Worst Rock Band Ever !!!!

Has to be the band that did that horrid "Pina Colada Song". Remember that one with the lyrics "If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain". That sends me running screaming from the room. I challange anyone to come up with a more vapid, insipid, inane song than that one. But then again there was also Archie Bell and the Drells and thet horribly awful song "Do the Tighten Up".

Well that song while officially awful is both by a solo artist and a one hit wonder so I am not sure that exactly fits this thread but make no mistake that is a LOW LOW point in music for sure!

May I humbly submit Captain Beefhart, with all due respect to the recently departed Don Van Vleet.

As far as insipid lyrics go, I gotta put "...yummy yummy yummy I've got love in my tummy..." right up there. Thank god for AM transistor radios for shielding us from being able to hear such dreck full range.

I think I would put Captain Beefheart in the avant garde catagory, as they were pretty experimental, although some their early stuff is pretty accessible. I would classify them as difficult rather than worst. His name was actually Don Vilet. He added the Van because he liked the way it sounded. And thanks for using the word dreck. What a great word. You gotta love Yiddish. Where would we be without words like dreck and schmick.

Ok, just for the record, I googled the old boy and it's actually Van Vliet according to the google gods.

As for the experimental designation, I guess that's cool. All I know is that my "experiment" started and ended with "Trout Mask Replica".
