The Worst Bands of All Time

39,550 views 268 items

The worst bands in music history, ranked by music fans (and haters.) This list contains the most awful bands to listen to from throughout the history of recorded music, suggested and voted on based on a variety of metrics, including popular bands least deserving of their fame and fortune, artists who shamelessly ripped off other, superior acts and just bands that don't know how to play their instruments or write songs. Obviously, the majority of choices will be rock bands, but any ""musical group"" or bands are technically eligible. Think the worst band of all time is a jazz band? Hate polka bands as much (or more) than Nickelback? Suggest your least favorite group by making your own list and including them! (Please, don't include individual musical artists who aren't in bands. You may hate Sting, but unless you also hate The Police, save it for another list!)

What makes a band go from just being terrible to epically earning ""Worst Band of All Time"" status? For some, there's an original inkling of a good sound in there that just gets weighed down by poor decisions, excessive drug use and bad production. For others, it's a total lack of songwriting ability that renders the band - as a whole - incapable of producing quality music. Some bands just have no business being together in the first place, so incapable are they of playing in sync and producing pleasant music. And then some bands may have limited talent but waste it by producing songs and albums that are overblown, slickly commercial and hollow.

This list collects all these examples of terrible bands with no business recording music, and more. It will be a great guide for keeping track of musicians and artists to avoid next time you are on iTunes or Amazon.

      This is the most pathetic list I think I've ever seen on Ranker. Perhaps if it was retitled 'bands I hate' it would make a lot more sense because most of the voters evidently don't know what 'bad' is. That's not to say there aren't some deserving entries (like the Black Eyed Peas), but the majority on the list can at least play their instruments and sing on key. You want 'bad,' go listen to some of the original 'influential' punk bands like The Sex Pistols or Black Flag, who didn't even know how to play and just flailed on guitars and screamed into microphones. How can you rate an actual band like Nickleback lower than one-hit novelty crap like Chumbawamba or imposters like Milli Vanilli and Ashlee Simpson? What a joke.

      Where's Crush 40, they are the worst band ever. I never heard a good song by them because they stink dirty donkey farts that come from Asia and can be smelled as far away as Greenland.

      So LMFAO is the #12 worst band ever, but they have the #17 best song of the year with "Sexy and I Know It" on another one of your lists.
