Artists who have no talent, write annoying songs, are too commercial, are blatanly '80s or '90s, or just create trashy music.
The Worst Musical Artists Ever
1. Blood on the Dance Floor [Crunkcore, electropop, happy hardcore, dance-pop, pop rap, electroclash, synth-pop, trance, brostep, pop rock]
Arguably the worst artist ever, period. EDM already sucks, so why make it even worse by drenching it in a bunch of tasteless and overly explicit lyrics?
I might as well unfollow Dahvie Vanity, that attention whore. Sometimes, I agree with what others say about him, but even then he's so obnoxious. Such a criminal. Go seek attention somewhere else, Vanity. Nobody EVEN LIKES YOU, YOU STUPID MOTHERF***ER!!!!! I'll unfollow him, I'm not associated with a F*** LIKE HIM!!!! You pathetic, attention-starved jerk.
2. 50 Cent and Lil' Wayne [Gangsta rap, East Coast rap, pop rap, dirty South, chipmunk soul, conscious rap, crunk, R&B, rap rock, pop rap, power pop, post-grunge, electropop, trap, hardcore rap]
The worst rappers in history. 50 Cent and Lil' Wayne are everything wrong with commercial rap. Pop superstars who get big despite a weak flow, unintelligent lyrics, and annoying vocals. I hate them.
3. Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz
You know what I hate? When people who are into rap say that they hate death and black metal because they scream but still think Lil' Jon is good. It's the same junk except in hip-hop form. He screams so obnoxiously and says the same three words over and over ("yeah", "what", and "OK”). No originality to be found here.
4. T-Pain
Auto-Tune is overused and inescapable in all forms of music nowadays because of him. His auto-tuned voice is so embarrassing and he's a huge jerk. Whenever I hear Auto-Tune or an R&B rapper who does nothing but sing in Auto-Tune, I want to hurt myself.
5. Insane Clown Posse
Ha-ha. This is a laughable excuse for music. They're just too dumb to realize that the critics are right about them. Bozos, go eat your cornbread!
6. Master P
Out of all the rappers, this dude has got to be the lamest. Oh, and his son Lil' Romeo sucks too.
7. Bow Wow
What a joke.
8. Vanilla Ice
See Lil' Wayne and 50 Cent at #2.
9. J-Kwon
This belongs in the trash.
10. YoungbloodZ
Even more trash.
11. Lil' Rob
When it comes to Lil' Rob, you either hate him or you have never heard his music.
12. Kevin Federline
What's this world coming to?
13. Chingy
His voice is excruciatingly irritating, and he can't rhyme or rap for anything.
14. Ja Rule
He sounds like he's constipated. Somebody needs to give him some laxatives.
15. G-Unit
G-G-G-G-G-G-G-U-NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
16. Lloyd Banks
His flow is weak. He raps like a freakin' mummy.
17. Benzio
What a sad excuse for a rapper. Quit rapping and go back to your trashy magazine.
18. Sean Paul
Why do people listen to him? It's not like you can understand what he's saying anyway.
19. William Hung
If I need to explain why then there is no hope for you.
20. Koit [Novelty, dance-pop, synth-pop, electropop, musical comedy]
The grossest and most unfunny of novelty artists. He thinks song titles like "Flying Bum", “My Bum Goes”, "I Found Some Poo", "Scabs", "Snot", and “My Bum It Goes (Prrrp)” are the best he can come up with.
21. JC Chasez
Lame.
22. Baby Genius [Nursery rhymes, lullabies, classical (early), easy listening (early), pop rock]
Whoa. Talk about pure bubblegum. They were like the Muppets of the music world. Their music was catchy and unforgettable, yet they sounded so cheesy that it's almost like they were trying to parody the music scene at the time. They sounded so happy when they sang that you could imagine huge smiles on their faces while they were recording. At the same time, the music was just so overproduced and lifeless. This music really sounds like it was meant for little children.
23. Howdytoons
See Baby Genius above.
24. Limp Bizkit [Nu metal, rap metal, hip hop, groove rock]
Plain out irritating. Fred Durst tries so hard to be edgy but fails.
25. Crazy Frog
This is just silly kids' garbage and not actual music. But yeah, he sucks a lot. And since the entire world hates his guts, I might as well join the crowd for this one. It's good to be included in the majority, isn't it? As a side note, Kidz Bop is annoying kids' garbage too. Nothing like hearing radio songs you hate or love being screamed out by over a hundred kids.
26. Justin Bieber
The worst of the Canadian singers along with Avril Lavigne and the worst pop singer in existence. He can't sing because… well, because of too much Auto-Tune, and he sounded even worse as a teenager.
27. Taylor Swift [Country pop (early), soft rock (early), teen pop (early), dance-pop, folk pop, electropop, synth-pop, R&B, trap, chamber pop, folktronica, Americana, alt-pop]
See Britney Spears below.
28. Britney Spears [Dance-pop, teen pop, electropop, electroclash, synth-pop, R&B, bubblegum, synth-funk, electro house, brostep, Euro-trance, bubblegum bass, tropical house, future bass, twerk]
Corporate garbage for the masses. Her music is as saccharine as a handful of sugary candies. Her saccharine choruses and bubblegum pop hooks are as cloying as a cavity-inducing sugary confection. You can almost taste the artificial sweetness in every cloying lyric.
29. Jennifer Lopez
Who doesn't agree with me on this?
30. Miley Cyrus
As if her dad isn’t mass-pandering and horrible enough…
32. Carly Rae Jepsen [Dance-pop, electropop, synth-pop, folk pop (early), indie pop (early), electro house, sophisti-pop, synth-funk, R&B, electro-disco, nu disco, alt-pop]
The worst of the American Idol contestants.
33. Jesse McCartney
Garbage music for tweens.
34. Good Charlotte [Pop punk, emo pop, power pop, symphonic pop, gothic pop, new rave, post-punk revival]
No comment.
35. Fall Out Boy [Pop punk (early), emo (early), power pop, emo pop, dance-punk, glam pop, post-punk revival, electropop, synth-pop, pop rap, trap, symphonic pop]
Vomit-inducing.
36. The All-American Rejects [Power pop, emo pop, new wave]
Somebody should slap these whiny little "emo" posers.
37. Jimmy Eat World
Corporate, manufactured garbage for teenagers.
38. Panic! at the Disco [Power pop, soft rock, emo pop, dance-punk, electronica, psychedelic pop, baroque pop, folk pop, synth-pop, swing revival, dance-pop, big band, glam pop]
More "emo" garbage.
39. Gummibär
He's everything wrong with novelty music and Eurodance. He's cheesy, his voice is Auto-Tuned, he's for little kids, he has annoying melodic hooks… yeah, you know the drill. Gummibär just reeks 2000s.
40. Jessica Simpson
Can you say nauseating?
41. Hilary Duff [Teen pop, pop rock, post-grunge, dance-pop, electropop, R&B, electroclash, synth-pop]
Oh gosh, her music sucks badly. So does her sister's. The sad thing is that Hilary Duff is actually a talented actress. I mean, Lizzie McGuire is an awesome and nostalgic show. She wasn't talented enough to deserve to become a singer, though. She can't sing.
