Definitely Steven Seagal in that reggae song he did. This one.
I will upvote but I do not dare press the link. Yikes.
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.
But claims that we the best music…I am now disillusioned.
Another one
Congratulations, you played yourself.
Really surprised that no one’s mentioned Yoko Ono.
Is there a band called Yoko Ono? I ask, because I’m fairly sure there isn’t a singer.
The Plastic Ono Band… It is not good.
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.
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.
She’s really not that bad if you’ve ever heard Linkin park.
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.
Ahh. The licorice jelly bean of music.
“Gross… here, try it”
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.
I think he’d have one thing to say
“The joke Is on you!”
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.
Yup, it’s “The Room” of music
I posted it in reply to another comment, but I think this is worth it’s own mention.
Sweet… Jesus…
Saw it before, but never noticed the thumbnail before now. Couldn’t have found a more suitable one.
Easily the lead singer of Kings of Leon. That whine in his voice makes me want to chug bleach.
Hi there.
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.

The best thing about Nirvana is the Foo Fighters.
Sizzling hot take, lol
I call 'em like I see 'em. ;)
MOR version of Nirvana with a less dead singer so they can tour.
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.
Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band. It’s essentially unlistenable.
It ain’t easy listening, but there’s nothing else like it. Pretty interesting how it was made.
Can’t agree more. I’ve got it in my collection but (after many years and many attempts) I simply can’t make heads or tails of it.
It’s a journey for sure!
It’s a feature, though
It’s so goddamn janky that I was floored Safe As Milk was normal 60s fare.
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.
Smashmouth
Hey now…
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.
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.
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.
