The worst people, movies, shows, teams, and other things that everyone just hates.

That's the Worst!

Bands/Musicians

Taking the title as one of the worst current musicians is a tough pill to swallow, but someone's got to claim it—and we fans will surely do it for them. Though they all might try their hardest, some bands and musicians&nbsp;just don't have what it takes to make great music. That, or they are in fact great musicians who like terrible music and think everyone else likes it too. Whether it's one or the other, these groups to follow are considered by many to be the worst musicians of their time, and may go on as the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-worst-bands-of-all-time" target="_blank">worst bands ever</a>. While we don't all mean to be so cruel, these bands have to find out someway or another. And hey, maybe they'll start making some good music—it's doubtful, though.Determining the worst music artists&nbsp;can be quite subjective, but these singers, bands, and rappers to follow earned it. While many of who's considered the worst artists out fall under the pop and rap genres,&nbsp;it's not all pop singers and hip-hop artists. Plenty of bands know how to make bad music as well. Just ask the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/worst-rock-bands/ranker-music" target="_blank">worst rock bands of all time</a>.From annoying little teenagers to washed-up men&nbsp;who just need to quit making music, this list of the worst current musicians has them all. And if it doesn't, be sure to add them and vote them up to ultimately rank them all from worst to less worse.

The <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-female-voice-ever?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">greatest female vocalists</a> of the 2000s from all over the globe duke it out to see who has the best voice. While every artist on the list has had a great deal of success and many of whom very popular, these international vocalists were chosen for their versatility, emotion, vocal range, power and mastery in pop, rock, r&amp;b, and country music. This list includes the likes of Adele, Florence Welch, Pink, and Lady Gaga. There is also another special criteria--all of these women have less than 20 years of musical experience, which means this disqualifies artists like Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Mary J. Blige, etc. Fans have the power to vote on who which female artist has the best voice in music of the new millennium.

Who is the best songwriter alive today? The musician responsible for the lyrics and music that&#39;s the most memorable, significant and lasting in all of rock history, who is still with us today. We&#39;re talking, over the course of an entire career, the person who has written the most great songs--the best songwriters of the 21st century. A few things to keep in mind: (1) Songwriting teams are acceptable if they truly worked together (for example, Elton John writing music to Bernie Taupin&#39;s lyrics). When possible, as in the case of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, separate them and focus on individual songwriting. (2) LIVING songwriters. Living. (3) I think the ratio of &quot;great songs&quot; to &quot;not good songs&quot; is important to consider. If someone has 2 classic albums of great songs and then 5 albums worth of garbage, that impacts the overall view of the career, no matter how good the original work was. Something to keep in mind.

The best rock vocalists of all time are the frontmen of our favorite rock bands or those solo artists whose voices are some of the best ever. These talented men and women of rock could easily captivate audiences with just their vocals. Their voices set them and their bands above the rest and define them as the best rock <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/20-greatest-singers?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">singers of all time</a>. List includes both men and women.&nbsp;

To be included on this list, the vocalists must be primarily known for their association with rock music and (obviously) must have a great voice. That really doesn&#39;t narrow down the many greatest rock singers in recent rock music history, though a certain few stand out as above and beyond all the rest. Greats like Robert Plant, David Bowie, Steve Perry and Neil Young come to mind, as do icons like Bono, Mick Jagger and Bruce Springsteen.

While there are many notable vocalists of today&#39;s rock music, arguably many of the best rock vocalists of all time are those from earlier generations. Elvis Presley, Freddie Mercury from Queen, John Lennon from The Beatles, Jim Morrison from The Doors and Bob Dylan are only a few of some of the best rock vocalists ever but also some of the most influential singers of all time. Freddie Mercury especially had an amazing voice and was ranked second only to Mariah Carey by <a href="/list/mtv_s-best-voices-in-music-ever/music-lover">MTV for the best voices in music ever</a>.

A perfect combination of range, power, articulation and control is needed to become one of the <a href="/list/rolling-stones_-100-greatest-vocalists-of-all-time/music-lover">greatest vocalists of all time</a>. All of those can be taught but the natural ability to have that golden voice, as all of these great rock vocalists possess, is nothing that can be learned. Have a favorite rock singer that we missed? Think one vocalist should be above another? Want to put these singers in your own order? You can do all that and more be voting on, re-ranking and adding rock vocalists below! Rock on!

Bluegrass is prominent in the region as well as&nbsp;Appalachian <a href="https://www.ranker.com/tags/folk-music?ref=internalCrossLinking_tag">folk music</a>. This type of music draws influence from English ballads and songs from Scotland and Ireland. Merle Travis, a famous country and western singer born in the state, developed a new style of guitar picking that was later named after him. Kentucky is responsible for a lot of great music, but have you ever wondered who the best musical artists from Kentucky are?Some artists, like Nick Lachey of 98 Degrees, were born in Kentucky but raised elsewhere. Other famous artists like Joan Osborne spent their entire childhoods in the Bluegrass State. Numerous bands, such as Nappy Roots and My Morning Jacket, were based out of Kentucky for a time before they grew in national acclaim. Kentucky truly has a storied history, and these roots have influenced music for the past several decades. Other popular Kentucky artists include Billy Ray Cyrus, Cage the Elephant, The Everly Brothers, and Bryson Tiller.These artists may come from all different kinds of genres, but it is up to the readers to decide who should take the top spot. Will a country act take first or a <a href="https://www.ranker.com/tags/hard-rock?ref=internalCrossLinking_tag">hard rock</a> band?

Pantera, The Mars Volta, ZZ Top, and plenty of other bands played smaller gigs in Austin, Houston, and Dallas before touring the rest of the United States.
