i stopped reading when queen was listed. stupid thread. close it
I'm with you. Freddy Mercury is arguably one of the best and most influential front men of all time. And their flexibility in musical styles is beyond impressive. So they did disco. BFD. They also did some wicked stuff that bordered on speed/heavy metal well before that was even a concept. Listen to Sheer Heart Attack on Queen Live Killers. Or even better, Stone Cold Crazy. I was probably 7 or 8 when my brother played his Live Killers 8-track back in the late 70's. I still have it.

I cannot wrap my head around someone calling them the worst.

His music might be OK but a poll in the U.K. called Sting the worst lyricist in rock history. That might be part of the reason why I can't stand the guy

I dunno, it takes a special talent to write catchy pop songs about stalkers and pedophiles and abusive relationships and speech impediments

lol, Daily Mail readers are dubious authorities on anything really, apart from immigrant outrages and 'ample endowments'

Plus they're still pissed at him for the whole tantric sex thing.

Those 4 songs are on my list of the 10 worst songs EVER !!!!

Not a big fan of Sting, to say the least.

No one has hated on Motley Crue (they are pretty badass)

So I guess they are the real winners in this thread.

My disagreements in the thread

Queen - badass
Nickleback - I like a lot of their stuff
Offspring - I like a lot, but it is all pretty repetitive (but so is AC/DC and they are badass)

Agreements
Pearl Jam absolutely without question sucks balls. They would be my # 1.

Oh.... what has 9 arms and sucks? Def Lepperd. They are a solid # 2 on my list.

All I could think as I read this thread is that 95% of ST have no taste in rock. When I saw The Replacements, The Ramones, and The Clash on someone's list, I knew I was right.

I'll agree that the musical I.Q. around here is a joke...But I think the list you're referring to was supposed to be sarcastic.

You are correct...the musical IQ here is a joke...to say the least.

Having said that, I think the list begins and, possibly, ends here:

Tom Petty is a pretty incredible musician even if you don't care for his music. Go watch the documentary on him on Netflix.

I believe this threat already determined scientifically that Nickleback is, in fact, the worst band.

I agree, I'm was just coming up with musicians nobody has hated on. IMO for straight up Rock and Roll, the Stones and Tom Petty do it better than most others.

I don't think you understand the evolution of this thread.

Having said that, the Alan Parsons Project used as the intro to the Chicago Bulls has completely turned me off on the band and, therefore, they get to be included on the list.






Take a short break from ST and read my blog:
