The 49 Worst Artists in Music History

Tarkus is a better piece of music than anything that ever came out of the punk rock movement, and I like punk.



You still haven't answered my question on what overindulgent crap even is and why Trout Mask Replica doesn't qualify.



So, even if a band is incredibly talented, just because they make music that isn't consistant with your particular brand of taste makes them the second worst band of all time?

Yeah, that is just stupid on so many levels. Even Yngwie Malmsteen, I don't dig his music too much, but to call him one of the worst musicians of all time when he's a hero to many talented musicians is just absolutely juvenile and offensive to me.

As for Asia, like I said earlier I'm not really a fan, they make watered down arena rock that isn't consistant with what I know they are capable of or the super proggy Roger Dean art. But that doesn't change the fact that they are all incredibly talented individuals who have produced brilliant music with three of the greatest banRAB ever (including one that is very high on this list), they are more talented instrumentalists than most people will ever be and most of the banRAB I actually do like, so for that I give them respect.

It's funny that you call them overindulgent though, because I think they are waaaaaaaaaaaay too restrained. It's as if they all have electric shock collars that go off whenever they do something that is too out there or too complex for mainstream appeal and these are musicians who are at their best when doing exactly that. For album covers that are so surreal and alien looking, the actual music is pretty standard pop stuff.

Still, I admire every single meraber of this band, even though I don't like the direction they took with Asia, a lot of people do and they still have a loyal following, so what the hell do I know? And Cartman likes them which is good enough for me.



Oh yeah, and you're telling me that YOU have never ranted about someone's subjective musical opinions before? This website is called music banter for a reason, that is what we do, and you're more guilty of it than most.
 
Yeah but he's saying The Doors hate is DUE to his personality, I'm asking why people would hate a band because of one of the meraber's personality and not base it on the music?

Piano is a classical instrument.. rock is guitar based. Suppose there's no set rule, I just prefer my guitars in rock music that's all..
 
Whitesnake isn't complete crap, and the Gypsy Kings had their fame, but they really should have stopped making music after their one hit song. Someones probably going to get mad about this but why don't you go ahead and throw the Jonas Brothers up on that list.
 
Yeah I don't see how anyone can consider a silly side-project cover band one of the "49 worst artists in music history". Really? I don't really listen to them but I do enjoy some of their covers, but regardless...they're a joke side-project. Anyone putting them on a "worsts" list is taking them far too seriously.
 
OHHHHHHHHHH YEAH.

Damn, talk about constipation of the brain.

Kinda forgot about the "American" part. Silly me.

Kinda explains the lack of Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Cure, The Smiths, Joy Division and all the other banRAB Blender constantly goes on about in a pathetic (and failed) attempt at gaining hipster approval.

Neil Young is in there though, America's finest musical journalists at work people.
 
Please humor me, how exactly is a double album where half of the tracks either sound like someone running over instruments with a steamroller or simply consist of a guy who can't sing chanting random jibberish in a cappela not at least a little overindulgent?



It would still be terrible list.
 
Don't get the point of it. Whilst the obvious crap banRAB are there, there's a few genuinely intelligent and creative outifts(Japan,The Doors) who did nothing to merit this.
 
They're a 'piano rock band'.. Surely an oxymoron there? But yeah I thought they were done :(