42. Aaron Carter (B.I.H.) [Teen pop, pop rap]
Aaron, your songs are garbage. Pure garbage. Go do something else!
43. Ryan Cabrera [Pop rock]
Yuck! I need a bucket.
44. The Jonas Brothers [Power pop, teen pop, dance-pop, R&B, synth-pop, electropop, soft rock]
The worst of the Disney idols and the worst power pop band in existence, period. They’re just another punk in-name-only band that relies on mass appeal and lyrics made to pander to teeny boppers. Even after cutting ties with Disney, they still suck.
45. Black-Eyed Peas
More pop rap garbage.
46. Clay Aiken
Another one out of the American idol junk machine.
47. The Click Five [Teen pop, power pop]
It's trash music for brainless little teeny boppers.
48. Milli Vanilli [New jack swing, dance-pop, hip hop]
Faker than a psychic with caller ID. Even if they could sing, the music was still annoying.
49. Billy Ray Cyrus [Country pop, pop rock, country rock]
This guy is the worst of the worst country pop/rock artists. His daughter Miley and her show Hannah Montana suck too. His songs are riddled with country music cliches.
50. Toby Keith [Country]
Good-for-nothing, ugly, nasty, stupid, smelly, stereotypical country trash.
51. Morgan Wallen [Country]
See Toby Keith above.
52. Carrie Underwood [Country rock, country pop, pop rock, CCM, adult contemporary, R&B, electropop, urban cowboy]
She’s way too stereotypical and represents everything wrong with country music. Mention daddy, cry because you got cheated on, smash a four wheeler, tell us you live in a small town, go on and on about whiskey, rinse, and repeat. Carrie, all you're doing is erasing and tearing apart everyone's taste in music. You're not making country music any better or more enjoyable.
And people call her "rock"? The fans of Carrie Underwood who consider her rock must be clueless as hell, because let's admit it, Carrie's music is pure, mainstream COUNTRY CRAP as much as it's POP CRAP!
53. Shania Twain
Her music is so overproduced. She also used to be married to Robert "Mutt" Lange of AC/DC and Def Leppard fame, and these rock bands also suffer from overproduction. That is all.
54. Baha Men
“Move It Like This” and the chart-topper “Who Let the Dogs Out” are such annoying songs. Probably the worst of the worst Jamaican groups because of the stupid lyrics they write and how annoying they are.
55. Celine Dion
Her voice melts my ears off. No wonder why I only bothered to listen to her first English album.
56. Michael Bolton
Easily the most annoying musician on the planet. Even back when he was rock instead of adult contemporary, he sounded manufactured and overproduced as hell.
57. Toni Braxton
She can’t sing for trash.
58. Keith Sweat
The king of new jack swing? His voice is so studio-enhanced. He sings like garbage live.
59. Bobby McFerrin
He crafted the stupidest song I've ever heard, "Don't Worry, Be Happy".
60. Ricky Martin
A sad commentary on the music world today. Even Selena (R.I.P. Queen of Latin Music) was way better than him, yet he tried to replace her. His only good and memorable song is "Livin' la Vida Loca".
61. Nickelback
So aggravating. They have no decent albums, so all of them are trash. I hate this band. They're big-time sell-outs and are easily the worst of the worst post-grunge bands. Hearty, comforting, and occasionally a bit heavy-handed, their guitar-driven anthems are akin to a juicy burger and crispy fries; satisfying, but not particularly adventurous. While not everyone will savor their flavor, there's a certain nostalgic appeal for some.
62. Mudvayne
The most aggravating band this side of Nickelback.
63. Goo Goo Dolls
Too sappy and boring. They also sold out by moving away from punk rock and cashing in on the post-grunge scene instead.
64. Hoobastank
AAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY EARS ARE BLEEDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
65. Avril Lavigne [Teen pop, power pop, post-grunge, adult contemporary, pop punk, emo pop]
And little teeny boppers call her punk. I remember her being described as diet punk/punk-lite.
She is known as the queen of posers, which has been used to refer to people who try to look like skaters when they're really not. Her fake rebellious atitude is so pathetic and her songs have stupid lyrics.
Avril Lavigne's early 2000s pop-punk sound is akin to a flavorful yet modest diner dish - familiar, a bit rough around the edges, and slightly nostalgic. Her catchy, angsty anthems are like a comforting frozen burger patty or a crispy chicken sandwich, easy to enjoy but not particularly groundbreaking.
66. Slipknot
What are you hiding behind those masks? It's not scary at all. You look like silly, ridiculous clowns.
67. Creed
I hate them. The lyrics are so uninspiring, and Scott Stapp has an annoying voice.
Creed, with their overwrought ballads and pseudo-profound lyrics, are the equivalent of a greasy, mass-produced fast food meal from McDonald's. Their brand of self-aggrandizing, arena-ready rock is as satisfying as a bucket of fries, but ultimately lacking in depth and nutritional value.
68. Evanescence
They're not scary at all. Maybe if they were thrash metal and not symphonic rock, they would've been great, but instead their entire concept is hackneyed and cliché. I'm sure all of their videos involve imagery of gargoyles or dark churches, or gargoyles sitting. What happened to the good old days of rock 'n roll! Tell me! Where are they, people?
69. Juan Gabriel
Latin music in my opinion is very weird. It can end up becoming background music for Mexican streets and restaurants if you play it too safe. If it has too much smoothness or synths, it can be very cheesy. If it’s played too loud, it’ll be obnoxious. Plus, it's about what instruments are used and how. If the song mostly consists of strings, then it can be either unpleasant or sleep-inducing. But it can be pretty interesting if you know which artists to look for. Just look at Santana! They’re far from boring and generic. Sadly, the same can’t be said for Juan Gabriel.
70. Starship
They burned the city of rock and roll with synthesizers and drum machines. How disrespectful. Even more disrespectful is that Grace Slick, Peter Wolf, and Mickey Thomas went on to screw up Heart five years after Roger Fisher left. To twist the knife even further, Starship is not a one-hit wonder. They saw two more big hits after "We Built This City", which were the power ballads "Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now" and "Sara". How? Just how?
71. Styx
Arena rock at its most irritating and bland.
72. REO Speedwagon
"Keep On Lovin' You", "Can't Fight This Feeling", "One Lonely Night", and "Time for Me to Fly" are all annoying and create cavities to the ninth degree. This band is the very definition of arena rock, which is all overproduced, corporate, and everything wrong with the 1980s.
73. Foreigner
I love how they claim to be hard rock, yet they're still one of the blandest rock bands around.
74. Pat Benatar
Nothing but glossy production, synths, and drum machines/gated drums. This is pure '80s cheese and I hate it.
75. Winger
The worst of the worst glam/hair/pop metal bands. Oh, and the most annoyingly sappy power ballads in history.
76. FireHouse
See Winger above.
77. Nelson
The Ricky Nelson of hair/glam/pop metal. In fact, both members are actually Ricky's grandchildren. Like Ricky himself was, this band is too plain and middle-of-the-road to even count as metal or hard rock.
78. Damn Yankees
Two awful bands and a cowboy poser for the price of one: Ted Nugent, Styx, and Night Ranger. These dudes are everything wrong with supergroups.
