    Someone I know listens exclusively to the Beatles on the car radio. From all the Beatles hype, it should feel like a party, but instead it feels like you’re listening to jingle commercials during the whole ride.

      Probably doesn’t help that they’re so popular that their music was licensed and became synonymous with commercials.

      Same thing with the doors and all things Vietnam.

      Oh my God THANK YOU! You just described exactly how I feel about them and I’ve never been able to really figure out why they bothered me.

      Old school blink (Cheshire cat, dude ranch) Mark and Tom had a good interplay, and we’re each suited to the songs they sang. They may still do that but I can’t listen to anything newer than Mark, Tom, and Travis show

    Corey Feldman’s Angelic 2 the Core is without a doubt the worst album I’ve ever listened to. It is not just mediocre or underwhelming, it is not just a “miss,” it is actively and unforgettably horrible. Definitely worth checking out.

    Really surprised that no one’s mentioned Yoko Ono.

    Easily the lead singer of Kings of Leon. That whine in his voice makes me want to chug bleach.

    Linkin Park and Papa Roach. 2 okISH bands with the worst singers in music history. Shit gives me headaches.

    Scruffy the cat.

    Just the shittiest music. They were bad enough that despite it being over thirty years since the single listen I had of the one album I had, they still stand out for being bad.

    Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band. It’s essentially unlistenable.

    Not quite the answer to your question, but Cafe Tacvba. Great music, lousy singer, like that guy says about Red Hot Chili Peppers. Jesus Christ.

      Because unless you saw them live, where the lead singer was probably drunk, they’re a legitimately good band with a solid discography. It’s not even a Nickelback / Creed situation where the common consensus is to shit on them - they’re just overexposed for their few top-100 hits.

      “All Star” in particular is a self-aware criticism of people who give people shit for listening to Smash Mouth.

        Yeah. Live at an Edgefest. It’s was bad. Really really bad.

    My answer may not quite fit the topic. But I’ll share anyway.

    In the late 20-teens, ZZ Top and John Fogerty we’re touring together. My wife and I saw them on the Jersey Shore (thanks VetTix!) and Fogerty opened the show and absolutely killed it. Then ZZ Top played and Billy Gibbons just didn’t have it anymore. We left early.

    Several weeks later they played Jones Beach Amphitheatre and thanks to VetTix we got to go again. Once again Fogerty knocked it out of the park and Billy was just not up to snuff.

    It was sad.

    Interestingly, Billy Gibbons is featured on one of the tracks of Slash’s new album Orgy of the Damned. That track is the perfect fit for Gibbons and it holds together beautifully.
