    Definitely Steven Seagal in that reggae song he did. This one.

    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.

      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

      Is there a band called Yoko Ono? I ask, because I’m fairly sure there isn’t a singer.

        Not a good singer, for sure. Here’s her wikipedia page, and if you want to hear her “singing”, check out the Beatles documentary “Get Back”.

          Did you honestly think from my comment that I didn’t know who Yoko Ono was?

          I was saying that whatever noises she makes, she isn’t a singer. Therefore she doesn’t qualify for a mention in the “worst band or singer” category.

    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.

      Anything by Corey Feldman at this time is valid. Like, I know they say to follow your dreams and everything. But there’s also the part where realizing that you’re not fit for that particular dream and you could maybe try something else.

      Someone should tell him.

      angelic 2 the core is one of the only albums i’ve ever listened to that is so bad i enjoyed listening through the whole thing. i feel like most people understand that feeling with movies, but this one album is the only time i’ve felt it with music.

            I wouldn’t say the Foo Fighters are any kind of Nirvana, let alone a MOR version. There are a lot of significant differences between the two. Probably the biggest one being that the Foo Fighters have a decent number of songs that are listenable from beginning to end, whereas Nirvana only ever came close once with Lithium, but still fucked it up by making the bridge vacant gaze, drooling mouth agape level stupid.

    Red Hot Chili Peppers, best band ever, but boy is Kiedis a bad vocalist. Kudos perhaps for not doing auto tune.

    Fleas energy made up for it and the songs are all bangers so it kind of pushed you over it. But if you keep focused on the vocals it’s shit.

      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.
