HeAtHeN · 08-14-2003, 09:40 AM

HEY!! The Skinhead Broke my Walkman is a great song.

I'm shocked Cake didn't win... they suck ass.

BrinlyNoya · 08-14-2003, 11:11 AM

I'm suprised Yanni wasn't on thier worst ever list...

CyCo PL · 08-14-2003, 11:13 AM

ICP is pretty damn terrible

Charlatan · 08-14-2003, 11:21 AM

Butthole Surfers rock... Never heard ICP... Can't say that I am really interested. They look like the equivalent of a hard core 'nSynch...

fearofmear · 08-14-2003, 05:36 PM

I pulled the full list from another site. Here it is:
50-Iron Butterfly
49-Toad The Wet Sprocket
48-Master P
47-Goo Goo Dolls
46-The Spin Doctors
45-Gipsy Kings
44-Manowar
43-Mike & the Mechanics
42-Rick Wakeman
41-Whitesnake
40-Blind Melon
39-Bob Geldof
38-Nelson
37-The Doors
36-98 Degrees
35-Paul Oakenfold
34-Live
33-Japan
32-The Hooters
31-Arrested Development
30-Richard Marx
29-Skinny Puppy
28-Crash Test Dummies
27-Color Me Badd
26-Celine Dion

22-Primus
21-The Alan Parsons Project
20-Howard Jones
19-Dan Fogelberg
18-Pat Boone
17-Benzino
16-Oingo Boingo
15-Yanni
14-Yngwie Malmsteen
13-Mick Jagger
12-Tin Machine
11-Latoya Jackson

8-Vanilla Ice
7-Asia
6-Kansas
5-Starship
4-Kenny G.
3-Michael Bolton
2-Emerson, Lake, & Palmer
1-Insane Clown Posse

Any list that has Primus on it isn't worth discussing in my opinion. They just made the list for magazine sales.

BulletBob · 08-14-2003, 06:01 PM

That list makes no sense at all. One of the most influential bands in the history of music comes in at 37? Creed should have been rated much higher, like 2-3. Paul Oakenfold, Malmsteen, and Primus don't belong on that list either.

nostalgic1 · 08-14-2003, 08:16 PM

i agree that ICP does suck... horribly in fact...

but there a couple bands on that list that i don't believe do... the doors... the goo goo dolls... primus... just to name a few...

Insane Clown Posse Named Worst Rock Band

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Insane Clown Posse, the Detroit rap duo beloved by teenage boys for their creepy face make-up and X-rated lyrics, have been named the worst band ever by Blender magazine.

The music publication's September issue said Insane Clown Posse "sound even stupider than they look," and derided them for rapping about "40-ouncers and venereal disease."

Officials at the band's Psychopathic Records label were less than enthusiastic about the rating.

"They've brought themselves up from nothing to become an international musical phenomena (sic), and yet, somehow, they still get no respect from fine mainstream publications such as Blender Magazine," they said in a Web posting (http://www.insaneclownposse.com).

They noted that the Insane Clown Posse album dubbed the worst by Blender, "The Wraith: Shangri-La," actually received a three-star review (i.e. very good in its genre) in the publication's January/February issue.

No. 2 on the list was 1970s supergroup Emerson, Lake & Palmer, followed by once-hirsute balladeer Michael Bolton (news), mellow jazz saxophonist Kenny G. and the Jefferson Airplane pop spinoff Starship.

agentsmith · 08-14-2003, 09:14 PM

hell, I coulda told you that

although there are plenty of bands/singers on that list who shouldn't be there

Agreed. The list is bullshit in my opinion. There are a couple of good bands on there (including Primus). I hate lists like this because they always end up lumping in good bands with the shitty ones. I also noticed that they didn't have a lot of bands that I consider to be really awful (although I do agree with a few of the "worst band" selections).

Nooze2k · 08-14-2003, 09:25 PM

Blender... there's a reputable magazine.
Then again, Rolling Stone's taken quite a turn as well.
Funny how there's no Cra...err Pop music from the past few years on that list, let alone any Rap. Now I'm biased against it being a rock/blues/jazz guitar player (but I do know its not all bad), however Blender has always been Rap/Hip-hop/Pop oriented mainly. I'd like to see Spin's 50 worst.

Edit...
noticed Master P... still, not much hiphop on the list

Predator (tm) · 08-14-2003, 09:45 PM

Benzino is rap.

