Top 3 acts you think are terrible

[C]

Grateful Dead - tedious beyond measure jam band who despite committing countless days, possibly weeks or months, of "music" to tape never wrote a single fucking tune ever.

Nonsense lad

Nonsense





.

[C]

I don't think they are terrible but they have never clicked with me:

10cc
Supertamp
Steely Dan




.

[mudshark]

Grateful Dead
The Smiths
Anything in which Steven Wilson is involved. He's King Midas in reverse.

[C]

Grateful Dead

That surprises me Erik

Yes, that surprises me



.

[pcqgod]

That was probably me going on about Generation X.

[GoogaMooga]

Doors
Queen
REM or U2

U2 are worse than REM, but are they as top?

[LMG]

The Beatles
The Fall
Bob Dylan


And I really hate the fucking Beatles at the moment because they have left me with no room to put the Velvet Underground up there as well.

Where they belong.

[mudshark]

Mr. C., it's mainly because I feel GF is highly, HIGHLY overrated. For me it's a (slightly below) average band with a few good (but not great or particularly memorable) tunes, that has obtained the status of a 'supergroup' because they played a lot and for a long time, used a lot of dope and did all of them things hippies tend to do, like say 'man' a lot. Had they stayed humble like the Eagles, I might have been less harsh

[trans-chigley express]

I'm confused whether we pick 3 or 5 but I'll go for 5

The Smiths
UB40
The Fall
Dream Theater
B52s

My list from 2017 and I'm still ok with that

The Smiths
UB40
B52s

My list from 2017 and I'm still ok with that

I like all three of those bands in small doses

I rate the first two B52 albums and a couple from The Smiths which become a bit samey

UB40 was my fave of the three - I love the first two albums and saw them live thrice

Still, each to his own lad

Back to the thread title. Jim-lad asks an odd question - pick a genre you don't like and select three from it!

But I don't think that was what the lad intended

So, I'll have a go [the three I listed which I don't get are far from terrible! {10cc, Supertramp and Steely Dan}

Okay:

Queen
Tiny Tim
Bon Jovi





.

[mudshark]

You didn't pick a genre and picked what you think are the 3 worst in that genre, right? Tiny Tim is not exactly stadium rock. So good idea, bad execution. So here I go pick a style I like and then take out my rotten tomatoes. So let's say Jazz-Fusion, a genre I like. But there are a few bands of which I think they're shite at it and the worst culprits are:

Brand X (by a country mile; I've seen slabs of marble that have more rhythm)
The Rippingtons
Spyro Gyra

[BARON CORNY DOG]

Mogwai
Godspeed You Black Emporer
The Make Up

BCB has convinced me to reconsider my opinion.

Genesis
Frank Zappa
King Crimson

[naughty boy]

Fine choices indeed!

Soft lad!

I could probably find odd tracks I like by all the bands I nominated but based on a large majority of what I've heard I'm sticking with my opinion of them as terrible

[Rorschach]

Mogwai
Godspeed You Black Emporer
The Make Up

BCB has convinced me to reconsider my opinion.

Genesis
Frank Zappa
King Crimson

Excellent choices. However, there is one Genesis track I don't hate so, for my choices, I'll swap them out for the Grateful Dead.

Grateful Dead
Frank Zappa
King Crimson

Sadly, no room for Queen, U2, Yes, ELP, post-Syd Floyd, etc.

[Lord Rother]

Meshuggah

Brian Eno

Soft Machine

[C]

Soft Machine

You won't be joining the John Marshall In Memoriam PSL on Friday then Bob...?

[Not a terrible band lad, but terrible choice - ditto Brian Eno]



.

[Lord Rother]

None of the bands mentioned in this thread are terrible in reality - just those commenting don't like 'em.

[naughty boy]

Big Big Train really ARE terrible, though.
