Here's the worst bands, artists, & pop acts of the last 23 years.

I didn't list Beyonce & Gloria Estefan's solo work since they're not as different with the group they're originally from.


Plus, Madonna, Michael Jackson, & Metallica doesn't count since they were really good  at one point in their career.  8)
Though I did rank Whitney Houston since I never liked her music, except for "I Wanna Dance With Somebody".

BTW, I'm not from VH1, Rolling Stone, MTV, Blender, etc.  8)

And I like 1 or 2 songs from a few of the bands I listed. (Not Saying  :-X, though I did mention a Whitney Houston song I like)

...The #1 All Time Worst Band/Artsis/Pop Act of the MTV era...

What's your opinion? Good or Bad.

And what artist(s) would you add or disagree with on the list.  :)

yes, many of those artists listed are stinkers. a very dear friend of mine absolutely loves manowar, number 83 on your list. they are the worst metal band in all of metal history. in fact, their lyrics are so cheesy, it's good. manowar is like spinal tap come to life.

How can you like one or two songs by some of the people on your list but still consider them some of the worst in the last 23 years??

For me, I too could probably come up with 20 songs from artists in that list, that well, I'd be lying if I said I didn't mind hearing one or two of their songs on my car's radio.

It's the "artists" that I can't think of one song I like that are the truly awful. And they know who they are.

:)

For example:

Like the mention Whitney Houston song "I Want To Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)" have a great beat, but I can't stand her voice.

And "Seventeen" by Winger is a good song, but might as well been done better by Motley Crue. And "Miles Away" is a fairly good song. Their wretched cover of "Purple Haze" & "Easy Come, Easy Go" are very dissmissive.

The songs I'll mention:


"U Can't Touch This" MC Hammer, great dance song (Maybe because of the Rick James sample) ...but his other songs are really cheesy

"Kiss Me Deadly" Lita Ford, a catchy/fun song, but I consider Lita Ford as a joke (Same with Winger)

"I Think We're Alone Now" Tiffany, Also has a great beat. But I find Tiffany's voice to thin. Unlike Deborah (Then Debbie) Gibson, who's not on the list since I like a couple of her songs.


"Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins, another guilty pleasure. Better if done by Glenn Frey. But I don't care for other hits like "Footloose".


"Little Things" Good Charlotte , a catchy song. The only song from that I  like since I consider them the "Winger" of the pop punk genre.


"I Wanna Be Somebody" W.A.S.P. , another hairmetal  guilty pleasure. And most of the other material are too dark & dissmissive to my taste.

"Neautron Dance"  The Pointer Sisters, a fun catchy song with a good beat. But the rest of their songs sound too dissmissive & '70's disco for my taste. (Though I'll admit to like "Heart Of Glass" by Bolndie and a couple '70's funk songs)

And finally...



"Freak On A Leash" Korn, only because of the breath taking music video.

well, I dont agree with much of this list....I think Norah Jones, Moby, Oasis, etc are good artists

I cant do a list now, maybe Ill do one soon

i just went through the list and i LIKE(or used to,at least) 48 out of the hundred listed..to each their own,right  ;)

i like 13 of 'em

Just out of curisosity here, firstly is that just your opinion or did you like read it somewhere, and secondly.. ohmigosh, how is Slayer awful, how are maroon 5 awful, how are the prodigy awful, how is paula cole awful.

Anyway assumeing those are the hundred worst, who are the hundred best?

I think there are some in the list that's up to discussion, but not all of them are bad. Unfortunately, you picked some good acts (e.g. Norah Jones, Sade) to place with some mediocre bands/artists. IMHO, not liking their voices doesn't mean that they are bad singers. Hello, where are Jessica Simpson and Ashlee Simpson? Now that's bad. Where's your logic?

Tanya

^ hey,Tanya..you forgot my fave Lindsay Lohan(kidding,of course)  ;)

For the most part I agree with that list.  I do like a couple of those artists, though...

I really don't think The Pointer Sisters should be on that list.  They are an excellent vocal group!  :)

:o There's at least five acts on therer that I like... Wilson Phillips had one good song, I guess, as did Chumbawumba, but... Ace of Base?  How cruel!  However, I do agree with the top ten... Vanilla Ice would be #1 on my chart, however :)

My top ten worst bands/solo people

10: Avril Lavigne (she can't sing)
9: Nickelback
8: Frankie Goes To Hollywood (There music is fun, but the lyrics makes me sick)
7: Marilyn Manson
6: Las Kechup
5: A Choros Line
4: FaKe
3: Creed (ZzZzZz)
2: Guns'n'Roses
1: Deftones

^ hey,Tanya..you forgot my fave Lindsay Lohan(kidding,of course)  ;)


HA!  :D  ;D

Tanya

10: Avril Lavigne (she can't sing)


She can't sing all that well but she can definitly sing better than Ashlee Simpson can.

Just out of curisosity here, firstly is that just your opinion or did you like read it somewhere, and secondly.. ohmigosh, how is Slayer awful, how are maroon 5 awful, how are the prodigy awful, how is paula cole awful.

Anyway assumeing those are the hundred worst, who are the hundred best?


It's from my opnion.

Slayer... a hate rock band that would make Eminem look like Hanson. And that's saying something.

Maroon 5... another bland Adult Contemporary rock band that's overplayed on the radio

The Prodigy... A schock/techno group that sounds like a nails scratching on a chalkboard.

Paula Cole...  (This Comment May Be Too Offensive To Post  :-X )

IMO, Ashlee Simpson is a fairly good singer. Despite of the recent SNL fiasco. And I haven't heard Jessica Simpson's material except for her cover of "Take My Breath Away", which was bad.

*bows humbly at your well thought out and justified hatred*

I like Oasis, but it is a Beatles ripoff.

I posted a "Best" list on the "Woops 100 Favorite Bands of the last 23 Years" thread on this forum.  :)

I can't argue with your feeling over Jessica's screw-up, oops, cover! It sucked, but I do ask that you listen to more of her stuff. Even though I can't stand her either, I'd rather listen to her than her sister.