79. Bad English
They're not metal at all. They're a soft rock group whose only big hits were power ballads (UGH!). What’s more, they are a spin-off of Journey. As if that band wasn't enough of a disgrace to rock music…
80. Warrant
Sickening, sickening, SICKENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
81. W.A.S.P.
See Warrant above.
82. Vixen
They ripped off Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and they're too lightweight. We already had girls who proved they could rock hard like the Wilson Sisters (A.K.A. Heart) and Joan Jett years earlier. Vixen is just unnecessary.
83. Stryper
Christian metal is wrong on so many levels, and the clothes they wear are an eyesore.
84. Mr. Big
Unfortunately, their acoustic ballad "To Be with You" is all they're remembered for nowadays. Not only was it their biggest hit, but it sucks and is everything wrong with hair/glam/pop metal. This song also proves that Mr. Big would rather be terrible acoustic coffee shop musicians than metal or rock. They’re harmonizing like a barbershop quartet and the drummer is clapping his hands like an idiot.
85. Poison
One of those terrible hair/glam metal bands. It all sucks. No originality whatsoever.
86. Whitesnake
I hate them and their cringeworthy, sappy power ballads. And WTF is it with Tawny Kitaen? (R.I.P. girl. You were the sweetest girlfriend David Coverdale ever had. We'll miss you dearly.)
87. Europe
They go overboard on synthesizers and their melodic hooks are so annoying and simple. They are so ‘80s, and their biggest hit wasn’t even “The Final Countdown”; it was "Carrie", which is even worse and sickly sweet as hell.
88. Kix [Hair metal, power pop, glam rock]
These guys could rock pretty hard, but they fall under the category of "our only hit was a ballad". I'm not sure why this is, exactly. Maybe it's hard to be taken seriously when you share a name with a brand of kids' cereal. I mean, what the hell? Was the name "Alpha-Bets" already being used by another band? In their defense, "Don’t Close Your Eyes" has all the hallmarks of a ballad recorded under duress. It’s a meandering, listless song that the band doesn't seem into at all. You should follow the advice given in the title, or you’re likely to fall asleep while listening to it. Why was this garbage recorded? I think a shady manager must have been involved.
89. David Hasselhoff
This guy is just a joke. That’s all he'll ever be. Go back to television.
90. Jimmy Buffett [Yacht rock, pop rock, tropical rock, country rock, folk (early), country pop (early), Caribbean music]
Jimmy Buffet tackles cheeseburgers and margaritas while great songwriters tackle love and pain. His songs sound like he wrote his "classics" while flipping through an Applebee’s happy hour menu.
91. The Carpenters
The Carpenters are another one of those safe, boring early '70s groups that put everyone to sleep. These siblings just never did anything interesting, and their music all sounded like it was made for elevators or department stores for old people.
92. Def Leppard [Hair metal, heavy metal (early), AOR, pop rock, arena rock]
Their music is pure trash!!!!
93. Journey
Same reason as Def Leppard.
94. Night Ranger [AOR, hair metal, pop rock]
The Air Supply of hair/glam/pop metal. Their two biggest hits were power ballads, and their rock singles like “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me” were just mid-tempo mewls with all the profundity of rejected Rebecca Black lyrics.
95. Cinderella
Despite being more bluesy than most hair/glam bands, they still represent everything wrong with them: Bad hair, tacky outfits, and little talent. If you like melodramatic power ballads screeched by a parrot-voiced singer and surrounded by mediocre guitar riffs, then Cinderella is the band for you.
96. Faster Pussycat
Same as above.
97. Bon Jovi [Pop rock, hair metal, AOR, heartland rock, arena rock]
This band is so scathingly annoying.
98. Mötley Cruë [Heavy metal (early), hair metal]
One of the worst hair/glam metal bands, and everything about them just reeks '80s. I can't stand their over-the-top style or awful sense of fashion. They are just too lame for me to get into.
99. Sammy Hagar [Glam rock, pop rock, AOR, blues rock]
He screwed up Van Halen and his solo stuff sucks too.
100. Ted Nugent [Glam rock, blues rock, psychedelic rock, AOR, hair metal]
Mindless redneck garbage.
101. Toto
Toto is another one of those boring arena rock bands that plays things way too safe. Their music is just so unoriginal, inoffensive, and flat out boring.
102. Scorpions
They used to be pretty good, but everything after 1984's Love at First Sting just sucks. Even Blackout and Love at First Sting were signs that the band was selling out and becoming glam/hair/pop metal.
103. Smash Mouth
Their lyrics make no sense. Also, "All Star" is so overrated that listeners might as well have come to hate them—or at least that's what happened to them when they truly hit it big with "I'm a Believer". It doesn't help that the band is tied to Shrek, a blockbuster franchise that is great and nostalgic in its own right.
Their ethereal soundscapes are reminiscent of a carefully packed lunch; middle-of-the-road and easy to disgest, providing a sense of familiarity and understated satisfaction. Tracks like "All Star" and "I'm a Believer" are like neatly folded grilled cheese sandwiches or turkey roll-ups, comforting and easy to digest. You might not crave them every day, but they hit the spot when needed.
104. Third Eye Blind
"Do do do, do do-do do…" SHUT UP!!!!!
105. Vandenberg [Glam rock, AOR, hair metal]
They were forgotten within a year. Want proof that they deserve to have been forgotten so quickly? Their only hit “Burning Heart” is a power ballad. Yep. Power ballads are nothing but trash.
106. RATT [Hair metal]
Hair/glam/pop metal? What even is it? I'll tell you what it is, it's all manufactured crap.
107. Justin Guarini
Just shoot us all and spare us this garbage.
108. Michael Bublé
He seems like a cool guy, but then I heard him on the radio and thought "this is so boring". Big surprise: Every male pop singer of his era is boring.
109. Rod Stewart
He is so safe and boring like a lot of male pop artists. And God, his voice is terrible! I'd rather hear fingernails on a chalkboard.
110. Phil Collins [Pop rock, prog-pop, adult contemporary, ambient pop, art pop, sophisti-pop, jazz pop, pop soul, synth-pop]
He screwed up Genesis big time and made them go from a progressive rock band to a pop one. He sucks as an adult contemporary artist too. Unfortunately, the band's '80s and early '90s hit singles are the only known ones among the mainstream. Thanks a lot, Collins.
111. Mr. Mister [Pop rock, AOR, art pop, yacht rock, adult contemporary]
What a stupid name. The music is so cheesy. I want to scream because of them. They don’t even qualify as new wave.
112. Cutting Crew [Pop rock, synth-pop, AOR, sophisti-pop]
Oh, boy. Another new wave group who's pure pop. They're too light and mellow for anyone to handle them. I want to die in my mom's arms right now.
113. Asia [AOR, pop rock, art rock, symphonic rock]
Asia was formed from the remnants of three bands: Yes, King Crimson, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Unlike these bands, however, they're way too radio-friendly and don't even count as progressive.
114. Forever the Sickest Kids [Power pop, emo pop, electropop]
TOO. MANY. SYNTHESIZERS. AND. FAKE. DRUMS. AND. IMMATURE. LYRICS.