GuttersnipeXL · 08-14-2003, 10:10 PM

Worst and Primus don't go together in the same sentence...neither does ELP,...this list was made by fools PERIOD

37-The Doors

FUCK THIS LIST... primus i love them primus is a great band who you cant really classify with anyone else... paul oakenfold is one of the most influential ppl innt he history of electronic music... But THE FUCKING DOORS the doors are one of the best bands ever... i take this as a personal slap in the face.... as a musician and a writer... jim morrison is the reason i started writing... im extremely mad that the doors and worst are used even in the same conversation let alone putting them on a worst list... fuck that list... fuck it in its stupid ass

YaWhateva · 08-14-2003, 11:02 PM

That list is total bullshit, minus the ICP stuff, and the Creed and Goo Goo Dolls stuff (even though both of those bands should have been moved way way way up closer to number 1).

How can they even say that The Doors, Primus, or the Gypsie Kings are among the worst bands? Thats just horseshit.

kalisto_911 · 08-15-2003, 08:22 AM

My respect for Blender is on a Roller Coaster right now!

putting The Doors on that list immidiately opened them up for ridicule and why isn't Creed 2 or 3? At least Bolton had Faith hehe

curbserved · 08-15-2003, 09:46 AM

ummm.... not that i don't wish he wasn't but vanilla ice is rap.
this list is clearly bullshit, but icp deserves every bit of disrespect thrown their way
edit: arrested development is also hip hop, and i don't know what the hell they're doing on this list (they're responsible for the songs "tennessee," "mr. wendel," and "everyday people." their presence is confusing.)

nostalgic1 · 08-15-2003, 11:18 AM

the entire list confuses the hell out of me... period.

World's King · 08-15-2003, 01:31 PM

How you gonna dis Air Supply like that?

Derwood · 08-15-2003, 01:37 PM

Manowar has to be heard to be believed. Tremendous. Epic strides in hair metal untouched by anyone else. "Metal Warriors" is my favorite.

And despite what it is trendy to say on TFP (and FARK), Creed isn't THAT bad. I wouldn't buy their album, I agree they are overplayed, but it's not like they are completely incompetent. A few of their early songs are actually on my mp3 playlist.

YaWhateva · 08-15-2003, 01:46 PM

Creed is much more than bad, they are despicably horrible.

Spektr · 08-15-2003, 02:01 PM

Creed should be MUCH closer to the front

1973 · 08-15-2003, 02:54 PM

That list is the height of ignorance. None shall disrespect Jim Morrison!

What?! Oingo Boingo is one of my favorite bands, and I used to listen to the Spin Doctors as a Kid.

Aside from Creed, ICP, Yanni ect.... This list makes me mad. Stabbing mad

Foopius2 · 08-15-2003, 07:27 PM

yea spin doctors and blind melon stuck out like a sore thumb... old school bands

and of course the doors too

Holo · 08-16-2003, 09:41 AM

This whole list is stupid...Music is far too subjective to rate any band the worst ever. If they make more than one album someone bought the first one and some liked it. ICP suck now but if you don't take their previous music seriously (anything before BizaarBizzar) and just have fun with it then it's enjoyable. Ppl take music too damn seriously.

hiredgun · 08-16-2003, 11:44 AM

Live is an amazing band. these listmakers should die a fiery death.

The Doors... enough has been said about this already. They should NOT be anywhere near a worst list.

brandon11983 · 08-17-2003, 11:32 AM

lets not lose track of the idea at hand. that is.. that ICP FUCKING BLOWS. biggest bunch of fucking posers ever!!

Basket Case · 08-17-2003, 02:00 PM

Whatever man, we're looking at a magazine that has Fred Durst and Justin Timberlake quotes in every issue.

Whether you like the Doors or not (I Love The Doors!), they are one of the most important bands in music, and although I'm not a huge Primus fan, they don't deserve to be there either. And Mick Jagger? I mean, I know his solo stuff isn't great, but he's not one of the worst ever.

Malmsteen, Starship, Jamiroquai, I mean I don't like 'em, but they're not that bad.

And yeah, Master P sucks, but what makes him so much worst than most other rappers?

Maxims cool, but man, Blender sucks. I'd say your best bet with music mags (which isn't saying much) would be Spin, Q, and Chart.

CyCo PL · 08-17-2003, 02:06 PM

Yeah, after seeing Primus on that list, I'm going to have to agree that blender sucks. I love Primus.
