Worst Rock Band Ever !!!!

I would say that many bands go through a lot of phases, from stoned soul, out of sight, to trying to recreate their former boogie and not quite ever getting there.  Its understandable (because I would also) how some people could not like certain bands that they did not hear during the bands best years which are often their earliest.

With that in mind, IMHO, I would remove from the worst rock band ever list: Pink Floyd, Springsteen (Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out), Grateful Dead (Loved Anthem to the Sun), Dylan, Buffet, Rolling Stones, Grand Funk (Some Kind of Wonderful, I'm Your Captain), Led Zeppelin, Steve Miller (Your Saving Grace) and BDP24, I agree with you on Blue Cheer but I did get into "Summertime Blues" on whatever album it was.  Kind of had to be there then for that one.

Just sayin.

For anyone who hasn’t heard it yet, the sole album by The Shaggs is a real trip. They were a three-sister garage band out of New Hampshire in the late 60’s. That album became legendary for the girls complete ineptitude, and the perverse sense of humor of the members of NRBQ lead them to re-released it in the 70’s. Oh, it’s bad. But not as annoying to me as the singing of Michael McDonald, Steve Perry, and Steven Tyler. Or the enormous pretentiousness of the "classically-influenced" music made by "classically-trained" musicians such as Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. In fact, pretty much all "progressive" music. What’s the matter guys---not good enough to make it into a professional orchestra, playing genuine Classical music?

Brian Wilson took the knowledge gained by studying music theory and composition to write great songs, not record Classical music with 3/4/5 "band" instruments, music that was written to be performed by an orchestra. Hearing "Pictures At An Exhibition" performed by a Pop group is torture to me---ridiculous and disgusting.