115. Cyndi Lauper [Pop rock, synth-pop, sophisti-pop, dance-pop, adult contemporary, standards, house, electropop, blues]
Unlike other '80s new wave acts (the Cars, DEVO, Duran Duran, Dexys Midnight Runners, Soft Cell, etc.), Lauper is pure pop. She has so many irritating love ballads (like "Time After Time" and "True Colors") and bubblegum songs (like "Material Girl" and "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun").
116. Rick Springfield [Power pop, post-grunge (later), soft rock, AOR, synth-pop]
His '80s stuff is awful and cheesy. He only sold out just to make a lot more cash and become famous.
117. Manfred Mann's Earth Band [Psychedelic rock, art rock, space rock, symphonic prog, pop rock, AOR]
Mann himself used to be great until he formed this band, and it's pretty standard pop rock if you'd ask me. I just never found any of their songs that exciting and I would rather listen to Bruce Springsteen's covered songs than them. Their music comes awfully close to being pure AOR and I'd barely even classify it as progressive.
118. DNCE [Dance-pop, synth-pop, nu disco, electronic, alt-pop]
Acid jazz, IDM, synth-funk, trip hop, and dark wave are better. This is dance-pop garbage, and all they’re doing is trying to emulate ‘80s funk.
119. Mark Ronson [Pop rap, pop soul, dance-pop, rap rock, synth-funk, jazz pop, synth-pop, psychedelic soul, R&B]
See DNCE.
120. DJ Casper
All pop rap is stupid. No exceptions. DJ Casper's "Cha-Cha Slide", like many pop rap songs, is just about the same topics as the rest: dancing and partying. No originality can be found anywhere.
121. Sum 41 [Pop punk, post-grunge, alt-metal, pop punk, melodic hardcore]
The ultimate poser band.
122. MxPx [Pop punk, melodic hardcore, post-grunge, Christian rock]
All Christian rock sucks.
123. Simple Plan [Emo pop, power pop, pop punk, post-grunge]
Juvenile and immature as hell. In fact, they made a song for the awful live-action Scooby-Doo movie called "Grow Up". They need to grow up and take responsibility for once.
124. fun. [Indie pop, pop rock, alt-pop]
Oh my god. Another poser band. They like to think they're a hipster band, but they're really not. They also try too hard to emulate Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and Arcade Fire. There's no reason to put a period at the end of your name either.
125. ABBA [Europop, disco, soft rock, art pop, adult contemporary]
Overly bombastic Europop and disco songs with too many strings and synths. Need I say more?
126. Culture Club
At the same time he was destroying the fashion world, Boy George also helped drive a stake through the heart of alternative music. Culture Club’s pop-laden fluff is so sickly sweet and the lyrics so sugary. Avoid them at all costs.
127. The Fray [Pop rock, post-Britpop]
Ever since “How to Save a Life” came on Scrubs, I’ve started appreciating it. It’s actually a pretty decent tearjerker. Everything else they did sucks. All their songs are sappy and overly emotional.
128. Taylor Hicks [Blue-eyed soul, soft rock, blues rock]
America actually voted for him? Really? That can't be true. He has made some of the most sleepy and boring music of all time. Since he hasn't been actively recording since 2009, we should all rejoice.
129. Coldplay [Pop rock, post-Britpop, dream pop, art rock, space rock, arena rock, art pop, chamber pop]
Unfortunately, they have become safer and more boring since 2008's Viva La Vida Death and All His Friends. They used to be very spacey and psychedelic, but now they've completely settled on middle-of-the-road pop.
130. John Mellencamp
He represents everything wrong with heartland and roots rock. Some things we know about him are that he's from a small town, he's in love with a nice girl, and he's just an average blue-collar guy. How do we know these things? Because they’re in every single Mellencamp song! I guess you could say that he's formulaic and unoriginal. Talk about a Midwest town, mention a small town girl, throw in a car reference, rinse, and repeat.
131. Train [Pop rock, post-Britpop, folk pop]
I just want to say that they suck and are lyrically going further and further downhill. Their biggest hit (“Hey Soul Sister”) and all the other songs from them I’ve heard are boring.
132. The Wallflowers
(yawn) So safe… and boring… and melancholy… (snoring)
This band is akin to a colorful, flavor-profiled sushi roll. Their tracks are a delightful mix of textures and tastes, each bite (or listen) providing a new experience. Other than that, they suck.
133. KISS [Glam rock, hair metal, pop rock]
Gimmickry. Pure gimmickry. Their music sucked and they knew it. That's why they wore make-up. To get attention. Believe me, when KISS stopped wearing make-up, y'all were probably asking "KISS who?"
134. Roger Waters [Art rock, prog-rock, rock opera, AOR]
He left Pink Floyd in 1985 and his departure ruined the band big time. His solo albums aren’t any better and are pure arena rock.
135. Lynyrd Skynyrd [Southern rock, blues rock]
No original members. That’s all I have to say. Gary Rossington wasn't even as important as the rest of the original members, a good chunk of whom were sadly killed in a plane accident… and the rest of whom have now died as well.
136. AC/DC [Blues rock, rock and roll]
They have overstayed their welcome for at least 35 years now. They used to be in the right place at the right time and gave us some basic/simplistic blues rock. They used to be the kings of blues rock and were much better than KISS. Then Bon Scott died in 1980 and AC/DC began to drift slowly downhill. They have been doing the same thing over and over for the past 40 or so years now, and they just aren't cool anymore. They sound like a band trying to go back to their glory days, only to fall flat on their faces in the process. Malcom Young also died in 2017 and was replaced by Axl Rose, who has made the band even worse. Speaking of Axl…
137. Axl Rose [Hard rock, acoustic rock, blues rock]
His band Guns N' Roses was actually talented, but unfortunately their music suffered due to him. His ego also sucks, he treats his bandmates like garbage, and he sings terribly. Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin needs to take over.
138. Jizzy Pearl
He severely screwed up Quiet Riot and made them go from a heavy metal band influenced by AC/DC to an Aerosmith knock-off. Kevin DuBrow (R.I.P.) shouldn't have died and gotten replaced.
139. Bob Seger [Heartland rock, blues rock, garage rock, pop rock, blue-eyed soul, Southern rock, blues rock, roots rock]
He used to be great and original, but became another generic heartland rock singer by the late '70s. He has gone downhill both stereotypically and in songwriting, while his post-1975 stuff is pure AOR with more of a rock and roll bent. His music became as unoriginal as roots/heartland rock is in general.
140. Aerosmith [Blues rock, glam rock, pop rock, AOR]
They haven't made a single good album since Rocks (1976). Their '80s and '90s stuff is all overrated. They even tried to piggyback on the success of 1973's "Dream On" by churning out more power ballads. Oh, how the mighty have fallen…
141. Muse [Art rock, prog-rock, space rock, EDM, pop rock, electronica, synth-wave, glam rock, alt-dance]
The great material they had in the late '90s and early 2000s is long gone. They sold out like Coldplay, Nickelback, and U2 did. How dare they?
142. Pepper
I have to admit that these guys do have musical talent, but they are huge Sublime wannabes. The most blatant rip-off I've ever heard in my life. They need to come up with something original.
