band members).

I've quite enjoyed their 'second-life' stuff!


owelly - 20/11/10 at 02:35 PM

Gary Barlow also writes for dozens of other artists....er probably. I've never heard of him or any of Take That.


balidey - 20/11/10 at 02:48 PM

This wasn't a question of who write stuff. its about the Worst bands. And IMHO, take that are shit.


scootz - 20/11/10 at 02:50 PM

Fairy nuff...


Mr G - 20/11/10 at 03:24 PM

I'd sikaflex my ears shut rather than have to listen to Coldplay


JoelP - 20/11/10 at 03:57 PM

he's not asking for a list of bad bands, but a list of absolute trash as bad as scouting for girls! And there arent many that poor.

I cant say i remember many names but there are some songs out atm with truely awful lyrics. I always thought id like to be in a band but dont really have anything important to say, so never bothered. It seems some people want to do music and just sing whatever shite they can think of...

That must be a pet hate, they really arent that bad!


MikeR - 20/11/10 at 04:01 PM

eeek, i quite like Scouting for girls - its just fun, banal sing along entertainment. Bit like most abba songs.....


errm, i went to watch 3 blokes in their 50's play a medly of rock hits from the 70's last night, deep purple, cream, hendrix and Thin Lizy etc. Each one has been playing for 30+ years and were excellent .... (poor attempt to gain some credibility)

Morris Minor and the Majors


cd.thomson - 20/11/10 at 04:04 PM

Reminds me of a little story when a friends missus was in Morrisons in the checkout queue and they had various cd's at the end of the aisles when her little girls shouts "My mummy likes clocks" except she used to struggle with her "L's", her mum wanted the ground to open up apparently!!

My choice would be the village people...

I hate the abuse of the word 'genius', but ABBA are verging on it!


Volvorsport - 20/11/10 at 06:00 PM

if you think of all the trash about in the 70s , abba aint bad , and err they have musical talent .


loggyboy - 20/11/10 at 06:07 PM

Stupid post.

Everyones taste in music is different, a crap band to someone will be the best band to others.

I personally think U2 are pretty crap (average) but its obvious that there are lots of peolpe who think they are the mutts nuts.


scootz - 20/11/10 at 06:23 PM

Sorry to have upset you Loggy... NOT!

Anything connected with Siimon Cowell is the work of the devil.

Other than that, if the singer or band is responsible for their own creativity and output, who am I to criticise.

I like a variety of music though, too much to go into.

Your havin' a giraffe Mate. Abba songs are timeless and superbly produced. And no I'm not a big fan but you don't necessarily need to like something to appreciate it's merits. And ALL boy bands stink as does most anything that makes it into the singles charts

Indeed, I just wish he'd come and visit me as I'd love to have a little word with him. Might just have to make a few calls and get the blowtorch and pliers out too!

*Cough* Bolt thrower! *Cough*

There are far worse things out there than Scouting for girls, Switch your radio on at about 2 am and you'll hear things so terrible you'll want to eat your own ears.

That told him - lol! But sorry, they aren't a band. Band = instruments and the ability to play them imho. Take that and all those carp boy/girl 'bands' are in fact choirs S**t choirs, for sure, but not bands. So sorry you still can't have Take That.

ROBIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE x x x x x x

Here's some though off the top of my head...

Chumbawumba
Rednex

If it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe I'd been buried a long time ago

Ah bugger...

And did Chumbawamba do any other songs?

Good point though define "band". If they all write and play their own songs then imho there are no bad bands out there (admittedly there are plenty I couldn't be bothered with) as you'd have to have talent to make it, seeing as bands aren't what we're told we want.

Actually I have thought of one, I could quite happily strangle Jonas Brothers (and I get the feeling they are besmirching the good name of a band by actually playing that guitar while whining some shite)

I strongly recommend "The Strand" broadcast in the early hours on the BBC World service.....


Boring tossers talking about boring tosser music, tossers...


Its dreadful unless your Brian Sewell or that twot from the South Bank Show (edit) Melvyn Scragg

Yeah, how dare you people express an opinion

I can see why people are saying Coldplay. I personally can't stand them either, but disappointingly couldn't call them crap as such. I just don't get why they're so popular, all of their music is wrist-slashingly dull.

Green Jelly? Although they're probably cheating, as they were intentionally crap
