    Tom DeLonge : Blink-182

    Never hit right for me. Terrible voice. Nasally and whiny. Wanna be punk. Men in their mid to late 20s singing about the drama only a 15-year-old in high school would care about or experience. It was weird.

    I had no issue with Billie Joe Armstrong and Greenday. I really enjoyed their career and catalog.

      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

    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.

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

          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.

            I couldn’t tell, so the gamble was either I get whooshed, or I help someone become one of today’s lucky 10,000. I guess I got the former, lol.

    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.

      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.

      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.

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

    The worst recorded sound that I have ever heard was Kurt Cobain doing a mic check on a Nirvana live bootleg. Like a tortured cat with laryngitis.

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

    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.

    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.

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

      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.