The Worst Musical Artists Ever
1. Blood on the Dance Floor [Crunkcore, electropop, happy hardcore, dance-pop, pop rap, electroclash, synth-pop, trance, brostep, pop rock]
Arguably the worst artist ever, period. EDM already sucks, so why make it even worse by drenching it in a bunch of tasteless and overly explicit lyrics?
I might as well unfollow Dahvie Vanity, that attention whore. Sometimes, I agree with what others say about him, but even then he's so obnoxious. Such a criminal. Go seek attention somewhere else, Vanity. Nobody EVEN LIKES YOU, YOU STUPID MOTHERF***ER!!!!! I'll unfollow him, I'm not associated with a F*** LIKE HIM!!!! You pathetic, attention-starved jerk.
2. 50 Cent and Lil' Wayne [Gangsta rap, East Coast rap, pop rap, dirty South, chipmunk soul, conscious rap, crunk, R&B, rap rock, pop rap, power pop, post-grunge, electropop, trap, hardcore rap]
The worst rappers in history. 50 Cent and Lil' Wayne are everything wrong with commercial rap. Pop superstars who get big despite a weak flow, unintelligent lyrics, and annoying vocals. I hate them.
3. Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz
You know what I hate? When people who are into rap say that they hate death and black metal because they scream but still think Lil' Jon is good. It's the same junk except in hip-hop form. He screams so obnoxiously and says the same three words over and over ("yeah", "what", and "OK”). No originality to be found here.
4. T-Pain
Auto-Tune is overused and inescapable in all forms of music nowadays because of him. His auto-tuned voice is so embarrassing and he's a huge jerk. Whenever I hear Auto-Tune or an R&B rapper who does nothing but sing in Auto-Tune, I want to hurt myself.
5. Insane Clown Posse
Ha-ha. This is a laughable excuse for music. They're just too dumb to realize that the critics are right about them. Bozos, go eat your cornbread!
6. Master P
Out of all the rappers, this dude has got to be the lamest. Oh, and his son Lil' Romeo sucks too.
7. Bow Wow
What a joke.
8. Vanilla Ice
See Lil' Wayne and 50 Cent at #2.
9. J-Kwon
This belongs in the trash.
10. YoungbloodZ
Even more trash.
11. Lil' Rob
When it comes to Lil' Rob, you either hate him or you have never heard his music.
12. Kevin Federline
What's this world coming to?
13. Chingy
His voice is excruciatingly irritating, and he can't rhyme or rap for anything.
14. Ja Rule
He sounds like he's constipated. Somebody needs to give him some laxatives.
15. G-Unit
G-G-G-G-G-G-G-U-NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
16. Lloyd Banks
His flow is weak. He raps like a freakin' mummy.
17. Benzio
What a sad excuse for a rapper. Quit rapping and go back to your trashy magazine.
18. Sean Paul
Why do people listen to him? It's not like you can understand what he's saying anyway.
19. William Hung
If I need to explain why then there is no hope for you.
20. Koit [Novelty, dance-pop, synth-pop, electropop, musical comedy]
The grossest and most unfunny of novelty artists. He thinks song titles like "Flying Bum", “My Bum Goes”, "I Found Some Poo", "Scabs", "Snot", and “My Bum It Goes (Prrrp)” are the best he can come up with.
21. JC Chasez
Lame.
22. Baby Genius [Nursery rhymes, lullabies, classical (early), easy listening (early), pop rock]
Whoa. Talk about pure bubblegum. They were like the Muppets of the music world. Their music was catchy and unforgettable, yet they sounded so cheesy that it's almost like they were trying to parody the music scene at the time. They sounded so happy when they sang that you could imagine huge smiles on their faces while they were recording. At the same time, the music was just so overproduced and lifeless. This music really sounds like it was meant for little children.
23. Howdytoons
See Baby Genius above.
24. Limp Bizkit [Nu metal, rap metal, hip hop, groove rock]
Plain out irritating. Fred Durst tries so hard to be edgy but fails.
25. Crazy Frog
This is just silly kids' garbage and not actual music. But yeah, he sucks a lot. And since the entire world hates his guts, I might as well join the crowd for this one. It's good to be included in the majority, isn't it? As a side note, Kidz Bop is annoying kids' garbage too. Nothing like hearing radio songs you hate or love being screamed out by over a hundred kids.
26. Justin Bieber
The worst of the Canadian singers along with Avril Lavigne and the worst pop singer in existence. He can't sing because… well, because of too much Auto-Tune, and he sounded even worse as a teenager.
27. Taylor Swift [Country pop (early), soft rock (early), teen pop (early), dance-pop, folk pop, electropop, synth-pop, R&B, trap, chamber pop, folktronica, Americana, alt-pop]
See Britney Spears below.
28. Britney Spears [Dance-pop, teen pop, electropop, electroclash, synth-pop, R&B, bubblegum, synth-funk, electro house, brostep, Euro-trance, bubblegum bass, tropical house, future bass, twerk]
Corporate garbage for the masses. Her music is as saccharine as a handful of sugary candies. Her saccharine choruses and bubblegum pop hooks are as cloying as a cavity-inducing sugary confection. You can almost taste the artificial sweetness in every cloying lyric.
29. Jennifer Lopez
Who doesn't agree with me on this?
30. Miley Cyrus
As if her dad isn’t mass-pandering and horrible enough…
32. Carly Rae Jepsen [Dance-pop, electropop, synth-pop, folk pop (early), indie pop (early), electro house, sophisti-pop, synth-funk, R&B, electro-disco, nu disco, alt-pop]
The worst of the American Idol contestants.
33. Jesse McCartney
Garbage music for tweens.
34. Good Charlotte [Pop punk, emo pop, power pop, symphonic pop, gothic pop, new rave, post-punk revival]
No comment.
35. Fall Out Boy [Pop punk (early), emo (early), power pop, emo pop, dance-punk, glam pop, post-punk revival, electropop, synth-pop, pop rap, trap, symphonic pop]
Vomit-inducing.
36. The All-American Rejects [Power pop, emo pop, new wave]
Somebody should slap these whiny little "emo" posers.
37. Jimmy Eat World
Corporate, manufactured garbage for teenagers.
38. Panic! at the Disco [Power pop, soft rock, emo pop, dance-punk, electronica, psychedelic pop, baroque pop, folk pop, synth-pop, swing revival, dance-pop, big band, glam pop]
More "emo" garbage.
39. Gummibär
He's everything wrong with novelty music and Eurodance. He's cheesy, his voice is Auto-Tuned, he's for little kids, he has annoying melodic hooks… yeah, you know the drill. Gummibär just reeks 2000s.
40. Jessica Simpson
Can you say nauseating?
41. Hilary Duff [Teen pop, pop rock, post-grunge, dance-pop, electropop, R&B, electroclash, synth-pop]
Oh gosh, her music sucks badly. So does her sister's. The sad thing is that Hilary Duff is actually a talented actress. I mean, Lizzie McGuire is an awesome and nostalgic show. She wasn't talented enough to deserve to become a singer, though. She can't sing.
