In search of the worst musical act EVER. Who's yours?

[Bridgeru]

These clowns


Despite being crap singers and dancers they somehow made it pretty far on The X factor and are arguably better known than the winner(couldn't tell you who won tbh).They're fucking everywhere now

Agreed. Don't remind me about them. They make me ashamed to be Irish. Out of Darby O'Gill, Leprechauns, and a Government who is failing, to do that makes them some really REALLY bad people.

Also, for anyone who doesn't know... Remember Vanilla Ice, the guy who no one cared about in the 80's? He's their opening act. Nice to know birds of a feather flock into the wood chipper together.

That is the most hilarious thing I've seen in ages.

Don't get me wrong, they RAPED "Under Pressure," and I LOVE Queen. But that was....Hilarious.

These kids. Oh God.

I raise you my own band (7 years ago, all of us had been playing for no more than a year):

 

[p3t3r]

black eyed peas are the worst popular band. live is absolutly horrible they are just a bunch of people screaming on stage not singing they don't sing they yell.

 

[tigermilk]

The Shaggs.

Warning: Only follow the links if you don't mind issues with rhythm, harmony, melody, and basic musicianship.

And basically almost everything else in music. They did figure out how to HOLD the instruments, though.

Fucking hell I haven't listened to The Shaggs in years, personally I like them always thought they had a garage feel to them, each to their own I suppose and I wholeheartedly support anyone with the imagination to not just shout Justin Beiber at this thread.

 

[hannan4mitch]

Celine Dion singing AC/DC and Queen. It made me want to tear my ears off and pull out my eyes.

Also, Avril Lavegne singing Metallica. I'm sorry, she has so little talent, I don't even care if I spelled her name right.

Yeah, did you hear that Adam Lambert covered Enter Sandman. The guitar work was good, but some people can't copy Metallica's vocal style, he didn't put enough aggression into it. It's called Thrash Metal for a reason.

You're Dutch, so I raise you Singer Rinus:
Just...good gods. Just look at that woman or whatever it is. That's just sad.

Edit:
Nevermind, this dude is even worse:

I have rather broad perspective. I've listened to a lot of 60s garage, but never got that vibe from them. I got the more "early Blink 182" vibe from them, before they learned to play their instruments live (two years ago, I believe >.>).

Anyway, Bieber's too mediocre to get worst act ever. He's not awful enough. Or noteworthy enough. I don't even know why it's trendy to hate him, because he's so...forgettable.

Jedward

not only are they terrible singers and dancers
but they really are a complete pair of thick twats

Lucky Fonz III is pretty awful too, but yeah, Rinus takes the cake. I'm still convinced it's all a joke, though.

 

[AK47Marine]

That kesha creature, we all know what she is (well... who's face she's wearing any way)

seriously I expect nothing but crap out of the bubblegum pop factory, but someone obviously took a shit in the materials intake on the day kesha was produced.

 

[archvile93]

The worst one I can think of was a from a wannabe rapper that was so bad it was on World's Dumbest. I don't remember the name of the song so I can't find a link, but trust me it's horrible.

 

[Chromatic Aberration]

I raise you two abominations of the german music market:

Spoiler: 3,4 Bier normal (3,4 beers - normal!) - German pseudo-gangster Rap by 14 Year olds. I don't think I will have to say anymore...

And if thats not horrible enough for you there is always (although non-german) midi-quality grind-core:

 

[Appleshampoo]

I can't link the music direct from youtube, but I can give you the site.

www.blackoutband.com The song is 'video games'

This is just pure child exploit from their parents. And the band sucks. Hard. Makes my ears sad.

 

[revjay]

As far as singing talent goes, Katy Perry. But I fucking LOVE her videos on mute

Spoiler: silence is golden

She sounds tone deaf but if you turn the volume off I'd definitely vote to give her a.. Grammy, yeah let's go with Grammy.

 

[SenseOfTumour]

Dude, are you kidding? That is comedy gold, man! I'm sorry, but I can't hate on anybody who makes me laugh that hard, intentional or not. As for worst music I've heard, I will never forgive humanity for the Black Eyed Peas and in particular 'my humps'. I could provide a link, but I doubt I need to.

As for why? Like most of their 'songs', it's not actually music so much as repetitive jibberish with no redeeming qualities. It's just that that one has the most inane lyrics. To the best of my knowledge anyway. I haven't heard much of their stuff.

There are undoubtedly worse bands/musicians out there, but I don't subject myself to the kinds of things you do. As a matter of curiosity, how did you find that video?

I know 'My Humps' was godawful, but I can almost forgive it, for spawning Alanis Morrisette's cover version, which is eight types of epic.

Normal:

Alanis' "reimagining" of it:

I never had Alanis down as ..funny, not after listening to 'ironic', and realising most of what she said...wasn't, it was just annoying, not having a knife, etc. This cover just kills me tho

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

In my experience, I'd have to say Brokencyde. It seems to be mixing up the worst aspects of punk, hip-hop, and hipster culture, and their music conveys this.

Don't believe me?

Yeah, anything I could post would only capture a tiny part of this video. You win.

Oh, and I feel this is obligatory: and Deep, Echo-y voice is [HEADING=3]ON....OK, HERE WE GO:[/HEADING]

Spoiler: *ahem*

[HEADING=1]DOUCHEBAGS.[/HEADING]

 

[jpoon]

I was going to say justen bibur but after seeing that brokencyde video they are easily one of the absolute worst "bands" I have ever heard. Fuck they are horrible!

 

[CarpathianMuffin]

Dammit, you win.


This is my favorite bad song, if only because of how he mumbles the words has jack shit to do with the horrible green screen behind him. His videos are just so horribly done that they're awesome.


And this, only because I have no fucking idea what's going on.

THIS! THIS! THIIIIIIIIIISSSS!

I hate that band so fucking much!
