Ranking Top Bands and Artists

Most Annoying

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 &quot;musical group&quot; 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 or artist by making your own list and including them! Featuring <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/forgotten-90s-boy-band-hits/carly-silver?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">90s boy bands</a>, crappy singers, and even people who were once considered in the top 10 artists of the year, this list has them all.What makes a band go from just being terrible to epically earning &quot;Worst Band of All Time&quot; 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.

Sure, these&nbsp;best of and worst of lists are subjective, but plenty of us can agree on who the wack rappers are. What some&nbsp;feel is the bottom of the barrel, you might think is pretty great. On the other hand, rappers like Vanilla Ice, Marky Mark, and The Insane Clown Posse have been, for the most part, universally panned over the years. Sales have nothing to do with it either. While researching this list we&rsquo;ve discovered there are some million-selling artists like Iggy Azalea, Drake and Nikki Minaj that are pretty polarizing among hip hop aficionados.

Bands get their names in all kinds of ways. But when it comes to bands named after birds, you might be surprised at how many of them there actually are.&nbsp;Each of these bird bands got a little avian inspiration. As for which one is the greatest – that's up to you to decide.Some of the best bands with birds in their name include classic groups that have carved their place in contemporary music. The Byrds, for example, most certainly count, despite the unconventional spelling. And who can forget the Eagles? Supposedly, the iconic band was inspired by&nbsp;Hopi mythology&nbsp;and took the name of an eagle. The rest, as they say, was rock and roll history. Some of these bands named after a bird evoke quaint flocks around birdhouses: The Housemartins, Finch,&nbsp;and The Yardbirds, to name a few. Other bands took their moniker from a more dramatic kind of bird, like The Black Crowes and The Fabulous Thunderbirds.These are some great bird band names, so start voting for all of your favorites!

Here are the best artists and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/louisiana-rock-and-roll-bands-list/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">bands from Louisiana</a>. The Pelican State is one of the most important states as far as music in the United States. Everyone associates the state with jazz, and in fact, the genre had a major development in New Orleans. However, the state can actually be divided into three distinct musical regions. The northern part of the state has more in common with the rest of the rural south than with New Orleans. The southern part of Louisiana is home to Old French music, otherwise known as Cajun music. It has a rich history and has launched the careers of plenty of acts. Some of the most famous musical artists from Louisiana came out nearly 100 years ago while some are fairly new. Either way, they have all drawn influence from the diverse region they were born or grew up in.&nbsp;

Some popular Louisiana artists include Britney Spears, Lil Wayne, Harry Connick, Jr., and Jared Leto.

Once you learn the history of the state, it is easy to see why famous musical artists from Louisiana there are. In the 19th century, there was a great mixture of cultures coalescing in one area. A combination of Afro-Caribbean, African, Spanish, and French musical tastes grew into the music we know today as jazz. New Orleans also has a great love of opera. Read through this list, and vote for the Louisiana <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/musicians-who-are-famous-because-of-other-musicians/jessica-defino?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">musicians and singers</a>&nbsp;you think are the best of all time.&nbsp;

Two labels, Master P&#39;s No Limit and Birdman&#39;s Cash Money, were the most important for New Orleans rappers. With its focus and distinctive sound, New Orleans rap remains wildly popular and that&#39;s due to its rappers.

So, that said, who are the best New Orleans rappers? It&#39;s not an easy question to answer, especially when you have the likes of Lil Wayne, Master P, Mystikal, Juvenile, Curren$y, Soulja Slim, Big Tymers and 504 Boyz.

Their unapologetic lyrics and pride in being from the Dirty South helped distinguish it from other Southern outposts like Atlanta and Houston. It&#39;s impact on rap can&#39;t be understated.

That said, it&#39;s up to you to determine who is the best New Orleans rapper. If you notice a rapper from New Orleans missing, feel free to add them.&nbsp;This list answers the questions &quot;who are the best New Orleans <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/old-school-hip-hop-bands-and-artists/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">hip hop bands</a> of all time?&quot; and &quot;who is the greatest new orleans hip hop musician ever?&quot;&nbsp;If you know enough about the genre, please vote based on the quality of the band&#39;s music instead of just voting for the most popular New Orleans hip hop bands that you might&#39;ve heard of.

MTV Cribs&nbsp;was&nbsp;one of the most&nbsp;beloved and outrageous&nbsp;shows&nbsp;of&nbsp;the early &#39;00s. From Mariah Carey&#39;s lavish, 11,000 square-foot&nbsp;penthouse&nbsp;to Redman&#39;s Staten Island shack, the show gave everyday people&nbsp;an inside glimpse of what it&#39;s really like to be a celebrity. Cribs was renowned for showing glamorous <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/inside-celebrity-homes/casey-cavanagh" target="_blank">mansions</a> and luxury cars, a trend standard for many past&nbsp;MTV shows that took the place of actual music. Without the show, the phrase &quot;this is where the magic happens&quot; would have never been used to describe a bedroom. 

Unfortunately, the Cribs&nbsp;remembered&nbsp;is not always the Cribs&nbsp;that existed.