42. Aaron Carter (B.I.H.) [Teen pop, pop rap]
Aaron, your songs are garbage. Pure garbage. Go do something else!
43. Ryan Cabrera [Pop rock]
Yuck! I need a bucket.
44. The Jonas Brothers [Power pop, teen pop, dance-pop, R&B, synth-pop, electropop, soft rock]
The worst of the Disney idols and the worst power pop band in existence, period. They’re just another punk in-name-only band that relies on mass appeal and lyrics made to pander to teeny boppers. Even after cutting ties with Disney, they still suck.
45. Black-Eyed Peas
More pop rap garbage.
46. Clay Aiken
Another one out of the American idol junk machine.
47. The Click Five [Teen pop, power pop]
It's trash music for brainless little teeny boppers.
48. Milli Vanilli [New jack swing, dance-pop, hip hop]
Faker than a psychic with caller ID. Even if they could sing, the music was still annoying.
49. Billy Ray Cyrus [Country pop, pop rock, country rock]
This guy is the worst of the worst country pop/rock artists. His daughter Miley and her show Hannah Montana suck too. His songs are riddled with country music cliches.
50. Toby Keith [Country]
Good-for-nothing, ugly, nasty, stupid, smelly, stereotypical country trash.
51. Morgan Wallen [Country]
See Toby Keith above.
52. Carrie Underwood [Country rock, country pop, pop rock, CCM, adult contemporary, R&B, electropop, urban cowboy]
She’s way too stereotypical and represents everything wrong with country music. Mention daddy, cry because you got cheated on, smash a four wheeler, tell us you live in a small town, go on and on about whiskey, rinse, and repeat. Carrie, all you're doing is erasing and tearing apart everyone's taste in music. You're not making country music any better or more enjoyable.
And people call her "rock"? The fans of Carrie Underwood who consider her rock must be clueless as hell, because let's admit it, Carrie's music is pure, mainstream COUNTRY CRAP as much as it's POP CRAP!
53. Shania Twain
Her music is so overproduced. She also used to be married to Robert "Mutt" Lange of AC/DC and Def Leppard fame, and these rock bands also suffer from overproduction. That is all.
54. Baha Men
“Move It Like This” and the chart-topper “Who Let the Dogs Out” are such annoying songs. Probably the worst of the worst Jamaican groups because of the stupid lyrics they write and how annoying they are.
55. Celine Dion
Her voice melts my ears off. No wonder why I only bothered to listen to her first English album.
56. Michael Bolton
Easily the most annoying musician on the planet. Even back when he was rock instead of adult contemporary, he sounded manufactured and overproduced as hell.
57. Toni Braxton
She can’t sing for trash.
58. Keith Sweat
The king of new jack swing? His voice is so studio-enhanced. He sings like garbage live.
59. Bobby McFerrin
He crafted the stupidest song I've ever heard, "Don't Worry, Be Happy".
60. Ricky Martin
A sad commentary on the music world today. Even Selena (R.I.P. Queen of Latin Music) was way better than him, yet he tried to replace her. His only good and memorable song is "Livin' la Vida Loca".
61. Nickelback
So aggravating. They have no decent albums, so all of them are trash. I hate this band. They're big-time sell-outs and are easily the worst of the worst post-grunge bands. Hearty, comforting, and occasionally a bit heavy-handed, their guitar-driven anthems are akin to a juicy burger and crispy fries; satisfying, but not particularly adventurous. While not everyone will savor their flavor, there's a certain nostalgic appeal for some.
62. Mudvayne
The most aggravating band this side of Nickelback.
63. Goo Goo Dolls
Too sappy and boring. They also sold out by moving away from punk rock and cashing in on the post-grunge scene instead.
64. Hoobastank
AAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY EARS ARE BLEEDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
65. Avril Lavigne [Teen pop, power pop, post-grunge, adult contemporary, pop punk, emo pop]
And little teeny boppers call her punk. I remember her being described as diet punk/punk-lite.
She is known as the queen of posers, which has been used to refer to people who try to look like skaters when they're really not. Her fake rebellious atitude is so pathetic and her songs have stupid lyrics.
Avril Lavigne's early 2000s pop-punk sound is akin to a flavorful yet modest diner dish - familiar, a bit rough around the edges, and slightly nostalgic. Her catchy, angsty anthems are like a comforting frozen burger patty or a crispy chicken sandwich, easy to enjoy but not particularly groundbreaking.
66. Slipknot
What are you hiding behind those masks? It's not scary at all. You look like silly, ridiculous clowns.
67. Creed
I hate them. The lyrics are so uninspiring, and Scott Stapp has an annoying voice.
Creed, with their overwrought ballads and pseudo-profound lyrics, are the equivalent of a greasy, mass-produced fast food meal from McDonald's. Their brand of self-aggrandizing, arena-ready rock is as satisfying as a bucket of fries, but ultimately lacking in depth and nutritional value.
68. Evanescence
They're not scary at all. Maybe if they were thrash metal and not symphonic rock, they would've been great, but instead their entire concept is hackneyed and cliché. I'm sure all of their videos involve imagery of gargoyles or dark churches, or gargoyles sitting. What happened to the good old days of rock 'n roll! Tell me! Where are they, people?
69. Juan Gabriel
Latin music in my opinion is very weird. It can end up becoming background music for Mexican streets and restaurants if you play it too safe. If it has too much smoothness or synths, it can be very cheesy. If it’s played too loud, it’ll be obnoxious. Plus, it's about what instruments are used and how. If the song mostly consists of strings, then it can be either unpleasant or sleep-inducing. But it can be pretty interesting if you know which artists to look for. Just look at Santana! They’re far from boring and generic. Sadly, the same can’t be said for Juan Gabriel.
70. Starship
They burned the city of rock and roll with synthesizers and drum machines. How disrespectful. Even more disrespectful is that Grace Slick, Peter Wolf, and Mickey Thomas went on to screw up Heart five years after Roger Fisher left. To twist the knife even further, Starship is not a one-hit wonder. They saw two more big hits after "We Built This City", which were the power ballads "Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now" and "Sara". How? Just how?
71. Styx
Arena rock at its most irritating and bland.
72. REO Speedwagon
"Keep On Lovin' You", "Can't Fight This Feeling", "One Lonely Night", and "Time for Me to Fly" are all annoying and create cavities to the ninth degree. This band is the very definition of arena rock, which is all overproduced, corporate, and everything wrong with the 1980s.
73. Foreigner
I love how they claim to be hard rock, yet they're still one of the blandest rock bands around.
74. Pat Benatar
Nothing but glossy production, synths, and drum machines/gated drums. This is pure '80s cheese and I hate it.
75. Winger
The worst of the worst glam/hair/pop metal bands. Oh, and the most annoyingly sappy power ballads in history.
76. FireHouse
See Winger above.
77. Nelson
The Ricky Nelson of hair/glam/pop metal. In fact, both members are actually Ricky's grandchildren. Like Ricky himself was, this band is too plain and middle-of-the-road to even count as metal or hard rock.
78. Damn Yankees
Two awful bands and a cowboy poser for the price of one: Ted Nugent, Styx, and Night Ranger. These dudes are everything wrong with supergroups.
