    9. Simple Plan-I have a simple plan…never buy their albums. This might have been the band that started the whole Emo movement. You know what Layne Staley did when he was down…heroin, you want to know what Kurt Cobain did…blew his head off. These were guys with real issues that bleed through into their music. Most of these newer bands just bitch about mommy and daddy not loving them. But i guess when your 12 and you think mommy and daddy don’t love you then this type of music is perfect for you.

    I hate Simple Plan as well but TBH, I got sick of the "woe is me" attitude that came from Cobin and Staley as well.

    I just don't care enough about Creed and Nickelback to say I hate them. My worst bands grate on my being like a razor to a wrist. Bands like these....

    Oasis
    Razorlight
    The Ting Tings
    The Verve (one song from them is fine, but the rest is rage-inducingly boring)
    Queen
    Anything involving Pete Docherty... Kids, don't take docherty!
    Pendulum (Get off the stage, you're embarrassing yourself... it's not cool, it's not clever, it's definintely not funny, and most of all... stop calling it Drum 'n Bass... fast rock beats with shit synths over the top don't make it D'nB)
    UB40
    Abba
    Limp Bizkit

    so do you guys hate any bands who have actually left an actual impact on the art of music, or who are well respected, instead of flash-in-the-pan mainstream rock/pop acts?

    let's try coming up with some originality, instead of these softball acts that pretty much everyone hates already.

    the only interesting response i've seen is Sigur Ros

    Here's some I'll throw in:
    Jack Johnson
    Art Brut
    Mars Volta
    Gnarls Barkley
    Him
    Battles
    Flight of the Conchords
    Ozomatli
    Mates of State
    Tegan and Sara

    Nelson
    Good Charlotte
    Fall Out Boy
    Winger

    Post-'Black album' Metallica without a doubt. Talk about a band that just threw it on cruise control.

    Huh? Most of my list are very well respected, yet shit, bands.. who have 'actually left an impact on the art of music'.

    Jack Johnson? When did he do that? Flash in the pan.

    Gnarles Barkley? Flash in the pan.

    Him? Flash in the pan.

    Battles? Flash in the pan.

    Flight of the Conchords... pretty funny, but probably flash in the pan.

    Either way, you can name some obscure band names which a lesser person hasn't heard of. Well done. :)

    Jackyl? come on man , any band that uses a chainsaw in a song cant be in that top 10. I remember back in the day seeing a girl in a grocery store with a Jackyl shirt on , on the back read "Rock me , Roll me, Jackyl me off!" I instantly wanted to take her home to meet my mom.

    To the guy who said the Dead and Phish - really? You don't like them (given) but "worst ever"? C'mon now. They have more talent in their pinkies than most bands you will see listed here.

    Who says i was specifically pointing you out? I was making a generalization, obviously in any generalization there will be outliers...calm down, it's going to be okay.

    and in my defense of my picks

    jack johnson has been around for 7 years now releasing the same album over and over again, and he consistently gets good press.

    Gnarls Barkley - danger mouse is hailed as a genious and has done a lot for indie music, but i find him uninteresting

    Him- turned metal into something that tweens can enjoy

    Battles - hailed as 'math rock' geniouses, but they have no substance behind them.

    and i'm not sure why me calling out these bands makes you think i'm trying to ride a high horse. These are bands that are out there for anyone to listen to, i don't enjoy them, but others do.

    I just don't think we need to point out the obvious by saying nickleback, creed, and maroon 5 in 30 different posts.

    so again...just relax...don't take things so personally

    Nothing taken personally mate and sorry if I came on too strong. Sometimes I debate with a mallet rather than a feather. :)

    That said, I think that 'the worst bands in the world ever' DO tend to be obvious and famous most of the time, as they are loved and HATED in equal measure. The people who hate them can't see why in the hell they have fanbase they do and that provokes the reaction.

    Well, after seeing a couple of people list Queen, I figured that this was more about who you really didn't like as opposed to talent.

    I don't question their talent at all, I just have issues with that whole scene and they seem to always be at the top of the list. I think a great band should have a quality catalog of studio work and not rely solely on their live shows. Granted, the Dead and Phish have some decent songs, but looking at their body of work as a whole it's pretty poor.

    And I have a huge issue with expecting your fans to have to trip on their favorite drug while you play a 20-minute version of every song just so they can "get it'.
