The Top 20 Worst Bands of All Time-LA Weekly
What makes a terrible band? Is it being prepared to do the wrong thing, whatever the price? That and a pair of testicles. Only, some of the below groups possess testicles only in the symbolic sense. Because, even if you're composed of ladies, it takes balls to make music that is simultaneously pretentious and dopey, derivative and uniquely craptastic. And so in that spirit we present the worst bands of all time. As with our top 20 greatest musicians of all time and top 20 hair metal albums of all time lists, we take this shit very seriously, even enlisting objective third party analysts to review our findings for accuracy. -Ben Westhoff
Here is a peek:
8. Hootie & The Blowfish
What do white people have to complain about, George Carlin once posited. "Did Banana Republic run out of khakis? Are Hootie & the Blowish breaking up?" If only. Though their leader Darius Rucker is black, Hootie could not be more vanilla. What's worse is that, while good bands struggle to make decent money, Hootie seemingly siphoned off all of it in their '90s heyday, going more platinum than Sandra Dee. If only Hootie were Sandra Dee. -Kai Flanders

I disagreed with The Eagles choice. I mean I disagree with The Dude , but Im a native SouthernCalifornia guy and it does matter what you put on your burrito.
I think they may be right about Pearl Jam. And, can we entertain The Red Hot Chili Peppers on this list?

I believe all bands may have some low lights. They colored some of their more controversial choices with only low lights. High lights mitigate some of the damage.
well what are the consensus worst bands? I hated Oasis. I'll start there.

I definitely have never been a Dave Matthews fan. Yet almost everyone around me loves the band-what gives?
I have just become a Rush fan last year. I know Neal Peart is an asshole, but I donmt want to interview him.

I think most of them are good calls. Lets face it, Wings was lame beyond words.
Rush does not belong on that list. Either do the Sex Pistols. Other than that I agree with pretty much everybody else.

Edit - Yes, the RHCP don't belong either.

Rush will forever be in my top 10. Although some of their music is dated..it is still good stuff and the lyrics are like pure poetry.

LOL... what a list.
It's so trollbait that a few of those almost encourage an actual response from me.. heh
Edit
So.. I decided to see what they ranked as the top musicians of all time. I made it to BIG, Marley, and Madonna. At that point I laughed and stopped going further.

Some of those bands are one hit wonders (4non blondes) but any list that rates pearl jam or RHCP as top 20 worst is pretty much null and void.

I don't get why someone would bother to put LCD Sound System on there unless they bear some kind of grudge. Most people haven't even heard of LCD SS and its not good or bad, just forgettable.