79. Bad English
They're not metal at all. They're a soft rock group whose only big hits were power ballads (UGH!). What’s more, they are a spin-off of Journey. As if that band wasn't enough of a disgrace to rock music…
80. Warrant
Sickening, sickening, SICKENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
81. W.A.S.P.
See Warrant above.
82. Vixen
They ripped off Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and they're too lightweight. We already had girls who proved they could rock hard like the Wilson Sisters (A.K.A. Heart) and Joan Jett years earlier. Vixen is just unnecessary.
83. Stryper
Christian metal is wrong on so many levels, and the clothes they wear are an eyesore.
84. Mr. Big
Unfortunately, their acoustic ballad "To Be with You" is all they're remembered for nowadays. Not only was it their biggest hit, but it sucks and is everything wrong with hair/glam/pop metal. This song also proves that Mr. Big would rather be terrible acoustic coffee shop musicians than metal or rock. They’re harmonizing like a barbershop quartet and the drummer is clapping his hands like an idiot.
85. Poison
One of those terrible hair/glam metal bands. It all sucks. No originality whatsoever.
86. Whitesnake
I hate them and their cringeworthy, sappy power ballads. And WTF is it with Tawny Kitaen? (R.I.P. girl. You were the sweetest girlfriend David Coverdale ever had. We'll miss you dearly.)
87. Europe
They go overboard on synthesizers and their melodic hooks are so annoying and simple. They are so ‘80s, and their biggest hit wasn’t even “The Final Countdown”; it was "Carrie", which is even worse and sickly sweet as hell.
88. Kix [Hair metal, power pop, glam rock]
These guys could rock pretty hard, but they fall under the category of "our only hit was a ballad". I'm not sure why this is, exactly. Maybe it's hard to be taken seriously when you share a name with a brand of kids' cereal. I mean, what the hell? Was the name "Alpha-Bets" already being used by another band? In their defense, "Don’t Close Your Eyes" has all the hallmarks of a ballad recorded under duress. It’s a meandering, listless song that the band doesn't seem into at all. You should follow the advice given in the title, or you’re likely to fall asleep while listening to it. Why was this garbage recorded? I think a shady manager must have been involved.
89. David Hasselhoff
This guy is just a joke. That’s all he'll ever be. Go back to television.
90. Jimmy Buffett [Yacht rock, pop rock, tropical rock, country rock, folk (early), country pop (early), Caribbean music]
Jimmy Buffet tackles cheeseburgers and margaritas while great songwriters tackle love and pain. His songs sound like he wrote his "classics" while flipping through an Applebee’s happy hour menu.
91. The Carpenters
The Carpenters are another one of those safe, boring early '70s groups that put everyone to sleep. These siblings just never did anything interesting, and their music all sounded like it was made for elevators or department stores for old people.
92. Def Leppard [Hair metal, heavy metal (early), AOR, pop rock, arena rock]
Their music is pure trash!!!!
93. Journey
Same reason as Def Leppard.
94. Night Ranger [AOR, hair metal, pop rock]
The Air Supply of hair/glam/pop metal. Their two biggest hits were power ballads, and their rock singles like “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me” were just mid-tempo mewls with all the profundity of rejected Rebecca Black lyrics.
95. Cinderella
Despite being more bluesy than most hair/glam bands, they still represent everything wrong with them: Bad hair, tacky outfits, and little talent. If you like melodramatic power ballads screeched by a parrot-voiced singer and surrounded by mediocre guitar riffs, then Cinderella is the band for you.
96. Faster Pussycat
Same as above.
97. Bon Jovi [Pop rock, hair metal, AOR, heartland rock, arena rock]
This band is so scathingly annoying.
98. Mötley Cruë [Heavy metal (early), hair metal]
One of the worst hair/glam metal bands, and everything about them just reeks '80s. I can't stand their over-the-top style or awful sense of fashion. They are just too lame for me to get into.
99. Sammy Hagar [Glam rock, pop rock, AOR, blues rock]
He screwed up Van Halen and his solo stuff sucks too.
100. Ted Nugent [Glam rock, blues rock, psychedelic rock, AOR, hair metal]
Mindless redneck garbage.
101. Toto
Toto is another one of those boring arena rock bands that plays things way too safe. Their music is just so unoriginal, inoffensive, and flat out boring.
102. Scorpions
They used to be pretty good, but everything after 1984's Love at First Sting just sucks. Even Blackout and Love at First Sting were signs that the band was selling out and becoming glam/hair/pop metal.
103. Smash Mouth
Their lyrics make no sense. Also, "All Star" is so overrated that listeners might as well have come to hate them—or at least that's what happened to them when they truly hit it big with "I'm a Believer". It doesn't help that the band is tied to Shrek, a blockbuster franchise that is great and nostalgic in its own right.
Their ethereal soundscapes are reminiscent of a carefully packed lunch; middle-of-the-road and easy to disgest, providing a sense of familiarity and understated satisfaction. Tracks like "All Star" and "I'm a Believer" are like neatly folded grilled cheese sandwiches or turkey roll-ups, comforting and easy to digest. You might not crave them every day, but they hit the spot when needed.
104. Third Eye Blind
"Do do do, do do-do do…" SHUT UP!!!!!
105. Vandenberg [Glam rock, AOR, hair metal]
They were forgotten within a year. Want proof that they deserve to have been forgotten so quickly? Their only hit “Burning Heart” is a power ballad. Yep. Power ballads are nothing but trash.
106. RATT [Hair metal]
Hair/glam/pop metal? What even is it? I'll tell you what it is, it's all manufactured crap.
107. Justin Guarini
Just shoot us all and spare us this garbage.
108. Michael Bublé
He seems like a cool guy, but then I heard him on the radio and thought "this is so boring". Big surprise: Every male pop singer of his era is boring.
109. Rod Stewart
He is so safe and boring like a lot of male pop artists. And God, his voice is terrible! I'd rather hear fingernails on a chalkboard.
110. Phil Collins [Pop rock, prog-pop, adult contemporary, ambient pop, art pop, sophisti-pop, jazz pop, pop soul, synth-pop]
He screwed up Genesis big time and made them go from a progressive rock band to a pop one. He sucks as an adult contemporary artist too. Unfortunately, the band's '80s and early '90s hit singles are the only known ones among the mainstream. Thanks a lot, Collins.
111. Mr. Mister [Pop rock, AOR, art pop, yacht rock, adult contemporary]
What a stupid name. The music is so cheesy. I want to scream because of them. They don’t even qualify as new wave.
112. Cutting Crew [Pop rock, synth-pop, AOR, sophisti-pop]
Oh, boy. Another new wave group who's pure pop. They're too light and mellow for anyone to handle them. I want to die in my mom's arms right now.
113. Asia [AOR, pop rock, art rock, symphonic rock]
Asia was formed from the remnants of three bands: Yes, King Crimson, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Unlike these bands, however, they're way too radio-friendly and don't even count as progressive.
114. Forever the Sickest Kids [Power pop, emo pop, electropop]
TOO. MANY. SYNTHESIZERS. AND. FAKE. DRUMS. AND. IMMATURE. LYRICS.
115. Cyndi Lauper [Pop rock, synth-pop, sophisti-pop, dance-pop, adult contemporary, standards, house, electropop, blues]
Unlike other '80s new wave acts (the Cars, DEVO, Duran Duran, Dexys Midnight Runners, Soft Cell, etc.), Lauper is pure pop. She has so many irritating love ballads (like "Time After Time" and "True Colors") and bubblegum songs (like "Material Girl" and "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun").
116. Rick Springfield [Power pop, post-grunge (later), soft rock, AOR, synth-pop]
His '80s stuff is awful and cheesy. He only sold out just to make a lot more cash and become famous.
117. Manfred Mann's Earth Band [Psychedelic rock, art rock, space rock, symphonic prog, pop rock, AOR]
Mann himself used to be great until he formed this band, and it's pretty standard pop rock if you'd ask me. I just never found any of their songs that exciting and I would rather listen to Bruce Springsteen's covered songs than them. Their music comes awfully close to being pure AOR and I'd barely even classify it as progressive.
118. DNCE [Dance-pop, synth-pop, nu disco, electronic, alt-pop]
Acid jazz, IDM, synth-funk, trip hop, and dark wave are better. This is dance-pop garbage, and all they’re doing is trying to emulate ‘80s funk.
119. Mark Ronson [Pop rap, pop soul, dance-pop, rap rock, synth-funk, jazz pop, synth-pop, psychedelic soul, R&B]
See DNCE.
120. DJ Casper
All pop rap is stupid. No exceptions. DJ Casper's "Cha-Cha Slide", like many pop rap songs, is just about the same topics as the rest: dancing and partying. No originality can be found anywhere.
121. Sum 41 [Pop punk, post-grunge, alt-metal, pop punk, melodic hardcore]
The ultimate poser band.
122. MxPx [Pop punk, melodic hardcore, post-grunge, Christian rock]
All Christian rock sucks.
123. Simple Plan [Emo pop, power pop, pop punk, post-grunge]
Juvenile and immature as hell. In fact, they made a song for the awful live-action Scooby-Doo movie called "Grow Up". They need to grow up and take responsibility for once.
124. fun. [Indie pop, pop rock, alt-pop]
Oh my god. Another poser band. They like to think they're a hipster band, but they're really not. They also try too hard to emulate Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and Arcade Fire. There's no reason to put a period at the end of your name either.
125. ABBA [Europop, disco, soft rock, art pop, adult contemporary]
Overly bombastic Europop and disco songs with too many strings and synths. Need I say more?
126. Culture Club
At the same time he was destroying the fashion world, Boy George also helped drive a stake through the heart of alternative music. Culture Club’s pop-laden fluff is so sickly sweet and the lyrics so sugary. Avoid them at all costs.
127. The Fray [Pop rock, post-Britpop]
Ever since “How to Save a Life” came on Scrubs, I’ve started appreciating it. It’s actually a pretty decent tearjerker. Everything else they did sucks. All their songs are sappy and overly emotional.
128. Taylor Hicks [Blue-eyed soul, soft rock, blues rock]
America actually voted for him? Really? That can't be true. He has made some of the most sleepy and boring music of all time. Since he hasn't been actively recording since 2009, we should all rejoice.
129. Coldplay [Pop rock, post-Britpop, dream pop, art rock, space rock, arena rock, art pop, chamber pop]
Unfortunately, they have become safer and more boring since 2008's Viva La Vida Death and All His Friends. They used to be very spacey and psychedelic, but now they've completely settled on middle-of-the-road pop.
130. John Mellencamp
He represents everything wrong with heartland and roots rock. Some things we know about him are that he's from a small town, he's in love with a nice girl, and he's just an average blue-collar guy. How do we know these things? Because they’re in every single Mellencamp song! I guess you could say that he's formulaic and unoriginal. Talk about a Midwest town, mention a small town girl, throw in a car reference, rinse, and repeat.
131. Train [Pop rock, post-Britpop, folk pop]
I just want to say that they suck and are lyrically going further and further downhill. Their biggest hit (“Hey Soul Sister”) and all the other songs from them I’ve heard are boring.
132. The Wallflowers
(yawn) So safe… and boring… and melancholy… (snoring)
This band is akin to a colorful, flavor-profiled sushi roll. Their tracks are a delightful mix of textures and tastes, each bite (or listen) providing a new experience. Other than that, they suck.
133. KISS [Glam rock, hair metal, pop rock]
Gimmickry. Pure gimmickry. Their music sucked and they knew it. That's why they wore make-up. To get attention. Believe me, when KISS stopped wearing make-up, y'all were probably asking "KISS who?"
134. Roger Waters [Art rock, prog-rock, rock opera, AOR]
He left Pink Floyd in 1985 and his departure ruined the band big time. His solo albums aren’t any better and are pure arena rock.
135. Lynyrd Skynyrd [Southern rock, blues rock]
No original members. That’s all I have to say. Gary Rossington wasn't even as important as the rest of the original members, a good chunk of whom were sadly killed in a plane accident… and the rest of whom have now died as well.
136. AC/DC [Blues rock, rock and roll]
They have overstayed their welcome for at least 35 years now. They used to be in the right place at the right time and gave us some basic/simplistic blues rock. They used to be the kings of blues rock and were much better than KISS. Then Bon Scott died in 1980 and AC/DC began to drift slowly downhill. They have been doing the same thing over and over for the past 40 or so years now, and they just aren't cool anymore. They sound like a band trying to go back to their glory days, only to fall flat on their faces in the process. Malcom Young also died in 2017 and was replaced by Axl Rose, who has made the band even worse. Speaking of Axl…
137. Axl Rose [Hard rock, acoustic rock, blues rock]
His band Guns N' Roses was actually talented, but unfortunately their music suffered due to him. His ego also sucks, he treats his bandmates like garbage, and he sings terribly. Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin needs to take over.
138. Jizzy Pearl
He severely screwed up Quiet Riot and made them go from a heavy metal band influenced by AC/DC to an Aerosmith knock-off. Kevin DuBrow (R.I.P.) shouldn't have died and gotten replaced.
139. Bob Seger [Heartland rock, blues rock, garage rock, pop rock, blue-eyed soul, Southern rock, blues rock, roots rock]
He used to be great and original, but became another generic heartland rock singer by the late '70s. He has gone downhill both stereotypically and in songwriting, while his post-1975 stuff is pure AOR with more of a rock and roll bent. His music became as unoriginal as roots/heartland rock is in general.
140. Aerosmith [Blues rock, glam rock, pop rock, AOR]
They haven't made a single good album since Rocks (1976). Their '80s and '90s stuff is all overrated. They even tried to piggyback on the success of 1973's "Dream On" by churning out more power ballads. Oh, how the mighty have fallen…
141. Muse [Art rock, prog-rock, space rock, EDM, pop rock, electronica, synth-wave, glam rock, alt-dance]
The great material they had in the late '90s and early 2000s is long gone. They sold out like Coldplay, Nickelback, and U2 did. How dare they?
142. Pepper
I have to admit that these guys do have musical talent, but they are huge Sublime wannabes. The most blatant rip-off I've ever heard in my life. They need to come up with something original.
