i love it when guys who dont know their shit from their shinola come out with stuff like this- ¿bob seger?- the guys a fucking genius- ¿tom petty?- ¿springsteen?- ¿aerosmith?- ¿boston?- ¿foreigner?- ¿van halen?- ¿bon jovi?- ¿guns & roses?- ¿steve miller?- ¿¿¿???
be easier to list the bands that are eligible- & a¿wheres hdu & salmonella & dub & the munt chucks &c in all this?
Limp Bizkit are by far the worst in the world. Thinking that they could ride their hopes on a Who cover i.e "Behind Blue Eyes"...shame on you. They had more of a chance releasing a cover of "Dirrty" or "Lady Maramalade" (the All Saints version, not the "other" one) and being successful. To be honest, I did buy Chocolate Starfish, but back then, I thought that rap-metal was pretty damn fine. But now I have seen the error of my ways and no-more will I be fooled by that King of Fools himself, Fred Durst.
they all seem to be fairly recent bands, but then I guess all the shit bands from the 60's and 70's have already been forgotten, no matter how many albums they sold at the time.
Anything with Fred durst's involvement is horseshit (puddle of mudd, staind, limp bizkit anyone?). creed are foul, scott stapp's open shirt, hairy chest poses, with that deep look in his eyes... music to back the image up.

// shit bands from the 60's and 70's have already been forgotten,

as Heather pointed out...
// the original nominees were all bands that have had at least 1 album sell 5 million copies
so there's plenty of eligible 60s and 70s bands. These one's made his final 64: Boston, Chicago, Foreigner, Van Halen, Steve Miller Band, Bruce Springsteen, REO Speedwagon, Bob Seger, Tom Petty, Santana, the Bee Gees, the Doobie Brothers, Journey, Genesis, Aerosmith, Bad Company, and Heart.
and these one's were left out as being 'unimpeachable bubble performers', whatever that means: the Doors, the Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, The Rolling Stones, Earth Wind & Fire, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Bob Marley. The Doors? Hmmmm...
Perhaps that topic might be more accurately entitled 'The Worst Band to Have Ever Sold Five Million Records.'
//'unimpeachable bubble performers', whatever that means
"bubble teams" who really don't belong in a competition for worst band ever, due to consistent critical success, influence on entire genres of music, etc.
Also, he mentioned how he's harder on more recent bands...
(Lump Buzkut vs. Motley Crue)
The other problem with Limp Bizkit is that they are in our faces right now ... Does that mean that things are worse now than they've ever been? I don't think so . . . I think it's just that time heals, and recent affronts to good taste are going to feel bigger than slights from 20 years ago.
..he then accommodates that tendency in his judgement; Motley Crue move on to the next round.
i have that right- it was given me by god- just after i suggested ways he might while away the days- during the week i went off to visit friends- aeons ago
No one's mentioned the Feelers! They would go head to head with Creed anyday. Hell of a contest if you ask me... I couldn't pick a winner... A bookies nightmare.
You get the feeling that there is still a god in the world when the feelers HAVEN'T sold 5 million records and are therefore not part of the competition.
// Aint this meant to be a site supportin NZ music not dissin it?
I think it's pretty much an 'anything goes' kinda vibe around this place. I doubt you'd ever get a bunch of music fans in a room (virtual or real) agreeing to only discuss music in a positive light. C'est la vie.

Theres probably a lot more than that, but there's gotta be some picks for worst band in that list
without actually knowing for sure, I'd be pretty confident you could add...

Headless Chickens

The Clean (if we can count Boodle Boodle Boodle)

...to the list of platinum selling NZ acts. Although, I'd probably still just use angrypigeon's list to get to the 'worst' band.
i agree with the last half a dozen comments, on the whole NZ music sucks badly.
Zed, elemenop, need to be particularly singled out as the crapiest of the bunch.
the only decent nz bands are betchadupa and goodshirt
yeah i just put push down the bottom as a slight
because i hear their sound as highly derivative of these 3
perhaps my top pics for worst acts of human kind
